Enneagram Two Observations
Some observations about Enneagram Twos from an Enneagram Coach
Here are some things I’ve noticed about Enneagram Twos that really don’t have enough text (or importance) to make a post or fill a book, but are interesting to us Enneagram nerds nonetheless.
If you are an Enneagram Two or love an Enneagram Two I’d love to hear from you in the comments? How do these observations resonate?
Twos have an innate sense of what makes others feel at ease, this isn’t something that can be bottled up or taught they’re truly born with it.
Enneagram Two seems very uncomfortable to discover areas where they need to vocalize their needs in order to have their needs be met.
Enneagram Two tends to turn their profession and hobbies into things that help other people.
Enneagram Two almost seems relieved (maybe sometimes excited?) about having “obvious” times of need (a new baby, a surgery, a death in the family…etc)
Enneagram Twos feel very at home in nurturing/caretaking whether that be with animals, children, the elderly or disabled..etc is very individual to each Two.
Enneagram Two is very aware of their “angry side”
Enneagram Two seems to have a gift of making you feel listened to, and cared about, which can make them forgetting something you said (that feels big to you) hurtful.
To some extent Enneagram Twos intentions are always to give love or be loved.
Enneagram Twos are natural compliment givers.
Enneagram Two seems to put a lot of energy into pushing down the parts of themselves they deem as unlovable.
Twos love to be seem as the responsible one, it gives them a lot of opportunity to be the one giving advice or being helpful.
Twos have a hard time separating what they feel from what is true. (I.e Feeling unloved does not always mean you’re unloved by someone, they may just not know how to love you here.)
