I don't like anyone taking advantage of me. I would immediately distance myself from that person. I will make sure only good people in my inner circle.

I have one of two reactions, sometimes used in combination. I'll either confront the person and politely ask them to stop or I will keep all communication to a minimum.

It is a good idea to reduce the communication.

It takes me a while to get out of a situation like this. It usually starts with me feeling sorry for someone and wanting to help them, then as time goes on l realise that it's all one way and the 'can you do me a favour' line is happening far too often. People who take advantage are persistent and hard to get rid of but you have to learn to say no.

The moment I feel that someone is using me, be it friends or family, I'll immediately dump that person, ignore and avoid him/her at all costs.

I myself hate being taken advantage of. It is really annoying and I always feel offended. To tell the truth, I don't like to unfriend people, but sometimes it is really necessary to do that. Well, I will try at first to discuss the problem with the respective person and if they don't like to listen to me I will have no choice but to unfriend them.

I would understand myself stupid for this. And rather then wasting time to justify things, I would just move on . And for the future, I would surely keep such things in my mind. Last but not the least , I would let them feel their mistake with my absence.
