This song is for the personality trait of a” giver” which means that you give all you have to make someone else happy even if you’re miserable so this isn’t really a love song

[@Sonicbutslow]

It's more of a struggle for finding self love and the struggles of a Two

[@kun8170]

it's as if you give everything and think it is fine to not get something back in return. to build up so much stress that you don't even know how to love yourself anymore. where you just get lost and you wouldnt mind as long as another person is happy. it hurts, everybody knows that, because we're all two's.

[@robyn9315]

It is a love song. Its a love song about a person with a type 2s personality doing whatever it takes to make their partner feel loved and safe and not sad or stressed.

[@jaydine6336]

@@harliemacdougall466 it's not really a love song though. it's about loving everyone, and caring about everyone, so much so its self destructive. like you want to do everything in your power to help people, and you forget to help yourself along the way. i like your perspective though, and maybe your in love with someone but I really dont have anyone so I dont really consider this a love song between 2 people. I considerate more a love song for everyone.

[@isagroot1321]

I think it can have more perspectives, I see it as not giving too much love to yourself bc you are busy with pleasing the rest

[@xxayeitsme-ashleyxx3731]

I got a two, and in my perspective I see at as 2s would do any to make their partner/friends, anyone they have a good connection with feel pleased happy anything that would give them a smile in their face. 2s would risk their own lives just to save another’s just to make them happy or feel alive. 2s are too nice they care people too much that they forget to take care of them selves that they would have the fear of losing control of their emotions. I’m a two I can certainly agree with this song and comments I really do care about people in my life they are them who make it keep going and they know them selves I’m thank full:)

What test?

[@maryv5815]

I think when most people first hear this song, they don’t initially position themselves as the singer. At first you kind of imagine that you are the one being sung to, especially with first lyric being a direct question. I think this is very intentional. I think it represents how “twos” want to be to others what they wish others were to them. They give to others what they never received themselves. And I think that’s pretty beautiful, but also a bit sad.

[@musicallands7385]

Agreed it is very beautiful and sad at the same time and it hurts twos when what they give to others is not reciprocated back to them. But yet they continue loving others anyway.

[@user-tatibaby]

yes yes yes!!!!

[@alynfrancis]

:'(

[@abbiewhite7987]

Just listened to the podcast that the artist has about the creation of this song (highly recommend btw-very very informative and fascinating!) But the song is meant as both how the twos give to others and as a love song back to twos as a reminder that they need to take care of themselves

[@youreverydayace9768]

I actually did think this at first, as a two myself. It made me cry first time I listened to it.

[@sunnyc.612]

[@raiukii]

"It's okay if you can't catch your breath - you can take the oxygen straight out of my chest" That's the sweetest line I've heard in a long time. This song, I swear. It really makes my heart go soft.

[@mariee_e]

Eunice I feel like that line sounds sweet on the surface, but it’s actually talking about the person self sacrificing, for the other person to be okay, even if it comes at the expense of the other person’s oxygen, at the expense of that person not having enough for himself. which isn’t sweet or healthy. I interpreted this line as something maybe a not so healthy two might say, just because it’s something I absolutely believed in 100% before I realized it was actually damaging to put other people’s needs above your own.

[@raiukii]

@@mariee_e That's actually a pretty good interpretation. That makes perfect sense as well. We all have our own way of interpreting and understanding things anyways, and I'm happy to hear different perspectives on this song :)

Ugh sammee, agreee!

Eunice Yes!! :) ❤️❤️❤️

[@whiskeyeyedfool]

The saddest parts of this song aren't the lyrics or the melody, it's the fact that I thought this was what love was. I thought love existed in self-destruction, in sacrifice without anything in return. I thought love was "no, I don't wanna talk about myself, tell me where it hurts" I thought it was "I just wanna build you up, build you up, 'til you're good as new and maybe one day I'll get around to fixing my self, too". This isn't love, it never was and that's the saddest part.

