When it comes to family, friends, romantic partners and even work... I seem to find I give waaaay more than I ever seem to get.

I am always the one left hold the bag, or pushed away, sitting in the corner while everyone else is enjoying the fruits of what I put together.

I do it because I care, or because I want to do something bigger, greater, more than just myself. I want to benefit others too, but they are always the ones getting the benefit.

I always end up feeling used.

How do I find where to draw the line? When I feel shaky in a situation and start asking, I get "oh, you are just imagining things" or "everything is ok". Then it's not Long and there i am again, by myself... watching everyone else and been kicked out or pushed away.

Anyone else feel like this?
