Type five

The Enneagram Type 5's lost childhood message is "Your needs are not important." Type 5s often grew up in environments where they felt that their own needs and desires were not acknowledged or met, and they may have learned to withdraw and focus on their own thoughts and ideas as a way to feel safe and in control.

As a result, Type 5s may have developed a pattern of being highly self-sufficient and independent, and may have a tendency to prioritize their own thoughts and ideas over the needs and opinions of others. They may also have a strong desire for knowledge and information, and may be highly analytical and curious.

The lost childhood message of "Your needs are not important" can be a deeply ingrained belief for Type 5s, and can drive their behavior in relationships and other areas of their life. Understanding and working through this message can be an important part of growth and development for Type 5s, helping them to develop a more balanced and healthy approach to relationships and self-care, and to recognize the importance of their own needs and desires.
