Enneagram Type 2s Explained - A Complete Guide 

Thanks for watching y'all! And please remember to hit that subscribe button if you haven't already 🙌🙏❤

This is some of the most succinct, effective, informative treatment of the enneagram types that I've seen! BRAVO! So glad to have found your content!

Hey, I think I probably am a type 2. Thanks for your video. But I feel unhappy with this realization. Having my self worth determined - wanting to feel wanted and seen as worthy - by other people is not something I would want. But it does seem to be part of my nature. I know this is not a full science but it did resonate very much with me. Such as a subtle sense of pride, inability to ask for help, exploding with resentment when feeling unappreciated. In stories/games I always love 'selfish'/anti-hero characters. Characters that strive mainly for themselves or their greater goal. Which seems like the reverse of the type 2.

Social Two here! I can't believe how long I suppressed my own individual opinions and needs, since I subconsciously believed I would become everyone's favorite person by sacrificing that. Ever since I learned how important it was to value my opinions, I could tolerate other peoples' contrary takes so much better. To cast away my pride for humility was the best thing to ever happen to me!

Any type 2's reading this I love you all and hope you are surrounded by people who love and want the best for you (not those who abuse it!). You shouldn't have to earn love, you are enough. You give so much and you deserve to have people who appreciate you and want to give the same in return❤- 9w1 P.S. Amazed at your ability to explain things clearly so we can understand and suppport other ennergram types. I can't believe you do not have WAY more views and subscribers. You must work so hard with the quality of your videos (from camera work to pacing to structure...) and you should be proud of yourself. Wish I could word this better (hopefully you get what I am trying to say 😅) but you're so underrated!

Omg! My mom was more of the “stereotypical masculine” one & my dad was more supportive “stereotypically nurturing” & I did spend a lot of my life trying to take on that role to support my mom because she started taking care of her siblings. I always felt like they came first & I never felt appreciated by my mom.

Where has this enneagram channel been this whole time??? These are the best videos on the ennegram that I've ever seen

It's crazy to have someone explain the deep fascitis of my thoughts process without ever meeting me.

I love this kind of people, they always make you feel better. So hard to imagine them in stress with worst qualities of 8s..

Came here at LocalScriptMan’s recommendation. Really great breakdown and video. I was just looking for some insight into writing but this is just really interesting.

I'm a sexual 2w1 and yes I want intimacy on all levels with all my closest friends and partner. I feel calmer being in 1:1 settings. Just a note for any of you who resonate with this video in the sexual pleasure department... that can def change through daily self-love practices. And for health, I really recommend journaling your daily needs and feelings and then have partner check-ins (at least twice a month) to express your needs in compassionate ways.

I just started learning about Enneagram but after this video I already understand so much. I’m pretty sure I’m a self-preservation 2w3. You structured and explained everything so logically and precisely. Thank you so much for the video

This is on incredibly insightful. My psychologist asked me to take this test and helper was my result. I’ve done many personality tests but this one is by far the one that hits deepest. I resonated with every single thing you said. It was like looking at a mirror. Thank you

Wow, could not imagine a 4 / 2 mistype!

this describes my mom :( it all makes sense. i’m a 4 so i never understood her because i was too focused on self pity but now it makes sense. she’s not perfect but she always tried to do the right thing for love.

Really helpful! Thank you!

WOW! You're an amazing presenter, top notch video! Thank you, some of these descriptions had me LOL since this is my type.

Oh man, played the nurturing figure to attract ones protective figure!!

So helpful and informative and insightful! Thanks!

Great video! I'm a 2 wing 1.Thank you for sharing!

I'm an INFJ enneagram 2w1 sp instinctual type. I thought that I was an enneagram 9, 4, 6, 7, 5, 1 and pick up on those traits especially dealing with stress, surviving childhood abuse, bullying, poverty, neglect, betrayal, and abandonment. I'm in therapy now trying to process and heal from severe trauma. My mother was severely mentally ill and had a personality disorder. All I ever wanted was to be born into a loving and stable home and to have unconditional love, nuturing, kindness, and acceptance.

