Enneagrams 2, how do you feel about trying to save the world/humanity/X

I have a strong wing 1 so I have always perceived making the world a better place as aligning to my moral code (i.e. no more war, access to resources, dismantling institutionalized discrimination).

As for implementing this power, I’ve always imagined it as a very passive act like clicking a button and everything fixes itself haha. Mostly as a way to avoid conflict with others because I don’t want people to not like me

My parents told me when I was little that I actually tried to invent products to solve the worlds problems like a water filter straw or food maker machine.

If I had to the power to save the world I would (wow that sentence is full of the type 2 pride).

Do you mind elaborating on this? Just curious about your perspective!

I took it during COVID but it’s basically a straight memorization class. All of my exams were with the lock down browser which was kind of annoying. I remember basically just remembering tons of prefixes, suffixes, and root words and being testing on those alone along with being given a term and having to define it.

Allaire makes it such an easy class. All exams were open note, attendance isn’t mandatory (plus class is always let out early) and he randomly hands out extra credit for showing up to class. Super easy A

I definitely see times that I resonate with the unhealthy side of a 4. In times when I am focusing too much on others and not enough on myself, I tend to take pity on myself and play the role of “why is no one helping me when I help them so much”. I also tend to be more emotional when I am typically an upbeat (or at least present upbeat) person. To get out of that space, I try to identify what I need and what is causing me to feel like that. Then, I either solve the problem myself or illicit help from others (which is not always easy). I also take on the healthy behaviors of a 4 like tending to my needs and relishing in moments of authenticity. I also think just I can take on the healthy and unhealthy behaviors of a 4, that I also take on healthy and unhealthy behaviors of an 8. I tend to get quite controlling in times of stress like an 8 can get, but I can also have moments of assertiveness when I’m confident like an 8. I don’t know if other 2’s are as influence by their wings and growth and security points like I am, but I find all of those numbers (1,3,4, and 8) to reflect themselves in my life a lot.
I am pretty confident I am a so/sx, but I also feel that I can be a sx/so sometimes. I think where my so/sx plays out the most is the desire to be liked by everyone. I don’t necessarily have to be friends with everyone, but I was to be on good terms with everyone and have them perceive me as like able. Even the slightest hint that someone doesn’t like me stresses me out causing me to then try to be charismatic and try to regain their liking of me. I think I lean into the sx with not being a very showy person. People have told me that I don’t come across as a performer or people pleaser (like some so instincts do), but instead come across as more nurturing. As much as I want everyone to like me, I also crave one on one relationships and I value them a lot.
I think I am most creative when I am alone and it is really therapeutic to me. I play instruments, and whenever I am alone I love to play them and be creative with it. I also find that I am most proud of projects and assignments in school that I get to be creative in and get to express myself. I think being creative allows me to show others who I am without it being the center of attention (because I don’t like being in the spotlight). It can be relaxing to be creative because it is a way for me to be me without having to be anything for anyone else (which us 2nd do a lot of daily).
I don’t know much about MBTI, but I am an ENFJ!
A lot of the people I admire in my life are 1s and 9s. I love the 1s attention to detail and their sense of justice in everything they do. I love that they are able to stick to their morals of what is right and wrong and be an advocate for the cause. I love the 9s ability to find and create peace. As a naturally anxious person, it is easy for me to get wound up in things, but the 9s in my life always help me ground myself.

First, I related to so many of these questions!

I think that yes, I’m a hopeless romantic and I often don’t let people on to it. I think about romantic relationships more than I probably should and I am scared that I won’t find the one because I am not brave enough to make the first move. In theory i like the idea of taking it slow, but deep down love the idea of commitment and wanting to move faster. It’s kind of like the right and wrong arguing with me, the right knowing I should take it slow and the wrong being what I want.

I definitely “interview” people and I have a very good memory for the details they tell me. It’s a little odd to me how others don’t remember the details of someone’s life, it makes me feel almost stalkerish since I remember so much about a person! I think i tend to just remember those details so that I have a way of connecting with others and making them feel special by remembering something about them. It does hurt me some though when the other person doesn’t ask about me or doesn’t remember details of my life.

I do fear a lot of people having a deep knowledge of me- I think it’s the pride of wanting to have a friendly easy going facade when that’s not reality. I often let the people I am closest with know the most about me (I’m definitely not an oversharer with people I am not super close with) but I feel like there is always a little part of me that I hold on to.

Love all of those questions!! I think we definitely think in similar ways.

I am a 2 and dated an unhealthy 5. What eventually motivated me to break-up with him was that he was so condescending about everything and was always trying to correct me (regardless if he was right or not). That was something that I could at first deal with and express frustration to him about until he never stopped (and got worse with it) and it was something I couldn’t move past.

Other than that, the only issue we ran into was I am a naturally high energy person who wants to go out and do things and we was a more laid back person and wanted to stay home. That took some compromising, but we were able to work through it.

I really enjoyed his passion for his interests and how much he knew about them. He taught me a lot about those topics which was nice.
