I think this quote is referring to my job. I'm a hard worker and dedicated, and I keep getting all of the responsibilities and extra work but I don't get paid one cent more than the sloths who just have to sit in a chair and watch this or that.

Same here. Sometimes it seems as though initiative and enthusiasm for one's line of work is rewarded with nothing more than more work and responsibility.
I had this experience at my current worksite. Because I was newly transferred here, I took it upon myself to carry out many tasks simply so I could understand how procedures and standard operating practices are conducted at this site. After several months I noticed that the manager and another fellow supervisor habitually "passed the buck" in my direction. This continued until I spoke up.
One day, the manager and I were speaking about a certain task that needed to be carried out. Before he assigned me with the task, I reminded him that I was currently working on several projects and that this one could be better carried out by one of the other shift supervisors. Around that same time, a fellow supervisor left me a note requesting that I place an order for him. I went to him personally and informed him that given our equal status he could make the purchase himself. He then admitted that he did not know how to place the order. I called the manager and informed him that my cohort needed training. End of story!
Sadly, I still find it hard to be less than giving, especially when it comes to significant others.
I think it depends. With some people, the more you give, the more they take, with no regard to giving back. That speaks of their character, not yours. With others, if you are giving, with a hidden motive or expectation, you will almost always be disappointed, because that speaks to your character.
I used to be a giver and got taken advantage of. Now I don't give as much, but I also know of myself that, in the past, it may have been a way to gain acceptance/approval. Now, if I do something nice for someone, it's because I wanted to, and for no other reason.
This has been my experience too. I'm a giver and I don't expect anything in return other than for the other person to be happy with what I gave. I haven't even been getting that so that's why I quit on dating.
