Give up on people who cant receive love or return love.
Give as much as you can and if there is no response from the other side then you can give up on them.

Yes, fairly recently too. Regulars on here would know my story about my daughter and her ex.....and the fact that all that stuff triggered my depression.
The last straw with this guy was being ignored - to the point I saw him deliberately turn his head away from me to avoid eye contact. Simply put he couldn't handle the guilt of putting my girl through so much pain, and can't face even me looking at him yet alone speaking to me.
I have given up on him being a decent person because of his last act of ignoring me....if I ever see him again it will be too soon.
So I guess I can say " yes - I have given up on someone"...sad really, coz he did have some potential to be a special person.... but that really did me in....

I wouldn't call it giving up, if the someone or anyone that you are referring too had any type of meaning in your life and the thought that you need to step back from the situation is there than thats what you should do. I have a friend, I love her to death and would do anything for her, She got involved with drugs and her whole life changed before both of our eyes so I finally after months of trying to help and convince her of the wrong in her life I had to walk away and just pray that one day she will see that life isn't as bad as she thinks it is. some people need more strength than others you may be that strenght he/she needs. He or She may just need to hit rock bottom and when they are ready to be picked up just be there with no questions asked. I hoped I helped.

yes..my mom i had a rough childhood i am now 21 yrs old but she has been on drugs my whole life and always chose that over her kids and family and i would pray for constantley and i had hop that she could change and will especially with her going to jail and losing custody of her kids(me and my bro) and dealing with courts and close calls..but she is still the same 21 yrs later...i never thought that i could give up on my mom but here we are i remember getting calls from her sayig that she was coming to see us and hours would pass no calls and then a day wuold pass then three and still no mom then get another call saying she was on her way and nothing i got tired of sticking up for her and lookin like an idiot and really tired of waiting so i just gave up on the fact that she would ever change it still like this today and i think it is easier for me to handle it if i dont care because then i dont put my feelings out there to be crushed..maybe she will eventually change but im not gonna hold my breathe

Yes I have. The person in my case was a very dear friend at point in my life. She refused to believe that my now husband didn't do some bad stuff that she said(and probably still says)
he did, and I finally just gave up and told her to go f**k herself and her husband. If they didn't want to believe me and trust me that I was telling the truth than they didn't deserve to be my friend.

Yea...soo many times...but only because i knew that i wasnt gonna get anything out of holding on to those people...sometimes u just goota let it all go in order to protect urself and over the years i have learned my lessons...its not a pretty thing but atleast it heals over time unlike if i were still holding on!

yeah. It was sad too. I waited five years, hoping things would work out. IT didn't. And later I relized ti was for the best of both of us. IT was hard though. But hey, we're both happier for it. So I guess I should be glad.

I have a 10% rule. I will give 10% of myself and wait to see what the person does with it. You can't help those who won't help themselves. A negative will drain a positive.

"a yes" - always a false answer,
because if one has given up on somebody,
then that person should be non-consequential
for "yes" and also for"no"
