  I know I grumble, everyone I know does

  but we aren’t doing it for sympathy and none of us say poor me

  it’s a coping mechanism to grumble

  whereas a martyr is manipulating

  Is that right?

    Kind of.

    BIL is in hospital so the focus and sympathies are with him. She doesn’t want to miss out on anything so she becomes the Martyr. Look at me/us. Now feel sorry for me because my son is sick.

    I think it’s more out of boredom (even though martyrs are ALWAYS busy). The manipulation is just a bonus.

      so it’s opportunistic? It’s how she handles situations she is presented with.

      I think I’m starting to better understand how narcissistic think and behave

        Yeah. Narcissistic, manipulative, opportunistic people will always bring it back to themselves.