[@nitsuji6705]

Some see a love song, I see a plea for help. I relate to the lyrics. Being so broken and unable to love yourself so you desperately build others up in hope of some sort of reciprocation happening. The part where the singer refuses to talk about himself hints at this disconnection happening inside him due to years of devoting everything unto others except himself. I am in love.

[@theonlybingledingle]

Well, that's the beautiful thing about songs like these. Some see a loving, devoted partner wanting to do everything to make sure their partner is happy. No matter what. Whereas some people see someone tearing themselves up to make someone shine brighter. I understand both and see both. This song is immaculate.

[@phauxdy]

I don't think we understand just how intensely unique the emotion of love is. To have such an unwavering attraction to another individual aside from yourself because they simply are them, is powerful. It's an honor to encounter this intense experience like no other. To think some deny this emotions existence, that it's a construct of society and economy.. No. It has been deep within human capacity since we reached this level of intelligence. And type twos just know how love works.

[@bellyfulochelly4222]

[@francescadilorenzo1530]

Hey! As a type 2 in a healthy relationship, my advice is to go slow. Get to know the other person slowly, give yourself the time to think about the way you feel towards your potential partner. You can tell them straight up that you have a tendency to care for others and to put them before you and your well being. When you'll open up slowly to them, they'll be aware of the reason why you are doing that. Hopefully they'll respect your way of thinking. That will show honesty, transparency and emotional maturity on your part and respect on theirs. I think it's a blessing to be a type 2 because we have so much love to give to everybody, even to ourselves. We just need to find balance between the rest of the world and us, and learn that it's okay to be loved and allow other people to help us love ourselves. Be hopeful.

[@niayx3838]

this is everything i couldn’t put in words

[@vania7462]

My advice, get to know yourself first, try to love yourself more... it ain’t easy... it took me 9 years.... i don’t want to get myself in relationship with a mindset I don’t need to be loved as much as i do for him...but after all those years you spent loving yourself, your true self is still there, and sometimes you love other people more than they do, and it hurts you, but as long as you remember that you need to be loved too, you will speak up to him/her, and the right person will give you all the love you need. Good luck to you my friend

My lovely type two, You tend to love people like nobody else does. You really live to help us connect with our hearts. You are nurturing, emotionally inteligent and seriously, you are the embrace of all that is good in us. You understand people better than people understand themselves, you are empathetic, generous and supportive. You totally give yourself to your inner work, you minimise your needs and you give yourself away. I know it is devastating for you to acknowledge that you have needs but it is totally OK to admit that you crave love. It is time you realise that people around you appreciate and love you even though you do not. You need to understand that you have to love yourself as much as you love the others. You are one of a kind, gorgeous, sweet, enough and worthy for all the love in the world. I know it hurts when people take you for granted and that you fear rejection more than anything. It is totally OK to say no sometimes even though your heart is so big and forgiving that you would be willing to give people endless chances. You are not weak for loving the others, your love is a superpower that not many people know how to handle. Your key word is love, the superpower to handle love at its best. Use it to change the world! Yours sincerely, type two friend UPDATE: I am on instagram @tirucatalina for anyone who wants someone to talk to.

I decided to create a discord server that's open for anyone here, and is just for people to get help from each other or to talk. I don't want to pressure anyone into joining, nor do I know how it will turn out in practice, it seemed like a good idea in my mind, so I decided to do it.

I definitely don't see this as a love song. As a 2, I hear this song for what it is; a desperate cry to be loved in the same way the singer loves other people. In most of my relationships, I'm the "helper". The "oh you're so great to talk to" the "you're such a good listener" and "wow, you're really good at giving advice". I've never really felt like I COULD open up to other people and feel needy. It's more a feeling of "as long as everyone else is happy and loved and healthy, that's what matters" but deep down you have this intrinsic need to just be wanted. No, this isn't a love song.

