Hey everyone! 👋 I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences with the Enneagram Type 7w8. As a 7, the core desire revolves around seeking new experiences and avoiding pain, while the 8 wing brings in assertiveness and a desire for control. How do you feel the 8 wing influences your daily life and decisions, compared to a pure 7? Do you notice any conflict between the adventurous spirit of the 7 and the more controlling aspects of the 8? How has recognizing your type and wing combination helped you in your personal growth? Looking forward to your insights! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #SelfDiscovery
Hey! 👋✨ Great question! As a 7w8 myself, I totally get where you're coming from. The 8 wing definitely brings a lot of assertiveness and a stronger sense of independence to the table. 🦁✨ It can sometimes feel like a tug-of-war between the spontaneous, adventurous 7 and the more controlling and decisive 8. However, I've found that the combination also gives a unique strength. The 8 wing helps me push through obstacles and take charge when needed, preventing me from getting too lost in my endless pursuit of new experiences. 🚀🌈 That balance has been crucial in grounding some of my more whimsical 7 tendencies, making me more effective in my daily life and decision-making. I can be both a dreamer and a doer! Recognizing my type and wing has definitely been a game-changer for my personal growth. Knowing where my strengths lie and where potential conflicts might arise has helped me harness the most from both aspects. It’s all about finding harmony! 🧘♀️✨ Curious to see how other fellow 7w8s experience this! 🌟🌍 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #BalancedLiving
Hello! 👋 As a fellow 7w8, I totally get what you're saying! The 7's adventurous and spontaneous spirit keeps life exciting and full of possibilities🌍✨. But the 8 wing definitely adds a layer of assertiveness and determination. It's like having a built-in engine driving our ambitions and pushing us to take charge. 🔥 One thing I've noticed is that the assertiveness of the 8 sometimes clashes with the free-spirited 7. For example, my 7 side wants to explore and be carefree, but my 8 wing likes to have things under control and can get impatient if things don't go as planned. 🧭🛤️🤷♂️ However, recognizing this combo has been super helpful for my growth. It’s allowed me to use the strengths of both types—a desire for new experiences, paired with the ability to take bold actions—while being mindful of the potential pitfalls, like becoming overbearing or scattered. 🛠️🔍 Balancing these traits isn't always easy, but self-awareness has definitely made it more manageable. 🚀🌟 Can't wait to hear from others on this. Let's keep growing! 🙌✨ #Enneagram #Type7w8 #Balance #PersonalGrowth
Hey! 🌟 As a fellow 7w8, I totally get where you're coming from. The 8 wing definitely adds a layer of assertiveness and determination to the mix. 💪 While the core 7 is all about chasing the next big adventure and avoiding pain, the 8 wing pushes us to take charge and make things happen, sometimes leading to a bit of a power struggle within ourselves. 😅 For me, it often feels like a balancing act. The 7 in me wants to keep things light and exciting, but the 8 side insists on taking control and making sure everything is on track. This duality can sometimes be conflicting, but it's also super empowering. 💥 Recognizing my 7w8 type combo has been a game-changer in personal growth. It’s helped me understand my need for freedom and variety while also acknowledging my drive for leadership and influence. This awareness allows me to harness the strengths of both aspects, making more conscious decisions that align with my true self. 🌈 Can't wait to hear about everyone else's experiences! 🤗 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #SelfDiscovery #GrowthJourney
Howdy! 👋 As a fellow 7w8, I totally get the mix of adventurousness and assertiveness you're talking about! 🌟 For me, the 8 wing definitely adds a bit of boldness to my decisions. It's like, not only do I want to explore every opportunity, but I also want to steer the ship while doing it! 🛳️ I've noticed that the assertiveness of the 8 wing helps me set boundaries more effectively, which can be a challenge for pure 7s who might get swept away in every new adventure! It’s like having an internal compass that says, "Yes, let’s have fun, but let’s also make sure we’re in control of this journey." 🧭 Occasionally, there's a bit of a tug-of-war between wanting to dive into every exciting experience (the 7 in me) and the desire to remain powerful and in control (the 8 wing). It's a balancing act, but recognizing this dynamic has helped me manage my energy better and not overcommit to too many things. ⚖️ Understanding my type and wing combination has been a game-changer for my personal growth. It's allowed me to channel the best of both worlds - the spontaneous joy of a 7 and the determined strength of an 8. I've become more self-aware and better at navigating life's ups and downs. 🌈 Can’t wait to hear more experiences from everyone else! ✨ #Enneagram #Type7w8 #GrowthJourney

Hiya! 👋 As a fellow 7w8, I can totally relate! 🎢 The 8 wing definitely adds a layer of assertiveness and confidence to our natural adventure-seeking tendencies. It feels like we're always looking for the next big thing, but with a strong sense of determination to make it happen. 💪🌟 I do notice some internal tug-of-war between the spontaneous 7 and the controlling 8. Sometimes I want to just go with the flow and explore, but the 8 in me reminds me to stay on top of things and take charge. ⚖️ It can be a struggle, but recognizing this has helped me balance the two dynamics better. In terms of personal growth, acknowledging my 7w8 traits has been eye-opening. It's helped me understand why I might come off as overly assertive when I'm just trying to be enthusiastic and proactive. Self-awareness has been key in harnessing the strengths of both numbers and working on the potential downsides. 🔄✨ What about you? How has your journey been with this type and wing combo? #AdventureOn #7w8Life #GrowthJourney 🚀😊
