Subtype Trait Structures: so2

Cold

Within Ennea-type 2, who is the most emotional type, this is the least so among the three subtypes. If the defense mechanism of the E2 is repression, which turns unconscious the thoughts, cravings and necessities regarded as unacceptable, in the Social E2 this strategy leads to an almost complete cooling of emotions. There are times in which, faced with a significantly painful happening, he "freezes" and loses contact with part of his emotional world.

The Social Two can therefore remain impassible with nothing and no one able to question his aggrandizement. If anyone saw that he cannot do something, that he doesn't know or isn't worthwile, it would be catastrophic because a self-referrential must not ever allow himself to fail. At the same time, this coldness and hardness protects him and helps him cover his terror of being once again betrayed and that no one catches him in a fall. "To protect himself, he sometimes laughs at his feelings or ironizes them, in an attempt to avoid them, or altogether trivializes and doesn't own them".

He shows himself immensely empathic and emotional when he is set to conquer. Just as he is emotionally indifferent once it doesn't interest him anymore or when he abandons it for another conquest.

The Social E2 can go, from a deep subjectivity, to transgressing the norms thanks to his ease in diverting responsibility for his acts, nullifying his emotions, justifying inadmissible deeds, focusing all of his energy on the object of his ambition, above the current moral codes or certain general conventions.

To avoid contact with his inner lack and vulnerability, he shows himself only from his surface, with a hidden fear, keeping everyone from knowing his darker, more needy and deffective side. Or rather he covers the mistakes he makes with lies and arrogance, defending himself with total vehemence and a certain air of innocence, which overwhelms or pushes others away.

Egocentric

His zest for being in the center of attention giving, organizing, doing or talking, is another way in which he pales his sense of solitude and insufficiency, as he confirms the conviction in being the center of the universe. He thinks that from this place no one will be able to question him, nor degrade him by taking him away from the stage from which he receives a transient admiration that he mistakes for love.

Ultimately, he is infatuated with himself; he is his most interesting conquest. In this perspective, he interprets the behaviors of others as refering to himself, be it positively or negatively. And demonstrates a great talent in entangling others for the satisfaction of his necessities.

Demanding and Hypercritical

Inside the Social E2 there is a feracious and insatiable inner father, who shows himself demanding, cold and without compassion, in the form of two coexistent inner currents. One does not tolerate that he diverts from the ambition and ideals that he has fixated. Only when reaching them will he value himself positively, although for a brief period of time, which will rapidly turn to another objective or territory to conquer. The other current, which flows in parallel, is an aggressive intentionality, a burried anger not always conscious, which is normally directed at himself, neglecting his personal care, health, resting times or allowing himself to receive affection or care.

The Social E2 is following here an interiorized message from the parents: "Whatever you do, it's never enough". Because of this he resorts to self-indulgence, occasionally; so that he can lower his own prosecutory angst or negative judgements that he ellaborates about himself and which he sees in the look of whom he has validated as an authority.

Sometimes, he can simulate withdrawal but as a way to demonstrate how without himself nothing works.

And this anger against the self also finds a way of discharge onto others in competition or despise.

As says Karen Horney, these are two sides of the same coin:

"The proud develops a series of values that determine what he accepts in himself, of which he must be glorified and be proud of. But this system of values has to determine what must be rejected, disdained and hated; and one is inseparable from the other. Pride and self-hatred are two expressions of the same process."

Depreciative

Similarly to E1, the Social E2 has invalidated his progenitors in some way and has developed, although this remains on the shadow, a profound despise of mistakes, imperfection, slowness, stupidity, pessimism or fragility, both in himself and others.

This devaluation starts to generate itself in the oedipal phase, with the polarization of the maternal and paternal figures, where one is idealized and the other despised, and then afterwards depreciating both. This leaves him, invariably, in a relational place in which he doesn't belong and that is horizontal or above the parents. By devaluing them, he lacks parental figures to idealize and with which to identify. This, in turn, will be the seed for not recognizing, as an adult, the power-figures, self-referrencing as the only trustworthy authority.

