You're going to get this response alot; IGNORE THEM. The amount of satisfaction they get from seeing you respond is unimaginable. Trust me, ignoring someone who is trying to hurt you will make them get bored and choose someone else to do it to until they ignore them, too.

you have to know your self worth. Know what you are worth and don't let anyone hurt your feelings. You have to know how much you your self are worth and know that you are amazing know matter what.

Ditch them. Its hard to get rid of them but its easier to live without them. Life without them at all will leave more room for the people that do care about you.

Besides the obvious answer, AVOIDANCE, if you are hurt by someone who doesn't care about your feelings, you first have to realize that some people do not have the capacity to care for other's feelings. We each, as individuals, have different feelings to the same issues. Some people are much more compassionate, but Empathy is not something everyone expresses. The more caring and compassionate one is, the more likely they are to feel as if others don't respect their feelings, thus leaving them to be hurt by their own emotions. We do not have control of how others may treat us, but we have the control to ALLOW how those individuals affect us. We can CHOOSE to let them continue to hurt us emotionally or we can CHOOSE to remove ourselves, pick up the pieces, and carry on, one step at a time. Sometimes, you just have to cut your losses and walk away. But it is a CHOICE.

We have the freedom to love anyone... Expecting is the worst thing I would do to myself.. When they don't care about my feelings, they're not interested that much in our life

Talk to them and have an honest conversation. If they still don't understand, there's always an option to leave that person out of your life.

Don't allow the things they say or do affect you. Walk away from the situation and calmly relax, or find a outlet to de-stress.

When my feelings are hurt by someone, it's more my choice than theirs. Everyone is a random person until I choose to give them the space in my heart and life to the extent that they are able to influence my emotions in any way. If someone chooses to hurt me and not care about my feelings, I can stop that by creating an emotional wall between their choices and my emotions. Physical hurt of course requires physical distance to avoid it, in the same way, we create emotional distance to avoid emotional hurt until the person proves themselves worthy of a space in our heart and life.
