You can't stop someone else from their actions. The only person you can control is yourself. If you feel you are in a relationship or friendship that makes you feel this way, then its time to take a step back and evaluate that relationship. Only you can look within your heart and decide what is best for you.

From my experience the best way is cut off toxic people. Sometimes you must think about yourself. It this person makes you feel down you should consider is this person should be a guest in your life.

To ignore them, and know they're trying to hurt you, shouldn't hurt you. Be yourself and stay strong

Act like you don't care either. And gradually your actions will become your reality. That's all I would say.

Hmm, i guess you should force yourself to stop having contact with that someone, because if you still do, i bet it'll just continue hurting you. If you feel they dont romantically love you, you cant just walk away. i know it hurts and i know youll get through it. just have a little fight

You need to leave them. If you have told them how they make you feel and thy still haven't tried to change then you should cut them out of your life

If I realise someone are acting with no or little empathy for my feelings I try to see the situation as much from a distance as I can. It's easier then to distance myself from words that could be either directed to hurt or said witout thought of how I would take them. It can be hard to understand what the person hurting me is thinking and going through, but if I try to understand that it usually helps me to see all the actions as a a cause and effect rather than a superior person not validating me. If I feel good about myself and make sure I have activities on the sparetime that are enriching and have space to relax then my selfesteem usually gets higher and it's easier to deal with people with low empathy.

You can acknowledge that our emotions and reactions only stem from us. No person is perfect, so you will be hurt by someone that cares about you at some point in your life. The real challenge and triumph is to realize this and change the way we think about our lives and our surroundings. It will help things "roll off you back" more easily. Also, it will be easier to look at tough situations as a time to learn, and not as something negative we have to go through.

Get away from the ones that hurt you, stay away from them. If they don't show you that they care about your feelings, then they will think a lone, they still have feelings, and they'll eventually feel what have they been doing. If they don't. Then they are not worth your time.
