I would like to be the type of person that always stands up for myself. When people disrespect me I want to always get them back. I never want to take the high road I always want to get revenge to those who have done me wrong. I always want to stand up for myself and speak up for myself. I want to set boundaries with people and not let people disrespect me. If I need to fight people because they are disrespecting me then I want to fight people. I want to know how I can be the type of person to fight people when I need to and then win the fights. In middle school and high school I unknowingly took the high road sometimes in situations and deeply regret doing that.

You can’t. If you respond to absolutely every challenge, you become pathetically easy to manipulate.
Start by respecting yourself. Be stern and confident. Don’t try to be the bully, be the guy with the backbone.
Exactly where do you go to get so much abuse? Is it at work? In class at college?
Are you sure you’re not provoking conflict?
But why? What does this achieve? The high roads are great, you can move on with your life and leave the judgemental and immature in the dust. I have friends who let insecurity get the better of them and have started fights. They never win them, you won’t either. Just move on and drop the vengeance thing, it’s a movie trope, and makes people unlikeable and easy to manipulate.
There’s a difference between revenge and setting boundaries.