I know it’s supposed to be about people with the personality type 2, but this song feels comforting. It feels like someone actually cares about you. I keep coming back to this song and I cry every time. It’s sad because they (perspective of the singer) sound so selfless and I want to be there for them too.

I think it’s comforting for a reason, type 2’s lean to be like that supposedly- when I listened to the song (I’m a 2) I really felt like the words were something I’d say and I agree with the other comment that it makes us feel appreciated that you are comforted by something we relate so heavily to in the way we try to be :)) much love

[@MaybeLily1234]

Just speaking from my perspective as a Christian this is how I feel like Jesus is like

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

I think that’s part of the message. Because in the end it’s what Type 2s want for the people they love. They want nothing more than to see their loved ones happy, content, safe, and cared for. Even if the 2’s own life feels like its shearing apart, seeing their “people” happy and safe is a form of catharsis.

[@katsan9155]

But the truth is type 2s only love and don’t accept love in return because we know that we’d only feel disappointed when the other person cant return the love equally so we are fine with just giving it when they need it. Even if we yearn for it, the least painful and disappointing route has always been to just give without expectations.

[@_lostjams_5192]

Listening to the first verse, I thought this was a song that was meant to comfort type 2s like us and make us feel loved, and I bawled bc I was like this is exactly how I want someone to treat me. Then the comments made me realize that this is me, this is how I act towards others. It made me cry even more bc it made me realize I want the love I give others to be returned to me too, and how frickin lonely that sounds. I want to be loved the same way I love them. I know how it feels to feel like you're unloved and unappreciated so I tend to be that caring and funny friend bc I don't want them feeling the same way. And sometimes, I have this little hope that they'll do the same thing for me. But yanno, there are some who just take it for granted. I just need someone.

[@Atlas_Clouds]

As another two, and as someone who has experienced similar things. You are loved and cared for. Remember that you have to love yourself as well. You are one of a kind, and there isn't enough people like you in this world. Keep on caring, and loving. Keep moving. We care.

Omg you describe why I’m bawling my eyes out rn

[@vsbjd627]

Its fascinating to me how before the song starts, you can hear something is going on, rustling or taking a deep breath and the singer starts to sing. Shows how the singer, would drop everything to prioritise someone else, mentally and physically. The singer also uses a different tone or note when he sings about himself, it goes much quieter whenever he mentions himself. Some of the examples would be my own chest, put my mask on first, fixing myself too and to be loved myself. Like the singer has his own issues that he'd rather hide and keep secret about. Throughout the song, there is also a sense of exasperated? in the way the singer sings to his significant other. To tell and assure that they are loved, they are safe and that the singer would move heaven and earth for them. Exasperated in a good way? Idk the exact adjective to describe it. Like the feeling you get when you're explaining something to someone and getting so breathless and fired up but them being clueless still. And after the song ends, you can hear the singer releasing a breath or rustling about. Other songs on this project dont really have that bits left out, but I can be wrong. That last bit as if to indicate, the song has now end and the singer can take off their mask because during the song singer represses their emotions and feelings and basically put on masks to comfort others.

[@NateSearson]

Each song in this series starts with the sound effect of someone in Ryan's life that matches up with the enneagram type that's being focused on. If I remember correctly the rustling at the start is his wife making a bed, as his wife is a Type 2.

The sound you hear in the beginning is someone making a bed, and that ties into the hospitable and caring nature of Twos while nodding to the tidy, orderly nature of Ones, which was the song that came before. The ending sound is a dancer practicing, which bridges into the performance theme in the Threes personality. They're fingerprint sounds that the artist hid into these songs, which were sounds that he asked his friends and family to send him in order to incorporate them into songs of their respective types.

