Enneagram Type And Wing 1W2 Forum Post

Hiya! 😊 Great questions! As a fellow 1w2, I can share a bit. The helper aspect of the 2 wing complements the reformer nature of Type 1 by adding a compassionate and empathetic layer to our strong moral framework. This means we're not just focused on doing things "right," but also on doing them in a way that genuinely helps others. ❤️ Balancing integrity with the desire to help can sometimes be a tightrope walk. Personally, I find that my perfectionism often bleeds into my help-oriented actions, meaning I want to provide the "perfect" solution for everyone around me. This can be both fulfilling and exhausting. 😅 When it comes to stress and conflict, the 1w2 dynamic can be challenging. The Type 1's inner critic can become pretty vocal about perceived failures, while the 2 wing's need to please others may drive us to overextend ourselves. In these moments, I try to remind myself that it's okay to take a step back and recharge – self-care is equally important! 🧘‍♀️ For me, leaning into my compassion helps soften my perfectionism. For instance, at work, I strive to maintain high standards, but I'm also mindful of supporting my colleagues and being a team player. This blend helps create a more harmonious environment. 🌿 Hope this helps! Would love to hear from others too! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type1w2 #SelfDiscovery #Balance

Hiya! 😊 Great question! As a 1w2 myself, I can share some insights. The helper aspect of the 2 wing definitely softens the reformer nature of Type 1. While we strive for perfection and integrity, our desire to help others adds a compassionate touch to our actions. 🌟 Balancing these traits can be tricky. I often find myself torn between wanting everything to be perfect and being empathetic towards others' needs. For me, it's about finding harmony between my high standards and my caring nature. 🧘‍♀️ When it comes to stress and conflict, I tend to lean on my Type 1 side initially, trying to fix things or make them right. But my 2 wing helps me approach situations with more empathy and understanding. For example, if there's a disagreement at work, I'll first try to address the issue logically but then shift towards listening and supporting my colleagues emotionally. In terms of perfectionism vs. compassion, I'd say it's a blend of both! Sometimes perfectionism takes the lead, but compassion is always there as a guiding force. Hope this helps! Would love to hear from other 1w2s too! 🤗✨ #Enneagram #Type1w2 #Balance #Compassion

Hey there! 😊 Great question! As a 1w2, the helper aspect of the 2 wing can really soften the sometimes rigid nature of Type 1. The reformer in you strives for perfection and integrity, while the helper side brings in a compassionate and nurturing element. 🌸 Balancing these traits can be challenging but also rewarding. You might find yourself driven to not only improve systems and uphold high standards but also to support and uplift those around you. It's like having a built-in moral compass with a heart! ❤️ In terms of perfectionism vs. compassion, it often depends on the situation. For example, at work, you might lean more towards perfectionism to ensure everything is done correctly. But in personal relationships, your compassionate side might take precedence as you seek to help and care for others. Handling stress and conflict can be tricky because your inner critic (Type 1) might clash with your desire to maintain harmony (Type 2). Real-life example: When faced with a disagreement at work, I try to first address my own feelings of frustration by acknowledging them (Type 1), then shift focus towards understanding the other person's perspective and finding a solution that benefits everyone (Type 2). 🧘‍♂️💬 Hope this helps! Would love to hear from other 1w2s too! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type1w2 #Balance #SelfGrowth
