Just an FYI this is an old thread, and it's okay to start a new one, if it's general, about HPD and respectful of those with HPD. That written...

I thought she cared too much for others and decided to endure pain for herself to make them happy, but it might be that she does not actually genuinely care about those "others," but instead enjoys being the saint in this tragic story.
I think this is fair to question, and others have as well. Our human perception of tragedy avoidance is not as simple as we all want to avoid crisis, strife, drama, etc. Some people do seem to seek drama, and when we seek something, odds are we are getting something out of it. We might not like the consequences in all cases, but there is some draw too, some perceived or hoped for benefit.
A good example is 'martyrism' - there is something the person gets out of being a martyr.
