I've found that the people who don't care about my feelings do not deserve to be given the ability to hurt me. Avoid them and their negativity, and if you can't do that, then just don't listen, their opinion wasn't asked for anyway.

Many would say to just not care about them and what they say or do. Often, however, it is difficult to do this, especially if it is a person who you care about. This can sometimes lead to a person trying to hide that they are hurt and keep their emotions hidden which is unhealthy. The best thing to do is avoid them as much as possible. Give them no reason to bother you. If they are someone who is close to you and/or difficult to avoid, confront them. Sometimes, people need to be confronted and told to stop in order for them to take you seriously. Often, this shows that you are not weak and capable of standing up for yourself.

You don't. You are the master of your faculties, the captain of your own ship. No one can control you, you choose how you feel when someone is trying to bring you down. You can choose to be hurt and feel victimised, or laugh it off and realise that life has so much more to offer than a few sullen grouses :) have a great day ahead!

You can stop someone from hurting you when they dont even care about your feelings by telling a close friend about it, or by blocking them out of your life.

Love yourself enough not to let them. Know that you are the bigger person and ignore as much of thir negative behavior as possible and reward the positive. set boundaries. put your foot down.

When we feel hurt by someone, it can be very easy to try and focus on how we can change their behavior, so the pain will stop. Unfortunately, we can't make anyone else change. Fortunately, we can change our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. First we can examine our thoughts, and see if the way we are thinking about how they are relating to us is rational or irrational. Are we projecting our biases, our wounds, or our past on to them? If we know that they are indeed acting in a way that isn't caring, we can move on to our feelings. This step is pretty easy, because obviously someone treating us poorly and not caring about us feels painful! Finally, we have to decide about how we are going to change our own behavior. Have we verbally told the person how they are making us feel? Have we set up boundaries of what kind of behavior we'll tolerate from others and what behavior is a deal breaker? Finally, it may be painful, but sometimes the best thing we can do to show ourselves compassion and caring is to cut toxic people out of our lives. We can't change how people treat us, but we can teach them how to treat us. Whether they pass or fail is on them.

Most things in life we cannot control, but one thing we can always control are our thoughts, feelings, and reactions to things surrounding us.
