I can't help but ask this, but can you directly tell Satan "blank you"? ("Blank" being a particular cuss word)
Silly Question maybe

No. It's not effective, and you can't defeat sin by sin. We can, however, say with a clear conscience "The Lord rebuke you!" or "Jesus has defeated you!" or something to that effect. We don't get to curse Satan, but God has defeated Him, and we can confess that truth in simplicity.

You should read the book Deliverance Prayers for the Laity. It is very detailed on the authority of the laity and what we can pray and how to do it.
The good news is that you have the authority to drive Satan from yourself and your house.
Its worth the read

Unfortunately I've done countless of those prayers and I don't feel they're working.
We need prayers, but we also need the sacraments. Don’t you see that Satan is trying to keep you away from Mass to weaken you?
He tells you that Mass is boring and people there are not friendly, you are better off not going, but you are not better off. Your spirit is greatly weakened without the Eucharist.
If you are having struggles, I would take the advice of someone else in this tread and go to daily Mass. Pray to Mary to find Jesus in the Mass and in the sacraments. Receive Him as she did, with reverence and love.
the Our Father has us ask God to give us this day our daily bread. I can’t help but think that is referring to daily Mass. Satan wants to weaken you, don’t let him

I actually do, in a few ways.
I don't find Mass boring. I can't decide about the people.
That's possible right now, but once I work, I don't know how I'll be able to do that
I saw someone else say this too. This might be correct.
