SO2s want to be indispensable to the social group(s) they're a part of. They're drawn to leadership positions and desire to climb the social ladder, wanting to be the most important person to everybody in their community. They often weren't valued as children and thus seek a social position where they'll be recognized and applauded. Their pride takes the form of ambition and the seduction of social groups. They don't just want to rule said groups, but they want others to rely on them and see them as essential. They want to be a person of reference and are extremely opportunistic and strategic. They're the most cold and intellectual of the E2 subtypes, using their mind to rise to the top of the social sphere.

SX2s want to be desired romantically and their pride manifests in being irresistible to others. They desire a stable, loving bond with somebody more than anything and to achieve this they indulge and flatter their romantic interest. They often take pride in the amount of romantic conquests they've made. They draw people in through charm and generosity. They're extremely impulsive and histrionic, which can pave the way for turbulent relationships. They believe their worth is dictated by how desired they are by others.

SP2s fear not being cared for, so to secure love and care they use childlike charm to seduce others into taking care of them. Their seduction is more innocent and sweet than it is in the other E2 subtypes. They care for and dote on others, hoping that this will lead to them being cared for and doted on in return. They have an often unconscious belief that they're the most important thing and thus wish for others to cater to them. They fear growing up and thus their give to get strategy largely revolves around ensuring that they won't have to show up in the world and take care of themselves.

So for the sake of completing this series, how are enneagram 2's assholes? (Also out of curiosity do you think you'd ever make a 'How the Enneagrams are Assholes' masterpost out of these asks? It's all right if not, I'm just curious about it)

I'm too lazy to do it, but maybe co-mod Rosa will. ;)

Oh boy. *rubs hands together* Hang onto your hats.

2s: intentionally creating codependencies (over-doing for others, assuming they can't do it for themselves, thus ensuring that they always need the 2 and are worthless to others*); controlling behavior (while smiling and saying "I'm only thinking of you / I am just trying to help!" -> forcing people to take what is given instead of respecting their No); martyr-behavior (over-extending oneself, being resentful of it, and then whining about how they're under-appreciated); assuming everyone else is incompetent (thus, I have to do everything for them); and doing this all under the guise of "I am a good person with no wish to be thanked," while desperately wanting/needing to be thanked.

* Example: a mother who does everything for her son, so that he grows up a lazy slob who does nothing for himself and an unappealing man to any future partners, thus ensuring she will forever have her hooks in him; when he does hook up with someone, she micro-manages and interferes and verbally disapproves of his partner, while looking for ways to outdo them -- e.g. "She will never care for you as well as I did."

Harmony Triads, by The Narrative Enneagram.

The Enneagram symbol as we typically see it is often called the “Process Enneagram” and leaves four types without a connection to one of the centers of intelligence (Types 2, 4, 5, 7). Configuring the connecting lines to create three triangles is what we call the "Enneagram of Harmony." This creates a 3-6-9 triangle, an 8-5-2 triangle, and a 1-4-7 triangle. Helen Palmer believed that when we are on a spiritual journey or awakening to who we are beyond type, we may notice these connections over what we are usually aware of through the Process Enneagram.

With the Enneagram of Harmony, every type has a seat in each of the centers of intelligence, which we can use intentionally to cultivate three-centered awareness. It may also activate an experience of greater flow between the centers. No matter what your type, one of the supports for our growth is to experience ourselves as three-centered beings.
