Type Twos seek satisfaction by trying to help because deep down they
struggle believing that they are loved and wanted by the people in their
life apart from the support they oLer. In their attempt to ful@ll this
longing to be loved and appreciated apart from Christ, they can become
people pleasing and possessive, inserting themselves into the lives of
others and violating boundaries.
This overwhelming burden to care for everyone is damaging when they
begin to attend to others’ needs without adequately dealing with their
own. In their pride, they may believe they know what’s best and can take
care of everyone, while denying the care they themselves require.
Relationally, they may struggle when others feel crowded by their eLorts
to help. They may feel hurt and insecure when they aren’t needed and
double down on their eLorts to win people over, by "people-pleasing",
:attery, and looking for more ways to make people like them.
However, when their heart is aligned with the Gospel and they learn to
take their longings to Christ, Type Twos begin to tend to their own needs
knowing that they are wanted and love apart from what they can do for
others. From that place :ows a sel:ess generosity, encouragement, and
a redemptive kindness our world desperately needs.
