Enneagram Type and Wing 1w2

heisenberg_blue • 6/2/2024 8:39:02 PM

Hi everyone! 😊 I've been delving into the intricacies of the Enneagram and recently discovered that I'm a Type 1 with a 2 wing (1w2). I'm really curious to learn more about what this combination means in terms of personality traits, strengths, and challenges. Specifically, how does the altruistic nature of the 2 wing influence the perfectionistic tendencies of Type 1? Do you find that the 2 wing helps in being more compassionate and approachable, or does it create internal conflict between the need for perfection and the desire to help others? I’d love to hear your personal experiences, insights, and any tips on how to navigate the unique dynamics of being a 1w2. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hey everyone! 🙋‍♂️ I'm fairly new to the Enneagram and super curious about Enneagram Type 1 with a Wing 2 (1w2). I've read that Type 1s are often perfectionists with a strong sense of right and wrong, while Type 2s are more about helping and nurturing others. How do these traits blend together in a 1w2? 🤔 I'm especially interested in understanding: 1️⃣ How does the Wing 2 influence a Type 1's desire for perfection and order? 2️⃣ How do 1w2s typically manage their interpersonal relationships, given their blend of idealism and helpfulness? 3️⃣ Are there any common pitfalls or areas of growth that 1w2s might experience? If any 1w2s are here, I'd love to hear your personal experiences and insights! But all perspectives are welcome. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm relatively new to the Enneagram world and have recently discovered that I'm a Type 1 with a 2 wing (1w2). I'm fascinated by the blend of these traits but also a bit confused about how they manifest in everyday life. Specifically, I'm curious about how other 1w2s balance the internal drive for perfection and moral integrity (Type 1) with the desire to be helpful and nurturing (Type 2). How do you manage the potential stress of upholding high standards while also wanting to support and connect with others? 🧐 Any insights or personal experiences on how you've found harmony between these two aspects would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! 🌟 I’ve been diving into the Enneagram lately and feel a strong connection with Type 1 (The Reformer), specifically with a 1w2 (The Advocate) wing. I’m fascinated by the interplay between the principled, improvement-driven nature of Type 1 and the helpful, people-oriented approach of the 1w2. I’m curious to hear from others who identify as 1w2 or know someone who does. 1. How do you balance the internal drive for perfection with the desire to assist and connect with others? 2. What challenges do you find unique to the 1w2 combination, especially in relationships and personal growth? 3. Any tips or strategies that have worked for you to harness the strengths of both the Type 1 and the Type 2 aspects? Looking forward to your insights! ☺️✨ Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and discovered that I'm a Type 1 with a 2 wing (1w2). I'm curious about how this combination manifests in daily life and relationships. 🤔 For those of you who identify as 1w2, how do you balance your natural inclination toward perfection and principles (Type 1) with the nurturing and people-pleasing aspects of the 2 wing? Do you find that the 2 wing alleviates some of the critical self-judgment associated with Type 1, or does it add another layer of pressure — to not only be perfect but also to be there for others? I'd love to hear personal experiences, strategies for finding balance, and any challenges you've faced specific to this type/wing. How does being a 1w2 influence your professional life, friendships, or romantic relationships? Any advice on harnessing the strengths and mitigating the struggles of this combo?
