I see that having trouble saying "No" to being used is not a problem unique to my life. (Not that I ever thought it was.)
Among the people I like and, in some cases, even love, there are some who are prone to wanting to "use" me. Since some of these are persons whom I really do love, I don't see an easy solution in just avoiding them. Well, now that I think of it . . . . . I am avoiding some of them to a degree. I mean to say that it can be hard to know and care for people who I do want to have in my life, but who tend to put me in the position of having to say "No" on a frequent basis. I guess it's just a skill I'm going to have to work on. I think doing that would be a way for me to have more respect for myself. I think that might be something I need to have more of. I'm trying to come out of depression and I made some progress. I really need to make more.
