You gotta ask yourself every time you meet someone.
And the question is not whether or not they want to be with you. But, do you want to be with them?
You don't have to be the one who tolerates people all the time. You're allowed to have standards, to choose what's the best for you, what you want, what fits you, instead of accepting something that will make you uncomfortable in the future.
You don't have to be with someone only because they want you. Always ask yourself, do you want them? Are you ready to be with them?
I understand maybe you feel bad about rejecting them and think that tolerating them is the best option. But think of it this way. You've been tolerating them the whole time just because you think they want you and you don't want to reject them. Then one day, they don't feel that way anymore, they do bad things to you, they leave you. Are you gonna be okay with that? Is your ego gonna be okay with that?
First, you don't have to tolerate people if you think it takes too much energy to do so. You don't have to sacrifice your peacefullness and your standards only to do so.
Second, don't be with someone only because you think they can tolerate you. Try to be a fckn better person so you don't have to think that it's spectacular thing to be tolerated. Be responsible for every single choice you make and stand up for yourself and your choices. That way, the thing you're doing now won't turn against you in the future, you won't think it's a mistake and you owe someone who can accept that. No.
Have the 'take it or leave it' attitude. The 'I did that, so what?' attitude. Even if you think it was stupid and was a mistake, stand up for yourself. That was your choice. Being tolerated is not a wish, they take it or they leave it.
So, yeah. Everything starts with yourself. Take your time to be alone, learn from your mistakes.
