Enneagram Type 2, often called "The Helper," is characterized by a strong desire to support and care for others. They are empathetic, warm, and generous, often putting the needs of others before their own. This type seeks love and approval through acts of kindness and service, making them highly attuned to the emotions of those around them. However, Type 2s may struggle with setting boundaries and can become overly involved in others' lives. Their fear of being unwanted or unloved can lead to feelings of resentment if their efforts go unrecognized. Understanding this dynamic is essential for their personal growth and well-being.
