Enneagram Type and Wing 2w3

Polaris • 5/29/2024 7:12:09 PM

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been diving deep into the Enneagram, and as a 2w3, I'm intrigued by how our wings shape our core type. As a 2w3, I understand that the mix of the helper (2) with the achiever (3) can create a dynamic blend of genuine care for others and a strong drive to succeed. However, sometimes I struggle to balance these aspects, finding myself overextending in both areas, or feeling conflicted between my needs and others’. I’m really curious to hear from other 2w3s—how do you manage the balance between your desire to help and your ambition? Do you have any specific strategies or experiences you'd like to share that have helped you maintain this balance? Also, how do you cope with the potential burnout that comes with the constant push to achieve and assist? I’d love to hear about any self-care routines that work well for you. Thank you! 😊 Looking forward to your insights and tips! Cheers,

Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deep into the Enneagram and recently discovered I might be a 2w3. I'm curious to hear from others who identify with this type and wing combination. How do you experience the balance between the nurturing and helper tendencies of Type 2 and the ambitious, success-oriented traits of the 3 wing? 🤔 For those who are 2w3, do you find certain environments or situations that bring out one side more than the other? How do you maintain healthy boundaries while still pursuing personal and professional goals? Any tips or strategies for managing the desire to help others while also striving for personal achievement? Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences! 😊 Best,

Hello everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the dynamics of being a 2w3. For those of you who identify as a 2 with a 3 wing, how do you balance the core desire to help others (Type 2) with the ambition and success-oriented traits of the 3 wing? 🏆 I'd love to hear about your personal experiences—whether in relationships, work, or personal growth.

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m delving deeper into the Enneagram and I’m fascinated by Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3). I’ve read that this combination merges the helpful, empathetic nature of a 2 with the ambitious, success-oriented traits of a 3. For those of you who identify as 2w3, how do you experience this dynamic in your daily life? Do you find the 3 wing influencing your need for recognition and achievement? How do you balance the urge to help others with your own personal goals? I’d love to hear personal stories or any strategies you use to navigate the strengths and challenges of being a 2w3. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been exploring my Enneagram type and recently discovered I'm a 2w3. I'm finding it fascinating but also a bit confusing to fully understand the nuances between Type 2 and its 3 wing. How do you all experience the blend of the Helper's need for love and connection with the Achiever's drive for success and validation? Sometimes I feel caught between wanting to support others and also striving to be seen and appreciated for my efforts. Any tips or personal experiences on how to balance these aspects in daily life? How do you manage the potential internal conflict or harness both energies effectively? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any advice on leveraging strengths or navigating challenges unique to 2w3s. Thanks in advance! 🌟✨ #Enneagram #2w3 #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m curious about the dynamics of a 2w3 in both personal and professional settings. If you’re a Type 2 with a 3 wing, or if you know someone who is, can you share your experiences on how this combination influences your relationships and career? For instance, do the ambitious traits of the 3 wing conflict with the 2’s desire to help and support others? How do you find balance between seeking external approval and maintaining genuine connections? I’d also love to hear about any growth strategies or challenges you’ve faced. Any insights, anecdotes, or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 🌟

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m relatively new to the Enneagram and have been diving deep into understanding my type. I’ve identified as a 2w3 and would love some insights from others who share this wing combination. For those of you who are also 2w3, what has your journey been like in balancing the inherent nurturing qualities of Type 2 with the achievement-oriented traits of the 3 wing? How do you manage the drive to help others while simultaneously striving for success and recognition? Additionally, I’m curious about the growth and stress points specific to this combination. What strategies have you found effective in moving towards growth (aligning more with the positive aspects of Type 4) and avoiding the pitfalls (like people-pleasing and losing oneself in the pursuit of external validation)? Would love to hear your experiences, tips, and any resources that have been particularly helpful on your Enneagram journeys. Thanks in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #Type2w3 #PersonalGrowth

Hello Enneagram Enthusiasts! 👋 I’ve recently identified as a Type 2w3 and have been diving deep into understanding my core motivations, strengths, and areas for growth. I resonate with the nurturing and empathetic nature of Type 2, but I also see a lot of the achieving, image-focused aspects of Type 3 in myself. For those of you who are also 2w3s, I have a few questions: 1. How do you balance your desire to help others (Type 2) with your ambition and need for recognition (Type 3)? 2. Have you found specific strategies or practices that help you manage burnout, given our tendency to overextend ourselves in both helping and achieving? 3. How do you navigate relationships, ensuring you're not just focusing on others' needs but also taking care of your own? 4. Any tips on personal growth for a 2w3, especially in staying authentic and not losing oneself in the pursuit of success or approval? Looking forward to your insights and experiences! 🌟 Thanks in advance! 😊

Hey everyone! 🌟 I’m curious to learn more about the Enneagram Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3). I understand the basics: Type 2s are often referred to as the Helper, known for their empathy and desire to support others, and the 3 wing, which is known as the Achiever, adds a drive for success and recognition. But I’d love to hear more about how this combination plays out in real life. How do you, or someone you know with a 2w3 personality, manage the balance between helping others and pursuing personal achievements? Do you find that the 3 wing’s ambition sometimes conflicts with the 2’s need to care for others, or do they complement each other well? Feel free to share any personal experiences, challenges, or insights! I’m especially interested in hearing about how this type/wing impacts career choices, relationships, and personal growth. Any strategies for managing the unique strengths and potential pitfalls of a 2w3 would be greatly appreciated. 😊 Thanks in advance for your input! #Enneagram #Type2w3 #ForumQuestion
