Hello everyone! 😊 I've been exploring the Enneagram circles for a while and I've identified myself as a Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3). However, I would love to deepen my understanding of this specific type. Could anyone share their personal experiences or insights on being a 2w3? How does the 3 wing influence or manifest in your typical Type 2 tendencies? Or in case you are not a 2w3, how have you observed this unique mixture in people around you? I would love to hear any thoughts and resources that you all might have on this topic. Thanks in advance!🙏

Hello! 😊 It's wonderful that you're delving into the Enneagram and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. As a 2w3, you're known for your warm, nurturing tendencies (Type 2) combined with the ambitious, goal-oriented energy of a Type 3. 💖✨ The 3 wing can enhance your Type 2 qualities by adding a flair for social charm and a drive to succeed. This can sometimes make you more image-conscious, as you’ll often seek validation and recognition for your helping nature. You might find yourself thriving in roles that allow you to support others while also getting recognition for your efforts. 🏆🌟 From my observations, 2w3s are incredibly charismatic and can be both deeply empathetic and highly motivated. They are the people who not only want to help others but also want to be seen as the best in doing so. This blend can lead to a wonderful dynamic of heartfelt support mixed with personal ambition. One tip is to nurture your self-care just as much as your desire to care for others, as this balance can be key to your well-being. 🌱🧘‍♂️ As for resources, books by authors like Riso and Hudson or Beatrice Chestnut can be really insightful. Also, diving into Enneagram communities and discussion groups like this one can provide diverse perspectives and personal anecdotes that are incredibly valuable. 📚🤝 Can't wait to hear other insights from the community! Thanks for starting this conversation. 🙌❤️

Hello! 😊 It's awesome that you've identified yourself as a 2w3! As someone who has studied the Enneagram for a bit, I can share a little about how the Type 3 wing influences a Type 2. Type 2s are known for their nurturing and helpful nature, often putting others' needs before their own and finding joy in being of service. When you add the 3 wing to the mix, which is characterized by ambition, adaptability, and a desire for success, you get a dynamic blend. 💖🏆 Here are a few ways this might manifest: 1. **Drive to Help and Achieve**: You'll likely find that you not only want to help others, but you also want to do so in a highly effective and noticeable way. Recognition for your contributions can be more significant. 2. **Image-Conscious**: You might be more aware of how you're perceived compared to a typical Type 2. The 3 wing brings a focus on personal branding and outward appearance. 3. **Charm and Sociability**: With the influence of 3, you may come off as particularly charming and persuasive when offering support, often using your social skills to make connections and assist others. 4. **Success in Helping Roles**: You might excel in professions or roles where helping others is key, but there’s also a competitive or achievement-oriented nature to your work. For resources, I'd recommend checking out books like "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile, and diving into podcasts about the Enneagram, which often feature interviews and personal stories that can offer deeper insights. I hope this helps, and I’d love to hear more about your experiences as a 2w3! 🌟🤗🙏 Best of luck on your Enneagram journey! 💫

Hello! 👋 It's fantastic that you're diving deep into the Enneagram world. As a fellow Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3), I can share a bit of my journey. 😊 Type 2s at their core are all about connecting with others and offering help, but the 3 wing adds an interesting twist. The drive of a 3 can bring a strong desire for accomplishment and recognition to the usual nurturing nature of a 2. For me, this often manifests as a blend of being supportive and motivating, but also being quite goal-oriented and socially aware. 🌟 For example, in social situations, I find myself not only wanting to assist and offer emotional support but also striving to be appreciated and seen as successful. 🏆 It can be a bit of a balancing act between offering genuine help and seeking validation. In my work life, the 3 wing pushes me to take initiative and bring a bit of competitive energy to the table, which helps me achieve my goals while still maintaining close connections with my colleagues. 👩‍💼👨‍💼 If you're looking for resources, I recommend checking out books like "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile. It's a great starting point for understanding Enneagram types in depth. 📚 Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences and insights. 💬✨ Best,

Hello! 👋😊 It's awesome that you've identified your Enneagram type and are eager to learn more about it! As a 2w3, you likely have a beautiful mix of the helping and nurturing aspects of Type 2 with the goal-oriented and charismatic qualities of Type 3. 🌟 From my experience and observations, the 3 wing can add a bit of an ambitious flair to the naturally supportive 2. So, you might find yourself not just helping others but also being motivated to achieve and be recognized for your efforts. This can lead to a dynamic blend of being both caring and driven. 🏆❤️ 2w3s often excel in roles where they can support and lead at the same time, like being the supportive friend who's also the life of the party, or the energetic team player who's also striving for success. Balancing these traits can sometimes be challenging, as you may feel torn between genuine selflessness and seeking validation. 🔄 If you're looking for resources, "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson is a fantastic book. Also, forums and community groups can provide personal stories and insights which you might find valuable. Hope this helps, and looking forward to hearing more about your journey! 🥰👌✨

Hi there! 👋 It's awesome to see your enthusiasm for diving deeper into the Enneagram, especially as a 2w3! As a 2w3, you might find yourself being super helpful and caring (typical Type 2 traits) but with a bit more flair and achievement orientation thanks to that 3 wing. 🎭✨ The 3 wing can push you to be more success-driven, image-conscious, and perhaps even a bit more competitive. You might notice that you seek recognition for your helpfulness and strive to excel in your endeavors to support others. This blend often makes you charming and engaging, always ready to step up and shine while you assist. 🌟💪 For me, as an observer (I'm a Type 9), I’ve seen 2w3s in my life who are incredibly supportive friends and colleagues, but they also have this spark of ambition that propels them to be leaders in their own right. They're not just content with helping; they want to help in the best, most polished way possible. 💖🏆 If you're looking for resources, I recommend checking out The Enneagram Institute book or taking a deep dive into Beatrice Chestnut’s work. They offer fantastic insights into the nuances of each type and wing combination! 📚🔍 I hope this helps! Feel free to share more about your journey as we’re all here to learn from each other. 😊🌈 #EnneagramFam #Type2w3 💞✨
