Realize that you're not in control of anyone else's actions, you can only control your reaction. You can imagine their hurtful words just sliding off of you. Other people's issues don't need to affect you. Just because they're feeling bad about themselves for one reason or the other, doesn't mean they can hurt you. It helps when someone says something mean or hurtful to realize that they're hurting. People really can be nasty! The best way to deal with it is: don't let it get to you! Realize that its their issue. You can be the one to control your reactions and not get upset. You can do it!

The simple answer to this is self-respect. As being a victim to this vicious cycle myself, I used to believe that people would treat me nice if I treat them well. Also, drawing boundaries and ignoring felt very disrespectful to me. So I was stuck in this circle where anyone would walk over and hurt me and I would just feel sad about it. Even though I was told to draw boundaries, I didn't know how. The simple answer to this was respecting myself enough to know that my feelings are hurt by someone's actions that arent reciprocating the way I treated them. Saying no is powerful, ignoring mean words are powerful, distancing yourself and silence are some tools you could use to keep yourself protected.

Make sure the person KNOWS you're hurting them! If they do and still aren't stopping, maybe try to get some outside help. For example, if it's your parents, there are hotlines you can call. If it's abuse within a relationship, there are also hotlines.

The thing is we can never stopped them from hurting you when they didn't even care they do. How about we alter that question a bit? How can you stop caring about people who doesn't care they hurt you? Because its more appropriate to ignore them and not care rather than stopped them.

Although it may be hard to admit, but I believe that the only way you can save yourself from getting even more hurt is to distance yourself from the person. Yes it will be difficult especially when its someone you truly care about but sometimes when we think too much about others we forget about ourselves. Being selfless doesn't mean forsaking your own health and happiness. It means putting others' needs before your own, not completely forgetting that you have your own needs too. Giving them space may make them realize things they wouldn't have if you were just around to catch them every time they fall or stumble.

Leave them. If they don't care then they have no right to be in your life. Always remember that you deserve the best and if someone keeps on hurting you and doesn't care then they don't deserve to be near you let alone close enough to hurt you. You're amazing and you need to remember that.

If they don't care about your feelings, they will mean to hurt you.
but only you are capable of changing that; you choose to be hurt. Think about it.
Be like a wall, not a pudding. If something hits you, let it come back at them on its own. If you remain as you are as a pudding, things will go right through you.

Make it a point to release yourself from codependency and detactment. Leting go does not mean not caring for them. It is just making sure you are taking care of yourself first.
