Hey being understanding has its downside. I mean, if other people aren't going to make the same concessions that you do, then you're bound to end up on the bottom of the pile. I don't think you're depressed, and I don't think dems th' breaks, because I'm the same way. All it takes is a careful moderation of your own interests versus the interests of others. You don't have to be a pushover to be fair, you know! Keep doing the right thing and you can only hope to get just deserts. If you don't, then either cut it out with the doing the right thing and all, or learn to gain a sense of satisfaction from the fact that you do the right thing even if it doesn't always work out for you.
Anyway, there's a lot I don't like about myself, but I tend to weigh it against the things I do enjoy about my life. Sometimes it seems overwhelmingly weighed on the "don't like" pile, but I just kinda get through it with a poetic state of mind (and whatever I mean by that is bound to be different for everyone) and keep pushing through. Keep up trying to be understanding and fair, just don't let yourself make a habit out of letting yourself get cast off for no other excuse than being understanding about other people's needs.

I always try to find the good in everyone and put other people's poor behaviour down to something else that has gone on or is going on in their life. Sometimes I wish I could just dismiss a person as simply being bad but I can't. It's hard trying to analyse everyone all the time though.

Rather than think you are understanding, think that you are tolerant of others & respect them for their beliefs or behaviour. I wish more people were tolerant & didn't feel that they had to tell others how to behave. So good for you; you are probably a very nice person to know.

Sounds like you could use assertiveness training. Honestly. Many women benefit from learning some skills at negotiating your presence in the world around you. Look into it. As for me, I am a little too amorous for my own good. A cold shower might help. :)

WHAT: Lack of ability to handle hostility, and/or covert hostility.
WHY: Because it drops you into being an effect, and then it is very hard to be who you really are if you're sitting in an effect created by another.

being understanding is a good thing so long as you can say no to other people if their demands are detrimental to you. personally i am trying to be more assertive in this very area.

I'm too trusting. I don't like it because sometimes I feel people take advantage of that aspect of my personality.
