Sometimes the only thing you can do can feel like the hardest thing to do, and that's to simply remove that person from your life. It's easier said than done, and losing someone is never easy, but if someone doesn't care about your feelings and continuously hurts you, you owe it to yourself to demand better of people. If the person can't respect you and your feelings, you truly don't need them. It may take time, but it's sometimes the only way to truly get away from abuse.

Make them understand that you're also a human like them, that they shouldn't treat you like that, i guess.

Recognize that their anger likely comes from a place of pain. This makes their attack less personal and you become more empathetic towards their plight.

You get away from that person. Whoever does that to you does not deserve to be around the plethora of awesomeness that is you

If this person is upsetting you and seems to gain pleasure from achieving a negative reaction from you, maybe consider hiding your reaction from them- it may not feel like a solution to for example, go and cry where they can't see you, but this will increase their boredom as they no longer get the reaction they desire. Think of their actions as a form of attention seeking- they see you as a source of the attention they crave, and as a result return to you for it time and time again. Additionally, this will allow you to become stronger generally as you will learn to control your feelings so you are able to choose when, where, and how you release them, as opposed to breaking down in situations that make you feel worse. You may want to find out if their actions are intentional as they may just lack compatibility with you- take the example of an introvert and extrovert: the introvert may not feel comfortable with being put in the spotlight, but the extrovert being more confident may force this upon them purely as an unfortunate lack of empathy that will cause unintentional upset.

I can stop someone from hurting me by standing up for myself and subtracting then from my life. Keeping the positive in and leaving the negative aspects behind.

If somebody do not care about your feelings, it means that you do not mean anything to them. So I think you should cut them off from your life. It is better than being continuously hurt by them. I was in such a relationship for 3 years and I suffered, a lot. Then my brain started to work and I decided to cut them off.