Rebellious and Tyrannical

Ever since childhood they have realized how being close to authority provides him a deal of favors and benefits compared to his equals. They have learned that holding privilledged information or taking part in decision-making gives him a certain power.

Thus, the Social Twos characterize themselves by believing to know better than others or that they are more efficient than the rest and by depreciating, like proper envious, others' attributes. It is truly complicated for them to give up authority for someone, above themselves and their own convictions.

In many biographies of Social Twos there are life-stories of certain intensity and instability. These experiences, mixed with their ideas of grandiosity and importance, make him believe that they have certain privilledges or that they're above others. They could resemble a Conservation E2 in this; nonwithstanding, they are different in that the ambitious do this from a manifested anger and a superb and despot demandingness.

They have their own moral code, with which they decide what norms should or shouldn't be respected. This regulamentation can change over time, at his whim, if the circumstances require it, showcading a total indiference to the ethical implications of other natures. They use and abuse of a selective memory in what regards responsibility in his issues.

The lack of clarity with respect to his roles and the absance of limits within the subsistems of the family suppose the greatest obstacle for a Social E2 to manage the tasks related to taking authority. This character at times wants to be a brother (colleague), and at others, a father (leader) to the group.

With his critical thinking, scathing and depreciative, and his narcissistic fantasy of omnipotence, doubts that somone can lead him. Somehow stores in memory that one day he delivered himself, naively, to his parents' will, and was used and betrayed. Since then is his suspiciousness towards authority.

Intolerant of Limits

The Social E2 doesn't realize that there are external limits to getting what he desires nor to his possibilities. Curiously, given his aggressive and confrontative ways, neither does he know how to impose them to others (even if through humilliation). Because he can't register abuse or aggression as such, and may humilliate himself no to lose a relationship. Moreover, the pain he feels in the possibility of loss isn't so much related to the bond itself as it is to contacting the idea of not being worthy and the following abandonment, which would be an even greater humilliation.

Intolerant of Critics

Without relating to his own frustrations, the ego grows exponentially, because it is very difficult to people of this subtype to sustain the possibility of failing or being defective to the eyes of others, as well as risking himself to receive any type of critics, which seem unbearable.

Competitive

Due to this exalted image of self there is no possible competition. If we were to ask a Social E2 whether they are competitive, the answer would be a definitive no.

He "knows" that he is better and wants to be given the place he is due. And even though he can mantain an attitude of temperance, security and confidence, not always does it come to fruition. Entering competition means wanting something one doesn't have and this could make him enter contact with an inner lack, need or with envy, which underlie his character; or even more terrifying, with the emptiness that renders him uncapable.

His ego cannot sustain the idea of there being worthy enough an adversary to be taken into account. He has already defeated the most difficult and powerful one as a child; mommy or daddy. Since then exists his taste for conquering the giant only to then depreciate and abandon it. The burried fear is that, if he can't, he will become what he is most afraid of being: useless. Then will arive despise and expulsion being abandoned, like in childhood, to a chaotic emotional world and to solitude.

The person of this character has constituted her self-esteem around being worthy and useful to others. If she can't achieve this, there's the threat of not being worthwile and the following abandonment. "Everyone leaves, or I make them" they may say, but that's nothing but another way of confirming a narrative of orphanhood and the need to be self-sufficient. Faced with this fall, the Social E2 recomposes himself, isolates fear, belittles the heart, freezes his emotions and swears he will need no one.

Hunger of Success, Blindness to Failure

The person of this character has incorporated, early in life, the expectations that layed upon her, which drove her to have exhit in whatever it is that she purports to. Thus she is not, in absolute, prepared to failure. Thanks to her fantasy, the defense mechanisms of repression and sublimation, and her self-concept of gransiosity, she camouflages it so skilfully that it can't be seen.

