If you are a natural giver and caretaker (empathic person) how do you balance "being yourself" and not allowing people to take advantage of you?

That's a really hard balancing act, you have to set boundaries even when it makes you feel bad or guilty for doing so because if you don't people will take advantage of your empathy. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me I was too nice I'd be rich right now and sometimes I've been too nice to the wrong people :(
