Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deeper into understanding my type and wing as a 2w3, and I’d appreciate some insights and experiences from others who identify with this combination. As a 2w3, I've noticed a strong desire to connect and help others, coupled with an ambition to achieve and be recognized for my efforts. Sometimes it feels like a balancing act between genuine altruism and the need for validation and success. How do you other 2w3s navigate this dynamic? Do you have strategies for maintaining a healthy balance? Also, have you found certain practices helpful in managing potential stress or burnout from constantly giving and striving? Looking forward to your thoughts and stories! Thanks a bunch! 💖

Hi everyone! 🌟 I'm curious to learn more about the Type 2w3 dynamic within the Enneagram framework. Type 2s are known for their nurturing and supportive nature, often called "The Helpers." With the 3-wing, which adds ambition and a drive for success, I'm interested in understanding how these traits blend and manifest in daily life 🤔. 1. How do you, or people you know with a 2w3 personality, balance the need to help others while pursuing personal goals and achievements? 2. Can the influence of the 3-wing sometimes conflict with the selfless nature of Type 2? How do you navigate that? 3. Are there specific challenges or strengths you attribute to the 2w3 combination that distinguish it from a core Type 2 or a 2w1? Any insights, personal stories, or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom and experiences 😊. Looking forward to the discussion! Warm regards,

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm diving deep into understanding Enneagram Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3) and would love some insights from the community. From what I gather, Type 2s are known for their nurturing and supportive nature, always eager to help others. Meanwhile, the 3 wing seems to add a layer of ambition and a desire for achievement and recognition. How does the blend of these characteristics play out in real life for a 2w3? In what ways do you find the balance between being selfless and striving for personal success? Also, how does this combination impact your relationships and professional life? Would love to hear personal experiences, challenges, and growth strategies from fellow 2w3s or those who know one well. 😊 Thanks in advance for sharing! #Enneagram #Type2w3 #SelfGrowth #CommunitySupport

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm relatively new to the Enneagram and I'm delving into the complexities of Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3). I understand that Type 2s are known for their generosity and desire to help others, while the 3 wing brings a drive for success and achievement. I'm curious about how these characteristics blend together in practical, everyday scenarios. For those of you who identify as 2w3, how do you balance your innate desire to assist others with your ambitions and personal goals? Do you ever find it challenging to maintain healthy boundaries or to prioritize self-care amidst your helping tendencies and drive for recognition? How does the 3 wing influence your interactions and relationships, both positively and negatively? Specific examples or personal anecdotes would be greatly appreciated. Also, any tips on managing potential stress points or pitfalls for a 2w3? Looking forward to hearing your insights! 🌟 Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! Recently, I've discovered my Enneagram type and wing - I'm a 2w3. I understand that 2's are 'the helpers', and I resonate strongly with this. However, I'm a little unclear about the influence of my 3 wing. 🤔 If I get it correctly, type 3's are success-oriented so I guess adding the 3 wing should lead to ambitious and career-focused tendencies. Yet, I am not sure how these characteristics blend together with the 2's inclination towards helping others. If there are any 2w3's out there who could explain their experiences, that would be wonderful. How do you balance the seemingly contradictory motivations of wanting to help others (2) while aiming for personal success (3)? Is there a pattern you've noticed? Or if anyone else has insights or suggestions on understanding this type and wing, it would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 🙏

Hi everyone! 😊 I've recently taken the enneagram test and found myself as a type 2, with a 3 wing (2w3). While I'm excited to learn about my personal self-insight, I'm still a little unsure exactly what the nuances of a 2w3 are. 🧐 What are common attributes of this type and wing? How do they interact with each other, and is the difference notable compared to a 2w1? Any resources for better understanding would also be deeply appreciated. 🙏🏼 Looking forward to your insights! #Enneagram #2w3

Subject: Identifying Traits of Enneagram 2w3? Ideas and Experiences? Hello everyone!☺️ I've been doing some introspective work lately and believe that my Enneagram classification is a Type 2 with a 3 wing, or 2w3. I know that Type 2 is the 'Helper' and often embodies traits of being caring, interpersonal, and generous. From what I understand, people with 3 wing add a desire to be admired, success-oriented, and are more extroverted. 🌟 I relate to these traits, but I'm still eager to understand more about the 2w3 combination. Does anyone have personal experiences they could share living as a 2w3, or insights on key traits? What challenges or growth areas should someone like me be aware of? Also, with the three wing, does it considerably affect the helper nature of the 2 or is it just a slight influence? I'm trying to understand the balance between the main Type and the Wing. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏😊

Hi all! I've recently discovered that I'm a Type 2 (The Helper) with a 3 wing on the Enneagram. Briefly, it means I have a strong desire to help others and gain validation. Yet with the 3 wing, I find I'm also quite ambitious and achievement-oriented. I'm struggling with feeling as though these two sides are at odds with each other. Does infusing my ambition with the helping hand of type 2 make it feel less genuine? 🤔 And, how does the balance work? Are there any other 2w3s out there who can shed light on this? How do you embrace both aspects of your personality without conflict? I would love to hear your experiences and insights. Thanks! 🙂

Hello everyone 🙋♀️ I'm a bit new to understanding the Enneagram Types and Wings. I've finally discovered that I'm a Type 2w3, which means I'm fundamentally a Helper, but with a considerable amount of Achiever in my personality as well. However, I'm still a bit confused about how this combination works together. Can anyone help me better understand more about the dynamic between my main type 2 and its wing 3? What strengths and potential challenges might be in the mix for a 2w3? And how will understanding this better help in my self-development journey?🌠 Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #Type2w3
