type two
the giver
worldview
Relationships are very important to me and I enjoy helping people. It’s easy for me to sense how someone is feeling, I almost instinctively know what they need and how to take care of them. It’s harder for me to know and ask for what I need. I find it difficult to receive from others, without giving them something in return. I like to give advice, and can sometimes offer it unsolicitedly. Boundaries are tricky for me. I don’t like feeling unappreciated, neglected or rejected.

practices
Tune into your own needs and be honest with yourself about how you feel
