So interested in learning more about Type 2w1! How does wing one influence the "Helper" type's behavior and thought patterns? In what ways do these individuals blend their need to help with a strong sense of moral duty and perfectionism? Do they experience internal conflicts between pleasing people (Type 2) and adhering to personal standards (Wing 1)? Love to hear real-life experiences or insights from any 2w1s out there!😊📚 #Enneagram #Type2w1

As a 2w1, I often struggle with setting boundaries. My desire to help others and be useful often leads to overcommitting and burnout. I find it hard to say "no" because I fear disappointing people or not living up to their expectations. My Type 1 wing adds a layer of perfectionism, making me feel guilty if I'm not meeting high standards, both mine and others'. How can I create healthier boundaries and balance my need to help with self-care, without feeling like I'm letting people down? Any practical tips from fellow 2w1s or other types would be appreciated. Thanks! 🌟

I've been exploring Enneagram Type 2 with a 1 wing (2w1) and I'm curious about how others experience this combination. How do you balance the nurturing, people-pleasing aspects of a Type 2 with the perfectionist, idealistic traits of the 1 wing? Any tips on managing the internal conflict between wanting to help others and maintaining high personal standards? Also, how do you practice self-care and set boundaries without feeling guilty? Would love to hear your experiences and advice! 🌟👥🧘‍♀️

Curious about the dynamics of a 2w1. How do you balance the desire to help others (Type 2) with the inner moral compass (wing 1)? 🤔 Do you find that the 1 wing amplifies your need to "correct" or "guide" others to what you believe is right? Or does it help you set boundaries for yourself? I'm particularly interested in how this plays out in relationships and work settings. Would love to hear personal experiences and any advice on managing these sometimes conflicting drives!

Does anyone with a 2w1 identify more with Type 1 traits in certain situations? 🤔 I'm a 2w1 and often find myself driven by an intense need to "fix" things, coupled with a strong sense of duty and perfectionism. Balancing the nurturing side of Type 2 with the critical, principled side of Type 1 can be confusing. How do you navigate these dual influences in relationships or work? Do you feel the 1 wing amplifies or conflicts with your Type 2 tendencies? Any personal insights or strategies would be appreciated! 🌟 #enneagram #2w1 #selfdiscovery

As a 2w1, my drive to help others often feels overwhelming. I constantly prioritize others' needs above my own, leaving me drained and resentful at times. My One wing pushes for perfection, making it hard to accept help or delegate tasks. Balancing self-care while honoring my desire to serve is a struggle. How can I set healthier boundaries without feeling guilty or diminishing my sense of purpose? Any tips from fellow 2w1s on finding equilibrium and self-worth in both giving and receiving would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Curious about the key differences between a 2w1 and a 2w3? 💭 I've recently discovered I'm a Type 2 with a 1 wing, and while I resonate with the Type 2's focus on helping others, I also notice a strong sense of duty and moral integrity. However, I see some 2w3 traits in me too, like wanting to be admired. How do you balance these characteristics, and what are some real-life examples of how these wings manifest differently in behavior and relationships? Any tips on how to lean into the strengths of a 2w1 specifically? Looking forward to your insights! #Enneagram #Type2 #2w1
