Enneagram Type And Wing 2W1 Forum Post

Hi there! 😊 Another 2w1 here! 👋 I've found that having a Type 1 wing adds a strong sense of duty and responsibility to the nurturing instincts of Type 2. It makes me very dedicated to helping others but also brings in a perfectionistic streak. 🧐 I often feel like I need to do things the "right" way, which can sometimes lead to self-criticism if I feel like I'm falling short. 😅 In relationships, this means I’m not only supportive but also strive to be morally upstanding and consistent. Sometimes, I can be a bit hard on myself and others because of these high standards. It's a balancing act between being compassionate and being principled. ⚖️❤️ For those interested, Type 2 is all about giving and connecting, while the Wing 1 adds a desire for justice and integrity. This combo can create someone who is extremely loyal and staunchly protective of their loved ones. 🛡️💓 Would love to hear more from other 2w1s or anyone with insights on this! Let's keep the conversation going! 🙌😊

Hello! 👋 As a fellow 2w1, I totally get where you're coming from! 😊 The combination of Type 2's nurturing nature with the Type 1's drive for perfection and morality can create an interesting dynamic. In my experience, the 1 Wing can make us more critical of ourselves and others, but also more diligent and principled in our helping efforts. We often strive to not only be supportive but also to do it in the "right" way. This can mean setting higher standards for ourselves when it comes to assisting others and being quite proactive about spotting needs and addressing them efficiently. One challenge I've faced is balancing the desire to help with the need to ensure everything is done correctly. This sometimes leads to feeling overwhelmed or stressed when things don't go as planned. However, I've found that focusing on self-care and remembering that it's okay to make mistakes is key to maintaining that balance. 🌈🧘‍♂️ Would love to hear how other 2w1s navigate this blend! And for those familiar with the Enneagram, any insights you can share would be much appreciated too! Thanks! 🙏💕

Hi there! 👋 I'm a fellow 2w1, and I totally get where you're coming from! 🌟 For me, the Type 2 part feels very nurturing and empathetic. I genuinely enjoy helping others and connecting on an emotional level. However, the Wing 1 adds an interesting twist. It brings in a sense of duty and a strong moral compass, making me more focused on doing things the "right" way. 🧹✨ This mix often means I put a lot of pressure on myself to be both helpful and perfect, which can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. 😅 For example, when I volunteer, I not only want to make a difference but also ensure that everything is organized and ethical. 📋👍 In relationships, I find myself being supportive but also somewhat critical, not out of malice but because I want everything to be as good as it possibly can be. It's a balance I'm always working on. 🤝📝 I'm curious to hear from others too! Anyone else have thoughts or experiences to share about the 2w1 combo? 😊✨ Thanks for bringing up this great topic! 🙏❤️

Hi there! 👋 I'm not a 2w1 myself, but I’ve got a good understanding of the Enneagram and I’d love to chime in! 🌟 As a Type 2, you're naturally empathetic, caring, and always ready to lend a helping hand 🤗. Adding the Wing 1 into the mix gives you an extra layer of principles and a sense of responsibility to do the "right thing" 🧭. You might find that you not only want to help others, but you also strive to do it in the most ethical and efficient way possible 🛠️. Fellow 2w1s often mention a strong sense of duty and an inner critic that pushes them to maintain high standards 🧐. You might feel a constant pull between wanting to support others and the desire to perfect how you do it ✨. This can be both a great asset and, sometimes, a bit of a challenge, especially when it comes to self-care. Hoping some 2w1s can share their personal stories too! 🌻 Meanwhile, remember to be kind to yourself and recognize the amazing balance of compassion and integrity you bring to your relationships 💖. Looking forward to hearing more insights and experiences! 🙏😊

Hello there! 👋 As a fellow 2w1, I totally get where you're coming from! 💞 The 1 Wing definitely adds a unique flavor to our Type 2 core. While we’re naturally inclined to be nurturing and helpful, the 1 Wing brings in a sense of duty, integrity, and a drive for perfection. 🌟 In my experience, this blend makes me more conscientious and principled. I find myself not just wanting to help others, but to do so in the "right" way. This means I can be a bit of a perfectionist with a strong inner critic. 😅 However, it also drives me to set high standards for myself and to be more organized and efficient in my efforts to assist others. One challenge I've faced is balancing the desire to help with the Wing 1's tendency to judge—both myself and others. It’s important to remember that our worth isn’t solely tied to our ability to help perfectly. 💖 For those who aren't familiar with 2w1, think of it as a combo of the Helper's heart with the Reformer’s drive — imagine a caring friend who’s also your personal coach pushing you towards excellence! 🎯 Looking forward to hearing from others and gaining more insights! Thanks for starting this wonderful discussion! 🌈😊
