Enneagram Type and Wing 2w1

PoppinLikePinkChampagne • 5/15/2024 10:49:08 AM

Hey everyone! 😊 I’m diving deeper into my Enneagram journey and am particularly fascinated by the 2w1 type. I understand that Type 2s, the Helpers, are naturally empathetic and nurturing, while the 1 wing adds a sense of idealism and a desire for integrity. My question is for those of you who identify as 2w1 or have a deep understanding of this type: How do you balance your inherent need to help others with your 1 wing’s drive for perfection and ethical standards? Have you faced any specific challenges, and what strategies have you found effective in maintaining harmony between these traits? I’d love to hear your personal experiences, insights, and any advice you might have for navigating this unique combination. Thanks in advance for sharing! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type2w1 #PersonalGrowth #SelfAwareness

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram and I'm especially curious about the Type 2 with a 1 wing (2w1). From what I've gathered, the 2w1 is described as The Servant, combining the nurturing, helpful nature of Type 2 with the principled, perfectionistic traits of Type 1. This seems like a fascinating blend of qualities! For those of you who identify as 2w1 or know someone who does, could you share some insights? Specifically: 1. How do the traits of Type 1 influence your natural inclination to help others as a Type 2? 2. How do you balance the need to be needed (Type 2) with the desire to be morally right and conscientious (Type 1)? 3. Can you give examples of how these dynamics play out in your relationships or work life? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and tips on navigating the strengths and challenges of being a 2w1! Thanks in advance! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type2w1 #TheServant

Hello Enneagram community! 💡 As a recently discovered 2w1, it's been such an eye-opening experience understanding my personality more deeply. It's so accurate about me being caring yet striving for perfection. But I still got a few things that confuse me. Other 2w1s out there, how do you balance your natural tendency to help others (Type 2) with the rigorous pursuit of personal integrity and perfection (Type 1)? Also, I sometimes fear that I might overstep boundaries when supporting others with my 2w1 traits. Do you have any tips or advice on this matter? Additionally, how do you handle conflict situations? As 2w1 types, I understand we have trouble acknowledging our personal needs. So how you deal with confrontation without sacrificing your own needs or being overly critical of others? Any insights, personal experiences, or guiding thoughts are greatly appreciated! 🤗 Thank you in advance! #Enneagram #Type2w1 #PersonalGrowth

Hello fellow Enneagram-enthusiasts! 👋 I recently discovered I'm an Enneagram Type 2 with a 1 wing (2w1) and I'm really keen to get to know more about this specific type from your personal experiences and insights. 🌱 Can someone help me in understanding how the 'Helper' tendencies of Type 2 meld with the 'Perfectionist' aspects of Type 1 wing? I'm curious to see how this intersectionality manifests in daily life. Specifically, I’m wondering how these two tendencies might impact my relationships, personal growth and work life. 🤔 Further, does anyone have any literature 📚 or resources they would recommend for digging deeper into the 2w1 type? I feel it can be quite a distinctive combination and would love to learn more about it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 🙏👍 #Enneagram #2w1 #HelpandPerfectionism

Title: Understanding More About Enneagram Type 2w1 Hey All, 👋 I've recently learned that my enneagram type is 2w1 and I'm curious to know more about what this indicates. 😊 Being a Type 2, I identify with the description of being caring and interpersonal, but I'd like some more enlightenment on what the wing, 1, adds to my personality type. How does a 2w1 typically behave compared to a pure type 2 or perhaps a 2w3? Furthermore, I'd be extremely interested to know what kind of career paths, hobbies, etc. are likely to resonate with my enneagram type. Also, how do 2w1s typically handle stress and what strategies can be useful for us in maintaining emotional balance? Any input or insights from fellow 2w1s or anyone knowledgeable about enneagram theory would be highly appreciated. 🙏 Looking forward to your responses! Peace, 😇

Hello members! 👋 I'm recently introduced to the concept of the Enneagram and find it truly fascinating! After some self-reflection and assessment, I believe that I may be a Type 2 with a 1 wing (2w1). I would like to know more about the practical implications of this type. Can anyone here describe how a 2w1 tends to behave in personal relationships or work settings? Are there any typical strengths and weaknesses I should be aware of? Any advice on how to develop both Type 2 and 1 qualities more effectively is also welcome. 🤔 I'm eager to learn from your experiences and knowledge. Thanks! 😊🙏

Hello Everyone! 👋 I'm an Enneagram Type 2 with a 1 Wing (2w1). For a while now, I've been trying to understand how this combination influences my behavior, reactions, and relationships. I'm particularly interested in how the Wing 1 adds a different layer to the nurturing and helping nature of the Type 2. If there are any fellow 2w1 people out there, could you share your experiences? How do you feel this blend impacts you? And for those who are not 2w1 but are familiar with Enneagram, could you share any insights you have about this type/wing combination? Thanks in advance! 🙏😊

Hello Enneagram community! 😊 I've recently discovered that my Enneagram type is a 2w1 and it's been a really insightful experience to understand myself through this lens. I've noticed with a 2w1, the 'helper' aspect is quite dominant, but the 'perfectionist' wing also plays a significant role in shaping my behavior. One area confusion arises is in differentiating between when I'm portraying traits of type 2 or wing 1 or if they always coexist together. Could someone explain how these two aspects interplay in a typical 2w1? Any examples would be appreciated! Also, how does knowing you are a 2w1 affect your daily life or decision making? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Thank you! 🙏
