Martyr: A person who willingly suffers greatly as an act of desiring to be a victim for the sake of principal.

---------

I don't think that virgos are that naive on emotional fronts. It's all about me, me and me when it comes to emotions for virgos. i.e. Most virgos are incapable of showing/giving love until taught. I do not know where do "pricipals" come in picture!

They are materialistic people, often their involvement geneally has to do with,
sex,money,status, intellect and NOT love.

May be martyr means sacrificing love/emotions to achieve every thing else but intimacy in a personal relationship!

Actually, I can think of things that my husband does that would fall under this category, such as .. he will go all day without eating, eventhough he's starving hungry and I would ask him .. why? He would say because he has to work to earn a living. And I would ask, what does that have to do with denying yourself food if you're hungry. He would say, "Because I can't spare a single second, I can wait. I'm ok", eventhough his stomach is grumbling in protest.
I just shake my head and walk away.

Or, when we down to see our new granddaughter, he spent all his time working, fixing this, fixing that, eventhough there is a maintainence man at the complex who had been contacted and the work was scheduled .. my Virgo tirelessly did a duty that he wasn't asked to do .. then on the way home, he moaned about how he couldn't spend time with the baby because he HAD to work.
I just kept driving, silently and let him suffer within his own self-inflicted torment.

the word martyr has many definitions 😛. and i'm pretty sure this is how dyrstr8z meant it:

One who makes a great show of suffering in order to arouse sympathy.

(in the sense of a "martyr complex")

"Have you been sacrificing yourself on the altar of someone else's desire? Do you carry others' burdens? Take an irrational pleasure in magnifying every act for loved ones in the hope that they will heap appreciation upon you?

Do you go about with a pained expression that says: "Look at me! I am killing myself to bring others happiness"?"

get it? and yes, if you read descriptions of the "dark side" of the virgoan personality, it is a common trait mentioned.
