As an enneagram type two I am a Helper. I thrive on giving people a hand, providing comfort and nourishment with food or conversation, helping you out of a jam, discerning an important decision. I’ll listen empathetically and offer support or advice. Your choice! I want to build our connectedness. I’ll give you love and... The post Help appeared first on Thirty Seconds or Less.
