Showing them that you are happy and that you are living life to the full is the best revenge possible.
The best way to get revenge on an ex is making him realize what he lost and feel sorry about it by being happy and successful in life, not for him but for yourself. :)

Just move on - he'll see you've moved on and that your happy without him, that is the best revenge
The answer is don't. Even if your ex did something wrongful to you, don't seek revenge. Don't sink to their level. You're better than what they are.
I found the best way to get revenge on your ex is to become the person you wanted to be in the relationship. Nothing stings more than realizing someone you loved is doing better than they were when you were with them. So hit the gym, eat more vegetables, go join zany clubs. The world is now your oyster, and the faster you get closer to who you want to be, the faster you don't have to worry about doing anything to your ex at all. The best way to win in this situation is to move on. The revenge would be looking back and realizing you did everything you should have, and embracing the fact that you are moving on. Your ex will realize they aren't part of your life anymore, and not is the best revenge.
Revenge is never the best course of action. It might seem good at the time but in the long run both of you will be unhappy and worse off for it.
You shouldn't seek for revenge because it will not help you as much as you think. Consider rather talking to someone about your problems and why you think that you want to do this.
The best way is not to get revenge. Or at least not anything violent or unnecessary. The best revenge would be to show them that you are happy and really just not to think about them. Be the best you can potentially be without changing yourself and live life the way that makes you happy . Show them you can be without them but it's not always healthy to do stuff only to get back at one. Hipe this helped !
Forgive them, and know that your worth isn't dependent on another person. The forgiveness part is surprisingly a lot of times more for your benefit than anyone else's. Rather than excusing what the person has done, you have decided not to spend energy on hating them, and refocus that energy towards healing.
At the end of the day revenge isn't always the answer because two wrongs don't make a right if you feel like revenge is the only answer then maybe ask a friend but it's never good!!
Revenge that hurts the other person is never okay and it won't make you feel better. Just live your life and show that you are independant and mature, and they will probably respect you more for it.
show them that your over the relationship. go out with friends, try and improve yourself like getting into shape, show them how happy your are being better off without them. show some inner strength and resilience. it may not be revenge as such but its shows your willing to put the past away and create a better present you. it shows you can move on.
You shouldn't get revenge on your ex, you should move on with life and forget about them. Put the past in the past and be the bigger person.

To be healthy and happy. The best revenge when it comes to an ex is to take care of yourself and be happy in doing so. Make new friends, Go on new adventures, find new hobbies and learn new things.
Be happy with yourself and moving on. Cutting all contacts with the ex and do things that you enjoy.

To be yourself and do things that make you happy. Flirt with some new people, but don't jump into anything. Make some new friends and move forward with your life. Otherwise they're winning because you're still thinking of them and getting back at them, which is what's expected.
Grow yourself to be a better person. When you're successful, you won't need to seek revenge.
Is that right?
I think the best way to get revenge on an ex is to show them how happy and complete your life is without them in it. Be you, the best you and they will know what they missed.
Laugh at them move on and leave them to them selves just concentrate on you and enjoy your life and and worry about others

First ask yourself, is it really worth it? Revenge, sometimes isn't the best answer. And sometimes, the best revenge on your ex, is showing them how much happier you are without them.
Don't. They're an ex for a reason. You don't and shouldn't 'seek revenge'. Unless they did something illegal. In that instance, tell the police or an adult.
Revenge is something that keeps you occupied with hateful thoughts that don't harm him - rather than they harm you. Letting go - although hard - is the best revenge because not caring is actually the thing that hurts the most. Living on is the best thing for you.
The best revenge on the ex would be to move on and live your life to the fullest no matter how much they will try to bring you down.

Never look for revenge, it is not worth it! Better was is to move on and show them you don't need them anymore. That your life is better without them.
Revenge isn't the best way, better to just let go, fighting fire with fire won't solve and won't help stop perpetuate the hate cycle, better embrace and accept all the bad things and move on, easier said than done tho
Don't look at it as a competition, be happy, spread positivity, move on with your life, stay awesome.
The best way, is to not get one. You can simply just be happy as who you are, nourish yourself, cherish yourself, spend time on yourself, and show them you’ve forgotten about them and better off without them. At the same time, you’ll feel good too, and improve as a person too :)
I think the best way to get revenge on an ex is to move on, have a happy and fulfilled life and do all the things that you thought a relationship was holding you back from doing. When my ex and I broke up I did think about ways to 'get back' at him, but the best solution is to get on with your life, become a healthy, happy person and enjoy being by yourself.
Revenge is definitely not the way to go. Harboring revenge will only make yourself more guilty. Just think about it, what are you trying to prove from revenge? That you are better than her, to feel the same pain that you felt? You'll only make yourself worse off by getting revenge.
