I try to be a very understanding person when other people are having problems but when it comes to me people don't seem to care. It just ends up hurting me in the end. I tried talking to these people about it but they just argue with me and talk down to me and I have a hard time explaining how I feel sometimes. It makes me really mad. So why should I care about people who don't care about me? I just wanna quit caring but some people might say that you should care anyways cause that's the right thing to do. But it doesn't help and just makes me feel really bad in the end so why should I care anymore? I should just quit caring.

If people have hurt you in the past, you have every right to toss them away from your life. However, know that there are good people in the world; so we must never stop caring about human beings. If we all did, the world would be an horrible place

I feel like you much of the time. It feels like all I do is give and all they do is take. I’m sick of it. Most people in this world love suckers like us. They suck us dry and could care less about OUR feelings , needs or concerns.
Just stop giving and see how quick these phonies disappear from your life.
And as far as I’m concerned, good riddance !!! Learn how to channel all that caring to yourself. Give what you have left to those who will show genuine appreciation for your kindness.

When you're giving and not getting the same in return, it's maddening and hurts. Seems they don't want to hear it and just want to take from you. I had the same thing happen with a narcissistic friend of mine who exploded on me when I confronted her about her similar behavior towards me. Walk away and take care of yourself. You deserve to have your needs met, too. ((((((hugs))))))

I recently told someone to never again call me for at any reason at all following a similar kind of situation, and this was far from being the first. So why should I care about people who don't care about me? Because to hate them and no longer care about anyone but myself is to become just like them.

I agree with the posters above. You could stop putting yourself out there for the people that are doing nothing but taking from you. Save your caring for those who understand give and take.

Just perhaps be pickier about to whom you decide to give your greatest caring, that's all. As Jennifer points out, friendships are about give and take. You don't have to hate these people for not being able to give. They are limited in their ability. Some people are too self absorbed to be able to give back.. just view them as having limitations.

The answer to your question is NO you don't have to care about people who don't care about you.

Going forward try to be more discerning about choosing friends. You can tell early on if someone is a caring person or a taker.

There are signs a person is a user/taker:

The person only calls you when they want something
They habitually do not return your calls or texts. (Not just occasionally)
When you are with them all they want to talk about is themselves and their issues.
They change the subject when you try to talk about yourself.
They expect you to go along with their plans but are a no show when it's something you want to do.

You can't change people, all you can do is protect yourself by choosing people who are good a caring people.