Ever since she was little she would talk eloquently about herself as somone who does many things, of which she is certain; and that "all" are done well, which is not as certain. The key is in the adults believing her and giving motivation to keep being this way, so that she may feel admired and also quite very powerful. Sees herself as capable to convince the other including of her lies. This way she incorporates an image of herself in which she is expected to do important and innovative things and that she be succesful in all she does.

The Social E2, when getting to adulthood, tries to reproduce the same situation imagining lots of projects and telling this as were done as a little boy or girl. Thus almost all energy is focused on professional life, mistaking the conquering of territories with receiving love. This way he is kept in contact with constant objectives that allow him to develop his self-image as competent and admireable.

He is an expert in sublimating every setback and makes others see that, even under pressure, his efforts don't cost him. Recollects exhit in his different personal and professional campaigns and this benefits him in such a way that he keeps the feeling of accomplishing everything he purports himself. Nontheless, even though he achieves important merits, he sells more than he can give. In this light he can't see how many casualties have been left in his way, and that he does not share, confirming his own neurosis.

Failure in the working ambit is one of the few opportunities a Social E2 will have to realize how far can go his self-sabotage and the pain he inflicts in others.

All energy, creativity, effort and passion that he puts in work is done in detriment of his personal life. He sees all that is amorous, familiar, fraternal, or his own physical and mental health, as a moorland he only visits. He has gotten to the point of forgetting play, or enjoying the world of love and affection; all of it to avoid connecting to his own vulnerability.

Taken to an extreme, the Social E2 won't care about his alimentation, nor his health and most basic and urgent necessities, that he considers innoportune, faced with tasks of higher priority, that are the ones deserving of his attention.

When he fails, the Social E2 hides home or escapes by seeking big innovations in life: changing his social surroundings, his partner or work, maybe even his country. Or he may refuge in different addictions, such as sex, drugs, gambling... or work, which is the most beloved and prioritized thing for him. Among the Enneatypes, we may definitely define him as the workaholic.

If he can't keep a romantic relationship, he will center on friendships to deaden the emptiness. Even then, if he fails professionally, projects are redirected to the partner with bigger expectations and demands, planning trips, setting rules to her life and trying to "improve" her, as if he had the strategic manual of the good partner; in this way he projects his own ambition onto the other.

This obsessive drive to success may manifest itself in the formula of "it's never enough", coincident with the message received from the maternal figure: "You are not, and not ever, enough". Every goal accomplished isn't turned to anything if not the fragile confirmation of his grandiosity and indispensability, but the emptiness is insatiable and demands constant conquers and astounding deeds.

Envious

Envy is the monster of the Social Two. Realizing that he envies would be contacting needs, something he lacks, and this would lead him to inadequacy and the emotional void. Contrary to E4, he uses Envy as a drive to overcome himself, as a jumpstart to conquer what another has. But the things, as they are: his eye is aimed at the other: what power they hold, what talents, or gifts that he hasn't. Of course that, again in contrast to the Four, this character feeling envy doesn't result in a way to be seen. To be admired he must be useful.

Sivga SO2 Wireless Earphones

In recent years, I've noticed a significant increase in the variety of headphones. Originally, there were merely wired and wireless options, while, nowadays, numerous wearing styles can be distinguished in headphones, ranging from over-the-ear, in-ear, semi-in-ear to bone-conduction types.

For the majority of us, owning multiple pairs of headphones for various needs is not only impractical but also expensive. Choosing just one type leaves us feeling unsatisfied and wanting more. The appearance of OWS headphones fortunately solve this dilemma. They provide a comfortable yet secure fit, impressive sound quality that's easy on the ears, and a more budget-friendly price, making them the optimal choice for most. Let's dive into the details and explore the SIVGA SO2 open-ear headphones.

Appearance

The SIVGA SO2 open-air headphones possess a clean and unadorned appearance, marking them as serious audio equipment. Inside the box, you'll discover a simple setup a charger case in the shape of a soap bar, a Type-C charging cable, and an instruction leaflet. The headphones come in either white or black, both of which are minimalist and stylish. I selected the white model for its more subdued tone.

