I'm having trouble understanding the meaning of 誰だって within different
contexts;

> 誰だって楽な生活をしたい。 Everybody wants to live in comfort.
>
> 誰だって 自尊心を 傷つけられるのは 嫌だ。 Nobody wants his sense of worth to be damaged.

As such within these sentences 誰だって means either no one or anyone. What is
changing the meaning in the sentence?

How to know what 誰だって means in different contexts?
誰だって means "anyone" or "everyone" (or sometimes "whoever"). The literal
translations would be:

> 誰だって楽な生活をしたい。  
>  Everyone wants to have an easy life.
>
> 誰だって自尊心を傷つけられるのは嫌だ。  
>  Everyone hates to have their pride damaged.

The latter sentence might sound more natural in English if you rephrased it
like "No one wants to have ...", but that has nothing to do with how the
original Japanese sentence is constructed.
