Enneagram Type 2

Motto: “I'm here to help.”

At your core, what moves you is the wish to feel loved and the fear of not being wanted simply for who you are. Early on you learned that love must be earned, that acknowledging your own needs would be selfish, and that putting others first was the path to acceptance. Because of this you built a fine-tuned antenna for other people's feelings and a real generosity, yet you risk helping while quietly expecting something in return and believing in a wholly selfless self-image that hides unadmitted needs. Your growth begins when you realize no amount of sacrifice will quiet that restlessness of the heart, and you start giving yourself the same care you pour out to everyone else. By caring for yourself, honoring boundaries, and accepting your own feelings, you become free to love without demands and discover that love is not a currency to be won but something already woven into your nature.
