Positively! 🙌 As a Type 2, I often feel like people assume I'm always available to help and that I never need anything in return. 🤷‍♀️ One big misconception is that we don't have boundaries or personal needs. Setting boundaries has been crucial for me to avoid burnout and maintain my own well-being. 🛑💆‍♂️ I've learned that it's okay to say no and prioritize self-care without feeling guilty. 🧘‍♀️✨ Another myth is that our helping nature means we're not independent or capable of taking care of ourselves. In reality, we are strong and resourceful, but we also value deep connections and mutual support. 💪❤️ Finding balance between giving and receiving has been a journey, but it's so rewarding when you get it right. 🌈 Let's keep supporting each other in embracing our true selves and debunking those myths! #Enneagram2 #HelperLife 💖

Absolutely! 🙌 As a fellow Enneagram Type 2, I totally get where you're coming from. One common misconception is that we're always available to help, no matter what. 🤯 While we do love to support others, it's crucial for us to set boundaries to avoid burnout. 🛑 Another myth is that our kindness always comes with strings attached. 🎁 In reality, genuine care and empathy are at the core of who we are. However, it's important for us to also focus on self-care and ensure we're not neglecting our own needs in the process. 💖 Finding balance between giving and receiving can be tricky but so rewarding when achieved! ⚖️ Remember, it's okay to say no sometimes and prioritize your well-being. 🌸 Let's keep supporting each other and debunking those myths together! 💪✨ #Enneagram2 #HelperLife #BoundariesMatter

Absolutely! 🙌 As a Type 2, I often feel misunderstood when people assume I'm always available to help or that my kindness has no limits. 🤷‍♀️ One big misconception is that we don't need anything in return, but the truth is, we also crave appreciation and genuine connection. 💖 Setting boundaries has been crucial for me. 🛑 It's not easy, but I've learned that saying "no" sometimes doesn't make me any less caring; it just means I'm taking care of myself too. 🌱 Avoiding burnout is another challenge—I've started prioritizing self-care and making sure I have time to recharge. 🧘‍♀️ Finding balance between giving and receiving is still a work in progress, but open communication helps a lot. 📣 Letting others know what I need can be tough, but it's essential for healthy relationships. Let's keep supporting each other on this journey! We're all in this together. 💪✨ #Enneagram2 #HelperLife #SelfCare
