EDIT: this isn’t updated at all but it got likes so i’m gonna keep it there 😍💕 my rh era slayed After watching sS3, I’ve come to the conclusion Joe is a Type 2, not a 4. Joe constantly inflates his ego by believing he is the one who can save his loved ones, the provider who is able to give them the treatment they’ve always deserved - putting himself in the role of caretaker and nurturer (2)- as evidenced in this quote of his: « “I’ll help you get the life you deserve. “ » This constant search for women whom he can serve and save and his shifting behavior designed to fit other’s needs goes against Type 4 traits - overidentification with a flawed self, a glorified vision of authenticity and the search for a savior, someone who will acknowledge their shortcomings and still be by their side - Joe is not looking for a savior, he IS the savior. His distorted vision of helping and serving is his biggest characteristic. He doesn’t believe he will get the affection he desperately craves by enhancing his authenticity, he believes it is crucial to give in order to get since that’s the only way of being loved back. ↓ « Twos attempt to get a sense of value by saying, "I know I am valuable because others love and value me. I do good things for people, and they appreciate me." Twos are res cuers. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Fours are rescuees. Fours tell themselves, "I know I am valuable because I am unique and unlike anyone else. I am special because someone took the trouble to rescue me. Someone is taking the trouble to attend to my distress, so I must be worthwhile." » More on the fact of Joe’s distorted vision towards helping and serving, in S1 he's got to sickening points such as stalking and killing for Beck, in the false belief he's helping and protecting her. When they breakup, Joe feels conflicted while seeing Beck's social media, realizing that she doesn't need him to be there for her anymore and actually having a good life without him. This distorted vision made him reach really low points, thinking that he's always doing something great for her, protecting her. Later at the final episode of season 1 and the beginning of season 2, Joe keeps saying to Beck AND the hallucination of Beck that she can never deny that he gave "his fullest" for her, that he did everything for her at his power.. that he helped her the fullest he could've helped. In conclusion, Joe’s persona revolves around fulfilling the role of “the perfect boyfriend”, the one who is the perfect match not because of his unique traits and authenticity, but because he does everything for love. His main focus is on attending to the needs of his love interests because he feels unworthy of affection if otherwise. made by me and @[rafelinha]!!
