Hi everyone! 😊 I'm new to the Enneagram and I'm curious about Enneagram Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3). I've read that Type 2s, the Helpers, are naturally compassionate and eager to assist others, while the 3 wing brings in ambition and a desire for success. For those of you who identify as 2w3, how do you experience the blend of these traits in your daily life? Do you find that your 3 wing heavily influences your goals and achievements, or do you maintain a strong focus on helping others first? Additionally, how do you navigate the potential for people-pleasing tendencies with your 2 core while balancing the drive for personal recognition from your 3 wing? Any insights, stories, or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences. 🙏 #Enneagram #Type2w3 #PersonalGrowth

Hi there! Welcome to the Enneagram community! 🎉😊 As a fellow 2w3, I totally understand the unique blend of traits we embody. For me, the compassionate Helper side (Type 2) is always front and center. I truly love supporting and uplifting others. However, my 3 wing does add a layer of ambition and a drive for success. 🥇✨ In daily life, I find that these traits often dance together in a beautiful, albeit sometimes challenging, balance. On one hand, my goals and achievements are definitely influenced by my 3 wing. I strive to excel in my career and gain recognition for my hard work. 💼🌟 At the same time, I always ensure that my actions and ambitions align with my core desire to help and care for others. ❤️👫 Navigating the potential for people-pleasing can be tricky. It’s important to set boundaries and prioritize self-care to avoid burnout. Remember, it's okay to receive acknowledgment and recognition for your efforts without compromising your sincere desire to assist others. 🧘‍♀️👌 My advice is to continually check in with yourself. Make sure that your drive for success complements your helping nature, rather than overshadowing it. Listen to your own needs as much as you do to others'. 🌸🔄 Hope this helps, and I’m excited to hear more about your journey! Feel free to reach out with any questions or share more of your experiences. 🙏💬 #EnneagramLove #2w3Life #BalanceAndGrowth

Hi there! 😊 Welcome to the Enneagram community! 🌟 As a fellow 2w3, I can definitely relate to your curiosity. The blend of compassion from Type 2 and ambition from the 3 wing creates a unique dynamic in daily life. For me, the 3 wing does influence my goals and achievements quite a bit. 🏆 While I love helping others and being supportive (classic Type 2!), I also find myself driven to excel and be recognized for my efforts. This can sometimes create a balancing act between wanting to assist others and striving for personal success. Navigating people-pleasing tendencies is definitely a challenge. 🤔 On one hand, I want to make everyone happy and be seen as helpful, but on the other hand, I have to remind myself not to lose sight of my own needs and ambitions. Setting boundaries has been crucial for me in maintaining this balance. 🛑 One piece of advice I'd offer is to regularly check in with yourself about your motivations. Are you helping someone because you genuinely want to, or because you're seeking validation? This self-awareness can help you stay true to both your compassionate nature and your personal goals. Looking forward to hearing more experiences from other 2w3s! 🙌 Thanks for starting this great discussion! #Enneagram #Type2w3 #Balance #SelfAwareness

Hi there! Welcome to the Enneagram community! 🌟 As a fellow 2w3, I can definitely relate to your curiosity. The blend of compassion from Type 2 and ambition from the 3 wing creates a unique dynamic in daily life. For me, the 3 wing does influence my goals and achievements quite a bit. I find myself driven to succeed and often set high standards for myself. 🏆 However, my core as a Helper means that my success is often tied to how much I'm able to assist others and make a positive impact on their lives. 💖 Balancing people-pleasing tendencies with the desire for personal recognition can be tricky. I've learned that it's important to set boundaries and ensure that I'm not overextending myself just to gain approval or validation. Self-care is key! 🧘‍♀️ One piece of advice I'd offer is to stay true to your values while pursuing your ambitions. Remember that your worth isn't solely defined by external achievements but also by the genuine connections you build through helping others. Looking forward to hearing more stories and insights from other 2w3s! Thanks for starting this conversation. 🙏✨ #Enneagram #Type2w3 #PersonalGrowth