This song really hit. For my entire life I’ve worried about others, I’ve always wanted to help with problems and make sure everyone was okay. Not only did I want others to be happy but I really wanted people to like me. I’ve always taken the role of the nicest person in the group, the therapist for my friends, and the medic of my family. It’s always been my goal to help others, and it still is. I remember at one point I truly realized I was a helper after I helped my friend through a mental breakdown, she told me she wanted to commit suicide, I stayed on the phone with her for hours and I’m proud of helping her- she’s alive and happy now. But once the call ended I just started crying, I just broke down and came to the realization of how bad my mental health was getting. I’ve always wanted to be liked and I achieved that, good, but now why do I feel so bad? I realized how long I’ve wanted someone to love me and care for me, but I convinced myself it was selfish for such a long time that every time I was offered help I rejected it. That night I told my mother that I wanted to be loved, that’s all I said, and she listened. I remember her hugging me and telling me about how many people love me and I was just so happy I told someone. Even now I’m still a giver, I still live to please others and I’m honestly working on fixing that. However that experience with my mother has made her aware that even if I reject the help I’m offered I might still need it, she always lets me know I loved and that changes a lot in someone’s life, I’m so glad I have her.

I love my friends and all, but there are times when all i radiate is happiness and i'm scared of showing them what i truly feel inside cuz maybe i'll affect them, ruin their day, or whatever. i've learned to put on a mask and show them that i'm okay, that i don't have too much on my plate and that they can put more, that it's fine if i don't open up as long as they can open up their feelings, that it's fine if they give up cuz i'm here to pull them up while i, myself, is falling. i hate it.

*_omg its in words_*

[@dashgq7782]

That's a good interpretation. Although it's actually pertaining to air flight safety measure. They tell you to put your mask on first before you help someone to put theirs on. In this song, he tells you he knows the rule but disregarded it as can be read on the lines before this. Twos are always there to help but sometimes they disregard to help themselves first so they can effectively assist others. In a way it relates also to your interpretation :) listen to the podcast of the artist, it's really good :)

[@br-ken_rec-rd]

This song ripped my heart out and stomped on it. It hits so deep. Always as a kid and even still, I just want to be loved unconditionally.

[@ameliag2]

I can relate to this and I’m crying so hard. I love being kind to people that’s who I am. But a lot of the time I show compassion towards others because I want them to return the favor. I’m too hard on myself so instead of dealing with my own emotions I try to handle someone else’s in hopes that’ll distract me from my pain. I wish I could tell other people how I feel without having to ask them to listen, because for me that makes me seem like an attention seeker. I kinda just hope it comes naturally from showing live to someone else. But deep down inside I just want to talk to someone. I want them to ask what’s wrong. I just want someone to listen, but my silent calls for help don’t reach them. So I take on the extra weight in my shoulders from everyone else’s emotions. And I stuff mine in a bottle until it breaks. Until I break. But I do it silently, so that people think I’m okay. So they think I can carry their weight.

[@francescadilorenzo1530]

Hey, hope you're feeling better. I, as a fellow type 2, am here to say it's okay. It's okay to be vulnerable and tell your problems to others. It's okay to break. People understand that people aren't unbreakable, indestructable. We all have our weaknesses and breaking points. It's okay to be loved, to feel loved by others and yourself. What we have is a wonderful gift and we, ourselves, need to take advantage of it. Learning how to love yourself and be loved by the people around you is a long process, but it's truly worth it. Trust me. Even though I'm a random stranger on the internet. Hope you're feeling better and that whenever you come back to hear this song, you can also come back to this comment when and if you feel down again. Stay safe!✌🏻

[@ihavetractor4741]

[@regardingrutth7284]

Y’all, I’m not gonna lie- I SOBBED HARD when I first heard this. The first part felt like it was being told to me- the next felt like it was me telling others. This was beautiful and tragic all at the same time. And I felt it deeply. It’s exhausting being a serving 2 and fixing everyone and forgetting about yourself, but at the same time it’s so fulfilling to help. It’s an ugly cycle. But again “I will love you without a single string attached”.

[@ariellejenkins8879]

Regarding Rutth this comment is how I looked at it too. And how I look at others.

