First of all, congratulate yourself for recognizing that they do not care and they are hurting you. Your awareness of a situation and facing any reality is key to change. If you do not have a partner in communication with this other person about improving your relationship, you must create a boundary for yourself. That boundary can be emotional and/or physical. You and only you are responsible for protecting yourself and looking out for your best interest. Get away from toxic situations and use your energy to find loving, supportive, substantial relationships that feed your soul. Start with your own relationship with yourself. Best of luck on your journey of self care!

Stopping someone from hurting you when they don't care about your feelings is difficult because you can't control what do to you. All of us have different thoughts, feelings and ideas formed into opinions. Not caring about your feelings will already hurt, but there are other sides to look at. It's a challenge that you can learn and grow from.

Like others have said I would say it depends, but, I think generally, someone that hurts you over and over doesn't care enough. Even if they don't know what they are doing wrong, or have hurt you unintentionally, I think someone who really places your feelings highly, would try and figure out what's happening, or what they could do to change things. I think someone that hurts you over and over could care for you a lot, but maybe care about themselves more, and the benefit they get from hurting you, or probably more likely, care more about not putting themselves through the effort and discomfort of changing the behaviour or investigating the situation more deeply.
This would depend on the person knowing they are hurting your feelings, which I think your post suggests they do.

You have to speak up for yourself. You have to stand up for yourself. You cannot expect someone to respect you if you do not respect your own self.

Cutting ties with them, but it takes time to do this, you have to be brave and do it when you're ready. Its horrible to do but you have to think what's best for yourself

In my experience, I have found it best to avoid interacting on a personal level with people who don't care about my feelings and could possibly end up hurting me. Anyone who doesn't care about your feelings is not worthy of your time and energy. They have the problem which has nothing at all to do with you. Unfortunetly, there is nothing you can do to change someone who is like that. Care about yourself enough to be around people who love and respect you and will treat you how you deserve to be treated.

The best thing to do is tell someone about it. Maybe an adult you qre close to.
The people that pick on you are often hoping that you will get angry or upaet so the best thing to do is also ignore them and eventually they will get bored

First of all you should stop giving yourself expectations that are false, maybe you should try to surround yourself by people who appreciate your presence and notice your absence.There is one quote "When you can't forgive because someone let you down, focus on yourself, not them", this is true because you owe yourself to care for you not for someone else who doesn't even move a finger for you .At the end there is someone out there who cares for you , give that time to them and don't waste it on those who don't care.
