2s- Has anyone been unable to overcome the "soul child" and seen themselves as 4?
...I'm very curious. I've had enormous issues with maturity and growth, and feeling stuck... and have strongly identified and been identified as 4... only to realize perhaps I simply haven't integrated myself well enough to accept the more mature, positive part of me that does want to care for others.
The Soul-Child of Enneatype Two (Point Four)
Behind the loving, giving and helpful outer facade of a Two lies a competitive, jealous and spiteful little Four-ish soul child. Twos try to present themselves as sweet and kind, self-sacrificing, humble, all of which can be seen as very much a reaction to the darker tendencies of their soul child. This is a little boy who wants to scream "I hate you!" to the other little boy who got the teacher or mommy's attention, pull his hair and tell him how awful he is and how stupid he is too. He is very observant about who gets how many cookies, tries to grab the most and the best and reacts with spite and venom if he does not get what he wants. He is filled with envy, believing the other kids have what he lacks and that they are better than he, cuter and more lovable. He can be bitchy and back biting, vindictive and huffy.
...Yep.
Any thoughts?
