When someone treats you like you are just one of many options, help them narrow their choice by removing yourself from the equation. Sometimes you have to try not to care no matter how much you do because sometimes, you can mean almost nothing to someone who means so much to you. It's not pride-- It's self respect. Don't expect to see positive changes in your life if you surround yourself with negative people. Don't give part-time people a full-time position in your life. Know your value and what you have to offer, and never settle for anything less than you deserve.
