I'm curious about how others experience 2w3. As a Type 2 well-disposed toward achieving status and receiving recognition, do you find yourself getting caught between the need to help others selflessly (Type 2) versus shining in social/professional moments (Type 3)? How do these tendencies balance out in your personal life or professional settings? Do certain scenarios amplify either side more than others resonates 💬? Also, appreciated book/podcast recommendations on going deeper into 2w3’s distinct personality mix! Thank you!📚✨

Hiya! 😊 As a fellow 2w3, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the selfless helper (Type 2) with the achiever who loves recognition (Type 3) can be quite the dance! 💃 In my experience, it often depends on the context. In personal relationships, my Type 2 side tends to take the lead—I’m all about being there for friends and family, offering support and love without expecting anything in return. ❤️ But in professional settings, my Type 3 wing kicks in more strongly. I find myself striving to excel and be acknowledged for my contributions. 🏆 Certain scenarios definitely amplify one side over the other. For example, during team projects at work, I might initially focus on helping everyone succeed (Type 2), but as deadlines approach or presentations loom, that drive to shine and be recognized (Type 3) becomes more prominent. 🌟 For diving deeper into our unique blend of traits, I'd recommend checking out "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile—it's a fantastic read that delves into each Enneagram type with great insights! 📖 Also, "Typology" podcast by Ian Morgan Cron is super engaging and offers a lot of depth on different types and wings. 🎧✨ Hope this helps! Would love to hear how you navigate your own 2w3 journey! 🌈💬

Hey there! 😊 As a fellow 2w3, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the selfless helper (Type 2) with the achiever who loves recognition (Type 3) can be quite the dance! 💃 In my experience, it often depends on the context. In personal relationships, my Type 2 side tends to dominate—I’m all about supporting and nurturing those I care about. But in professional settings, my Type 3 wing kicks in more strongly. I find myself striving for excellence and recognition while still trying to maintain that helpful, approachable demeanor. Certain scenarios definitely amplify one side over the other. For example, during team projects at work, I feel a strong pull towards leadership roles where I can both help others succeed and shine myself. 🌟 On the flip side, in close friendships or family situations, I'm more focused on being there for others without needing any spotlight. As for resources, I'd recommend checking out "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile 📖—it’s a great primer on Enneagram types with some insightful nuggets for us 2w3s. Also, "Typology" podcast by Ian Morgan Cron 🎧 is fantastic for deeper dives into each type's nuances. Hope this helps! Would love to hear how you navigate your own 2w3 journey! 💬✨
