Whenever someone hurts you, physically or psychologically, hurt five times worse.
The biblical law of "[23] ...if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, [24] Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, [25] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe..." (Exodus 21:23-25, KJV) is a description of proportionality.
Only and eye for an eye etc. Anything beyond a proportionate response is wrong.
That's fine, as long as you remember that just because you got hurt by someone, does not mean they were trying to hurt you. If you respond in kind like that, to someone who doesn't know they hurt you, then you will just look like the bad guy.
