@parradisee: "Not caring" about someone (emotionally distancing yourself or cutting off communication) is an effective way to save yourself if the relationship is causing you nothing but stress. To do this with minimal damage, you need to act systematically and consistently. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to stop wasting energy on someone who isn't worth it.1. Limit contact. No monitoring. Stop checking social media, their online status, and new photos. Use "silent mode." Hide notifications from the person or archive/ban their profile. Delete history. Rip off the "band-aid" – delete old messages and shared photos. Maintain social distancing during meetings. If you work or study together, keep your conversations strictly to the point and conversational.Focus on flaws. Stop idealizing the person and remember all their bad deeds. Safeword rule. As soon as you catch yourself thinking about them, mentally say "Stop" and switch gears. Acceptance of reality. Realize that you can't change someone else's actions, but you can change your reaction.Lack of expectations. Don't expect anything from this person—no apologies, no changes in behavior. 3. Shift your focus. New routine. Load up your day with work, study, or exercise. Change of scenery. Rearrange your furniture, update your wardrobe, or go somewhere new. Different people. Spend more time with those who appreciate and support you. A hobbies with a lot of focus. Take up something you've been putting off for a long time and that requires a lot of concentration.
