Twos are in the heart-centered, feeling, or relationship Triad. Twos aren't particularly sensitive to their own feelings, but they constantly monitor what other people think of them and where they stand in relation to other people. Right out of the gate, they learned to gauge what their caretakers needed and then provided it in order to win love, attention, or a feeling of safety. Thus, they become both motivated by others' feelings and primarily focused on their relationship to others — as opposed to their inner self.

Since they are also an extroverted type within the feeling triad, they focus their sensitivity to feelings outward, becoming too reliant upon others to provide and validate their own image of themselves or to make them feel worthy of love. Eventually, they are so focused on fulfilling everyone else's needs that they lose touch with their own feelings. They also become dependent upon others to fulfill their unacknowledged needs and may use their ultra-sensitivity to what others are thinking and feeling to manipulate them.

Because they didn't feel seen, validated, mirrored, or cared for by their father figure, Twos feel compelled to make themselves lovable, worthy of admiration, and so essential to your well-being that you will never leave them. They may do this by making themselves indispensable and appearing as if they truly meant well — two qualities they think will solidify their esteem in your eyes. To feel comfortable in the outer world, they require constant attention and approval from others. Neurotic or pathological Twos breach emotional boundaries and are codependent in the truest sense of the word.

Twos can be the ultimate givers and the ultimate takers. When self-actualized, these people pleasers give love from their hearts in a truly unconditional way. When dysfunctional, they take whatever they can get in order to fill the vast holes in their souls created when they didn't feel loved or accepted by their parents.
