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.

gifts

  • supportive

    You are the original cheerleader, uplifting and supporting others to realize their potential.

  • sensitive

    Your innate ability of sensing how people are feeling allows you to anticipate their needs.

  • generous

    You are quick to volunteer your services and your generosity is valuable to those around you.

challenges

  • intrusive

    Eager to be indispensable to your loved ones, you offer unsolicited advice in an effort to help them.

  • manipulative

    Instead of asking for help, you inadvertently manipulate others to get your own needs met.

  • martyr-like

    You struggle to say "no" when requests are made of you, and can sacrifice yourself for others.

practices

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

  • Practice receiving (compliments, gifts, help) and realizing that what a gift that is to the giver

  • Maintain healthy boundaries by saying "no" (when it isn't a hell yes) in order to strengthen your relationship to yourself and others