In my unhealth i discovered that I'm a 2. My motive is often to be loved , appreciated and so on . Rock bottom sucks if it stucks

great lesson and a game changer! thank you from 2!

This is all facts! 💯

This was is fun and sad and interesting all at the same time! ❤ def need to work on that self care stuff 😢

GOD DAMN i'm unsure if i'm 2, 4, 6 or 9 and the introduction part has blowed my mind

I wish I had heard about this a long time ago.

Super helpful❤

Wow-this was so on point and helpful to this 2w3 thank you ❤

Awesome video, thank you! You really do a great job highlighting the positive aspects of the 2 type, which I feel is so rare since most things I encounter tend to focus on unhealthy 2 traits. (FYI if the plane is crashing the oxygen mask won't do very much)

This is one of the best-explained videos for type 2. I'm not sure if I'm a 2w3 or 2w1 (but I guess I'm 2w3)

Thank you!!!!!

Genius.

I feel so called out right now 😅...

Yes! I think Ted Lasso is a 2 (like me) as well! I’d seen some sources claim he’s a 7, but that didn’t make sense to me.

Wow, clarity and detail Do you offer coaching services?

Hi!! I love the 5 videos that I have watched so far!! You are extremely engaging and very easy to listen to and understand! I hate to leave something here that sounds like criticism (especially since you are a 1😅). My own personal disclaimer is that I have literally only read the subtype for the sp 2, I have no idea what the other two look like on a deeper level. I also understand that you are packing A TON of useful information into a pretty short span of time and obviously cannot cover the entirety of the subtype. So, disclaimer(s?) aside, I am 99% positive that I am a sp 2 and I did not resonate with almost any of what you said. I thought sp 2s main "thing" was a child-like nature that they present to the world to get their needs met. They do not like to ask for help, so this child-like appearance makes people want to go out of their way to help them because people love helping children. It's another cringy-2-charming-thing. Also, because of the charming nature of their personalities, I thought all 3 of the subtypes would go out of their way to appear physically appealing as well. Not trying to be critical! Just wanted to share my thoughts and am curious to hear yours when/if you get time😊 These videos really are great and I appreciate you making them! I am being a slightly unhealthy 2 and have been "typing" my closest friends/family and then messaging their coordinating videos to them 😂😂 Don't worry, I am also telling them to ignore my opinion and look into the other videos to get a better scope of what they think they are (even though I am almost positive that I am right 😇). Sorry for rambling, thanks again! Looking forward to watching the rest of your content!!

Can you elaborate on your choice for the donkey as a spirit animal? I’m confused, and rather curious.

My mom is definitely a 2w3

Awesome stuff! thanks for taking the time! I would argue that mother Teresa is an 8 and Ted Lasso is clearly a 9) Roar and Hertz (you knew her both claim to this) Ted lasso is always having physical issues that do seem similar to what you said about twos, yet are different in that they are based more on panic than lack of care. But again the way he makes biscuits, and is always so focused on individuals and into jargons makes me want to agree with you. But none of this really matters in the long run)) and if you read this you'll probably have already guessed my enneagram haha cheers!

Well the thing is i was pampered my whole childhood and was the golden child(but i still had to work for it) so my childhood sounds like enneagram 3's childhood but at the same sp2 fits me like a glove im really confused

information if you are enneagram 2- i love yall

I thought I know it all I watch dr lahoue on RU-vid he taught me lots but you have too! Im close to two 2s one seems to have all instincts and one seems to have sexual and social they both are know to be liars by others that no one trusts what they say has anyone else noticed that about other 2s?

I suspect I'm a 5, my dad is 1, and my mother is 2. Guess the dynamics.

Dude I don't think any Spiderman's a type two, Peter Parker anyway, and did you add donkey just to throw shade at the two's? 👀

I feel like a lot of "nice guys" are probably 2s

Why is a type 6 disintegration a type 3 and integration a type 9 but type 2 disintegration is an 8, and integration a 4? This seems so convoluted. Why does a one move down the enneagram for disintegration while one moves UP. it seems like a whole lot to memorize.

Why do you think Spider-Man is a 2?

Aka Henry Cavill.

this is so fkn scary is this real?
