You could gradually withdraw the extra care you show to the person. Reduced visits, phone calls and text messages

Moving on. I feel though that it's okay to care about that person. You don't have anything to do with that person but it's still okay to care. Caring is just a basic human action. It's something you shouldn't fight because you could end up heartless and cold.

Realize that you are the most important thing, and even if you care for someone deeply, that doesn't always mean they are meant to be a part of your life.

Don't try to stop caring. Instead, just fill your time up with other things. Go dancing, read, write, explore, see your other friends, hang out with your family. Eventually, you'll stop thinking about them and you'll move on. Good luck

Getting over someone is hard. We have all been through it. Most of us don't know how to cope with it. Distracting your mind from whoever this person is, and not keeping in contact with them. It always leads to the same heartbreak.

Do not be afraid to meet new people. In order to truly get over someone (from experience) you need to find someone else. That sounds impossible right now, I know, but truly it is the only way. Don't worry soon you will look at this person you will laugh and say wow I cannot believe I was that involved emotionally. It took me a while to get over my last ex and it was very hard and I get very confused over how other guys work. its hard and it hurts like hell! But the advice you need to get under somebody to get over somebody is one of the best advice I've been given honestly. Good luck hun! You will find somebody some day who loves you as much as you so love them!

This is something that a lot of people have to go through, and it can be super hard. It can be done in a plethora of ways, however. One of these ways includes to block all contact with the other person. This would then help to perhaps "get over" the person (if you care for the person in a romantic way) and would also aid us on our path to not caring. Another way could be to acknowledge the feelings and let them out, through crying, talking to a friend, or even reaching out to a listener on 7 Cups. Furthermore, another path to take could be to surround yourself with friends and loved ones, to remind yourself that you are loved and cared about, and the other person who seemingly does not care is possibly not worth your time.

in my opinion the best thing to do to stop caring about someone is to focus on yourself , I've had the same case before like I didn't stop chasing my partner after breakup , after a lot of tryings to get him back I started to care about myself by accepting it and giving myself some love, I started to hangout with friends just to forget a little bit about him. It was difficult at first but I made some improvements, I set some goals and told myself that the only one that I should care about first, is me.

I wouldn't suggest you dig and dive deep into someone not caring about you part. Yes its painful realising that someone whom you hold dear to you doesn't seem to care enough for you as you would want them to. It's completely valid and understandable to feel hurt and want to stop caring in order to get rid of the negative emotions such as pain and disappointment. Tho if you actually want to move on and stop caring, the only way to do that is let yourself feel the pain, work on stopping of the denial process and start accepting that you were okay without them before and you would be ok with or without now. You are important and loved. Try to see that you have a life of your own and there are others out there who would like to be with you. Closing the contact number, getting new hobby, keeping yourself busy, getting in some activities which heightens your confidence would work as well :)
