What this archetype looks like

Your dominant toxic pattern is the Martyr. It's the shadow side of generosity: you give past your limits without saying so, then expect people to notice and reciprocate. When they don't, you're hurt — and your sacrifices become evidence in future arguments. What helps is asking for what you need before you give what you don't have.