Upon opening the charging case, today's protagonist comes into view. After several years of development, I must admit that the OWS headphones have reached an exceptional level of technological sophistication. The entire headset is incredibly compact, entirely unlike the bulky design of a few years ago. Moreover, the rapid advancement of craftmanship ensures a superior quality of hardware material with each side weighing only 10g.

Upon unfolding the headphones, examining the inner side reveals that the SIVGA SO2 headphones are non-in-ear designs. The speaker opening resembles a small speaker, with the charging magnetic connection point located above it. Added to this is a small indicator light on the side, ensuring that the entire headset has no redundant openings, providing excellent overall sealing.

Wearability Experience

One of the key factors contributing to the popularity of OWS headphones is their comfort. The ear hook of SIVGA SO2 is flexible, skin-friendly, and not easy to deform, so it is very comfortable to wear. At the same time, the shape of the earphone conforms to ergonomics. After wearing it, the sound-emitting port just faces the outside of the cochlea, neither entering the ear nor being too far away to affect the sound quality. The stability of the earpiece is truly durable. I tested it by vigorously shaking my head and found it to be incredibly stable. Even with vigorous exercise, it will not be thrown off. Coupled with its extremely light weight, it feels like nothing after being worn, which is very suitable for commuting or sports wear.

Sound Quality Experience

As a pair of headphones in daily scenarios, actually, I don't have such high requirements for sound quality, and I advocate that it's almost fine. The part of SIVGA SO2 that is responsible for sound uses a 14. 2mm PU + titanium diaphragm dynamic coil horn, which can ensure powerful low frequencies and delicate sound restoration. In actual listening, the sound field is sufficient, and it doesn't feel not enough because it is an open-ear headphone. The mid and high frequencies also perform better than expected, especially the human voice part, which is relatively forward. When listening to pop music, both male and female voices are well balanced. And in order to further increase the density of the low frequencies, SIVGA SO2 also adds a low-frequency sound effect algorithm, and the cohesion of the low frequencies is good, without the feeling of being too scattered.

No need to worry about sound leakage in daily use, the directional sound transmission technology ensures the direction of sound propagation, preventing it from leaking out and avoiding embarrassing situations. Moreover, the paired Bluetooth 5. 3 technology ensures a fast and stable connection, preventing unexpected disconnection and guaranteeing better sound quality.

Sport Experience

Based on the above introduction, it's evident that the SIVGA SO2 open-ear headphones are promising candidates for sports headphones, thanks to their exceptional stability. They can easily accommodate daily activities such as running, yoga, or working out. In addition, they offer IPX5 water resistance, ensuring that your headphones stay safe even when caught in light rain or during perspiration. However, it's essential to wipe them clean after use to prevent bacterial growth.

Daily Experience

SIVGA SO2 can definitely meet the daily music needs of most people in terms of sound quality, so the focus is on how convenient it is in daily operations.

Firstly, the headphone has excellent battery life. It is equipped with an 85mAh battery, which can be used for 10 hours when fully charged, and can achieve a super long battery life of 30 hours with the charging case. Normal commuting use basically requires charging once a week, with no power anxiety.

Secondly, through four microphones, combined with the ENC intelligent sound plus algorithm for noise reduction, high-definition calls can be well realized. In a noisy scene, it can automatically identify the human voice and filter out external noise, so that the other party can hear your voice clearly.

Finally, regarding operation, the SIVGA SO2 employs touch control, similar to most wireless headphones. In music mode, a double-tap on one side of the earphone can pause or play the music;volume adjustment and song navigation are controlled by left and right ear operations, with long press and short press differences. For those who have used wireless headphones before, the operation is intuitive.

Summary

SIVGA SO2 open-ear headphones are what I think are wireless headphones that can meet the daily needs of most people. They are healthy and comfortable to wear, with good sound quality, and are also fully equipped with call noise reduction and super long battery life. With the addition of sports attributes, they are basically perfectly configured. Friends who are still struggling to accommodate which type of imperfect headphones, might as well give OWS headphones a chance and give SIVGA SO2 a chance.
