Does Martyrdom and Control freakery go hand in hand?

Can you be a martyr without also being a control freak?





And how do you handle someone who is like this?Does Martyrdom and Control freakery go hand in hand?
the two are not related at all. martyrs are willing to suffer for the sake of everyone else... they give them self up as sacrifice. a control freak wouldn't do that at all. so they are not remotely connected. i have never met anyone who was both of these things.





ADDED what you are referring to with your mum is being passively aggressive and manipulative, not martyrdom.Does Martyrdom and Control freakery go hand in hand?
i think they absolutely go hand in hand.


i don't see how it's possible to be a martyr and not be a control freak, although i'm sure there are exceptions.


i handle controls freaks by ignoring them. it really irks them.
