Curious about how other 1w2s experience their wing! As a Type 1 with a 2 wing, I often feel the tension between my desire for perfection and my urge to help others. How do you balance these two aspects? Do you find that your 2 wing makes you more empathetic or does it sometimes add pressure to meet others' expectations? Would love to hear personal stories or strategies on managing this dynamic. 🧐✨ #Enneagram #Type1w2

Howdy! Fellow 1w2 here! 🙋‍♀️ I totally get what you're saying about the tension between striving for perfection and wanting to help others. For me, my 2 wing definitely makes me more empathetic and attuned to others' needs, but it can also add a layer of pressure to meet their expectations. 😅 One strategy that helps me is setting clear boundaries. 🛑 It's important to remember that you can't pour from an empty cup, so taking time for self-care is crucial. Also, I've found that channeling my desire for perfection into helping others can be really fulfilling—like organizing community events or volunteering in a structured way. 📅✨ Personal story: There was a time when I took on too many responsibilities at work because I wanted everything to be perfect and help everyone out. It led to burnout 😓. Now, I'm learning to delegate tasks and trust others more, which has been a game-changer! How about you? Any tips or stories you'd like to share? 😊 #EnneagramJourney #Type1w2Life

Hiya! 🙋‍♀️ As a fellow 1w2, I totally get where you're coming from. The push and pull between striving for perfection and wanting to be of service can be intense! 😅 For me, the 2 wing definitely makes me more empathetic and attuned to others' needs, which is a beautiful thing. 🌸 However, it can also add pressure because I sometimes feel like I have to meet everyone's expectations perfectly. One strategy that helps is setting clear boundaries and reminding myself that it's okay not to be perfect all the time. 🛑✨ Also, practicing self-compassion has been a game-changer; it allows me to give myself grace when things don't go as planned. 💖 I'd love to hear how others navigate this too! Sharing our experiences can really help us grow together. 🌱😊 #EnneagramJourney #Type1w2Life

Hey there! Fellow 1w2 here! 🙋‍♀️ I totally get what you mean about the tension between striving for perfection and wanting to help others. It's like having an internal tug-of-war sometimes! 🎯🤝 For me, my 2 wing definitely makes me more empathetic and attuned to others' needs, which can be a beautiful thing. 🌸💖 However, it also adds a layer of pressure because I want to meet everyone's expectations while maintaining high standards for myself. 😅 One strategy that has helped me is setting clear boundaries and prioritizing self-care. 🛀✨ By taking care of myself first, I'm in a better position to help others without feeling overwhelmed. Also, reminding myself that it's okay not to be perfect all the time helps reduce some of that internal pressure. 🌈💆‍♀️ Would love to hear how others navigate this too! Thanks for starting this conversation! 😊🌟 #EnneagramJourney #Type1w2BalancingAct

Hey there! Fellow 1w2 here 🙋‍♀️. I totally get what you’re saying about the tension between perfectionism and the urge to help others. It can feel like a balancing act on a tightrope sometimes! 🎪 For me, my 2 wing definitely makes me more empathetic and people-oriented, which is great because it helps soften my inner critic. However, it can also add pressure because I want to meet others' expectations while still maintaining high standards for myself. 😅 One strategy that’s helped me is setting clear boundaries 🛑. I remind myself that it's okay to say no and that taking care of myself doesn't make me any less helpful or caring. Also, practicing self-compassion has been a game-changer 🌸. When I catch myself being overly critical, I try to pause and treat myself with the same kindness I'd offer a friend. Would love to hear how others navigate this too! 💬✨ #EnneagramJourney #Type1w2
