4w3, or 3w4 I would think. Off chance that 2w1 or 1w2 can be like that.

3, Self image is based on how others see you. Energy directed towards creating that image, prioritized heavier than actually being that person if no one knows it.
4, high level of energy focused on yourself, energy directed at "who you are" internally rather than "you are" what you do.

Based on theory alone, this fits you question the most.

2w1 or 1w2, having the desire to do things for people to have others view them fondly as a 2, and 1 being perfectionistic could fall into the neurotic pitfall of needing to be "perfect" for others to love them, or if others see their "perfection" then they have value. Though I'm not sure which of 1w2 or 2w1 aligns with which of those listed in this paragraph.
