Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': Someone suffering through their selflessness.
2* '''Straight''': Alice is a selfless girl who cares for others. She isn't treated nicely in return.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Alice has devoted her life to caring for others at her own expense, oftentimes to the point of near-starving herself due to spending everything on those in [[GreaterNeedThanMine Greater Need Than Her]]... yet all she gets from [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer fellow humans]] are laughs, sneering or ignorance.
4* '''Downplayed''': Most of the time Alice puts others first and doesn't do what she wants in order to help others but she spends the rest of the time on herself.
5* '''Justified''':
6** [[ThePollyanna Alice]] strongly believes that selflessness is rewarding despite [[TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity never getting as much as a 'thank you']].
7** Alternatively, Alice is a GoodSamaritan who couldn’t care less if the recipient appreciates her kindness or not.
8** Nobody likes nice, selfless people at all, for whatever reason.
9* '''Inverted''':
10** Everyone treats Alice nicely, but [[UngratefulBastard she treats them badly in return]].
11** Alice is a selfish girl who cares for only herself. She isn't treated nicely in return.
12** Alice is a [[AllLovingHero selfless girl]] who cares for others. [[LikeAGodToMe She is treated like an Idol in return.]]
13* '''Subverted''':
14** Alice has [[SecretlySelfish a few selfish moments]].
15** One of them did treat Alice nicely in return.
16* '''Double Subverted''':
17** ...Which are making her loved ones happy.
18** But it was all a trick [[TheFarmerAndTheViper to back-stab her later]].
19* '''Parodied''': Alice cared for an ObviouslyEvil AlphaBitch.
20* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
21* '''Averted''': Alice is a selfless girl who cares for others. She was treated the same in return had she not cared for others anyway.
22* '''Enforced''': The writer (usually TheCynic, or at least a proud owner of a nice pair of JadeColoredGlasses) wants to point out that LifeIsntFair and [[BeingGoodSucks kindness]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished does not]] [[DudeWheresMyRespect get rewarded]] as the media usually portray.
23* '''Lampshaded''': "[[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids Get real, Alice.]] No one respects a doormat who is kind and sweet and never strikes back. No one."
24* '''Invoked''': Alice was raised by her family to be that kind of ProperLady.
25* '''Exploited''': TheCorrupter tries to lure Alice into TheDarkSide through pushing her to a MistreatmentInducedBetrayal.
26* '''Defied''': Anyone mistreating Alice will soon be facing her boyfriend Bob, who will scar the bastard (or [[WouldHitAGirl the bitch]]) into not bullying Alice again.
27* '''Discussed''': ???
28* '''Conversed''': ???