I felt the exact same way! I felt like the beginning was being asked and talked directly to me. And the rest was me talking to others. My hearts throbbing

[@sophiabamert2687]

Regarding Rutth but somehow I also like to help others but then sometimes I just wish someone asked me how I felt or when somebody asks me how I feel, I say I’m fine cause I feel like they wouldn’t want to talk about me. My Best Friend is the only one I can talk to ♥️

[@reecemendoza]

this is also exactly how i felt. i was sitting in class waiting for the professor to arrive when i first heard this song and i cried SO hard i had to fix myself up before she came. this song speaks to me on a whole other level that my heart wrenches every time i listen to it. it's like being the person who always gives and gives and gives so much love to other people but receives little to nothing in return.

[@hia_sop_]

From what I can see, a lot of ppl are conflicted w/ what the song seems to convey. Some see it as a love song intended for another person, others see it as a song about a person who struggles to love themself. Interpret it however you want to interpret it. It makes the experience more genuine for YOU. I just want to say to whoever is scrolling down the comments that you deserve all the love in the world, from yourself or from others. Have a nice life! ♡

Two things: 1.) “maybe one day I’ll get around to fixing myself too.” 2.) “ I just want to love you, to love you, to love you well / I just want to learn how, someone, to be loved myself.” THIS SONG Y’ALL! I’m constantly amazed when I realize I’m not the only person feeling these things. Also, no one asked, but I read first lines as us asking others if they are ok, but a lot of people on here are commenting about how the song is asking them if they are okay. This really speaks to the subconscious knowledge that we do not ask ourselves these questions enough! Let’s be healthy twos-make sure you are taking care of your needs as well. You are not selfish for needing a break. Always remember: YOU CANT POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP! ❤️❤️

I believe in you. I have hope for you. I love you. So you should too. You're so helpful. You really are. I want you to promise you'll keep trying. Okay? You're worth that fight. I want you to understand just how much they love you. It could be difficult for you to get, but they all have their reasons. It's becuase... _you are you_. Keep it up. You're doing wonderful. Don't treat yourself any less then the people you care for. Make sure to eat enough. Sleep enough. Have enough fun. Dance. Sing. Dream. Imagine. Do. You're a masterpiece. Truly. I look up to you. Keep being you. You have such an extraordinary smile. Absolutely marvelous. Let them see it a little more. Not some fake smile you might try to hide behind. No. I mean try to really be happy sometimes. Just test the waters of happiness. You'll find it soon enough. Everything will be okay in the end. Everything happens for a reason, right? So just wait for that reason. Keep holding on. You got this. I love you. They all love you. Now try to love your amazing self. It'll be worth it. Never let anyone push you around or tell you that you're nothing. Becuase, to so many people, you're everything. Trust me if you can.

[@garrettjanz7382]

@Natalia Barnett it's a tough spot to be in when you give so much, but then feel like you don't receive any in return. Luckily, I've been focusing on how I can move forward. It's come to the point where I need to possibly get rid of a friend in my life who has been a big source of these issues. I had to talk with many people to realize that he was using me, and it wasn't healthy for me to give in all the time. Thank you, Natalia, for responding and offering to be someone I can vent to. I bet you are feeling like this as well, and I would love to be someone you can talk to as well. You have value, and it's not in what you can do for others. You have value because you are you.

I jokingly say “I’m a 2 in Recovery.” I had a dream awhile back… In it a friend and I were talking about a super stressful and upsetting thing I was experiencing. Though it was still happening in real life, the dream conversation was referring to it in the past tense. In the dream I asked my friend “Are you mad I didn’t tell you about X? Was I right or wrong to wait until it was over?” The friend looked at me and in grief said “You robbed us of the chance to love you.” I started sharing the situation with friends the next day.

Sadly the non 2 types out there dont have to that degree the need of love, apreciation and care, nor can we give it or are willing to. It's a priorities problem.
