It is extremely frustrating for 2’s when they feel they know how to be there for you, but you won’t allow it.
There is a sense of hidden arrogance or pride at being able to know you better than you know yourself. They need to believe that they have the solution to your problems, and pride themselves on the fact that you let them in and allowed them to heal you.
