The Martyr
Always helping everyone around you.The archetype of the Martyr has its roots in sacrifice. Your powerfully logical mind helps you find the solutions to even the most difficult of problems and you make things happen.However, Martyrs usually make their sacrifice the focal point of every interaction in order to feel superior. They strongly believe that their sacrifice will get them the recognition they deeply desire. The energy of the Martyr is synonymous with a willingness to proceed because of a higher cause or truth despite the risk of injury or sacrifice.The shadow side of the Martyr uses self-induced suffering in order to manipulate and guilt others. Martyrs often try to do too much.Sometimes the Martyr has chosen a path that has left them bitter and resentful, and they want everyone to be punished for it.The Martyr can sometimes be rather delusional and believe that they are doing the right thing. This is so draining and at the expense of their own health and happiness. By sacrificing so much of their own lives, Martyrs tend to not cultivate independent projects and passions. Martyrs expect you to do the same for them.To add insult to injury, if Martyrs get the appreciation they so desire, they feel terribly uncomfortable and can’t truly accept it. They carry the weight of the world, but it’s self-induced, no one has asked or demanded they pick up the slack. The complaints multiply and they never feel true satisfaction in their deeds. The Martyr has a tendency towards a low case of self-esteem. They feel unworthy of happiness or fulfillment and will sabotage any strides made for the better. They give and give but it is never enough, and it is the only way they can feel special. Despite all this supposed sacrifice, they are particularly self-centered, feeling put out and stressed so much, relying on your praise and validation to build them up. The relationship that ensues is practically parasitic in its constant need for flattery. They tend to enjoy playing the victim and do not shy away from telling people about their sacrifice and suffering.The Matyr Archetype is draining and exhausting.Your big challenge?Self-esteemSelf-worthFeeling lovedKeep reading for your customized plan to help you use your Martyr strengths to raise the ceiling on your success in life.1) Your superpower is your originality and hard work.
