If someone doesn't care about your feelings, and if explaining to them that they're hurting your feelings does not work, then it may be best to avoid them because they're not worth your time if they don't care about you. But if you can not avoid this person then I'd recommend to affirm yourself that the person who is hurting you is in the wrong and whatever they're saying or doing to you is not right. It shows more about who they are as a person than it does you. It's difficult to not be hurt by mean people, but if you can, I'd recommend thinking positive thoughts about yourself and trying not to dwell on this person who is hurting you, because that just leads to them hurting you even more.

Remove yourself from them. If they don't care about your feelings, they are not worthy of making you feel hurt, and you deserve better!

When in a scenario such as this speak to a person of authority within the community. They have no right to treat you in such manner. Additionally there are various references on 7cups which may be able to help you deal with this issue.

You can stop them from hurting you by distancing yourself from them. If you don't give people the power to hurt you, then they can't do anything.

the simplest way is not to let them don't pay attention to what they are doing or saying as long as they are trying to upset you they are not in control unless you let them and all you have to do is remember that what they think of you doesn't matter

Sometimes you have to know when to call it a day with people. If someone doesn't care about your feelings then they won't care if they hurt you. Focus on finding people that do care

If you are positive the other person will only cause you harm, the best thing for you to do is walk away from the negativity and focus on the positive things in your life.

If a person does not care about your feelings, then it sounds like they're a toxic presence to be around. The best thing to do would be to bring up your concerns to them and try to have an open and calm communication. However, if this isn't possible or if you've already tried this, and you know this person is committed to not changing, then you should try to distance yourself from them. This can be difficult in the case of family members or coworkers, and if you can't remove them from your life (or even keep them from playing such a large role in your life), it's best to work on having confidence in yourself. Remind yourself that this person is hurting you because they don't care, and that their opinions and hurtful words don't need to impact your sense of self.

I think in times where others aren't giving you the help and support you need, it's important for you do to everything for yourself that you can. Were you hoping your friend/partner might take you for a walk? Go out on the walk yourself! There are great benefits to doing things independently when you aren't feeling your best, so don't let a lack of support from others stop you from helping yourself.
