Being an elderly kid and a person naturally with empathy never helps.
Either you were that way naturally or shaped into it. The second one seems like society's fault or the upbringing environment. But when you were naturally like that, who to blame? Let me cite a few traits, like understanding, being good according to society, being empathetic, not sympathetic, and being non-inquisitive.
You let go of a few things, either willingly or unwillingly, but the majority of the time, it was you. You yourself. Nobody asked you to be like that, and that habit costs your present self, has affected your past, and will affect the future, too.
Being good never really does too good for you. And karma, nowadays, nobody thinks about at least doing good to you, let alone doing good things for you.
So in the end, the source of your miseries somehow roots deep down to the traits mentioned above.
For instance, you desire something you understand now; it's not possible; the market is far away or parents are busy. You will get it, but not now. Understanding. This little understanding helped in that situation, but in the future, the situation might not be in your favor, and it might affect you adversely. Still, you'll understand.
If you desired something in the past and the other person denied it, you might think, "Oh, they always provide for me, but this time they didn't." Maybe it was meant to be. But next time, the same demand, even more intensified, was fulfilled to others.
Maybe if you had insisted and been a bit determined, and persistent, you would have enjoyed that luxury.
The point is being too understanding of little things in the past might escalate in the future, and one might not know when to draw exact boundaries and stop understanding everything. Being kind, empathetic, nice, and understanding will eventually hurt. Not everyone has a reason to do certain things differently. It's just they don't want to. Stop seeing just the roses and ignore the thorns. Life is a garden; appreciate the petals but do acknowledge the thorns. Acknowledging helps to avoid them and makes it easier to tackle.
Being optimistic is good but not naive.
