Hi everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into understanding more about the 7w8 combo, and I'm curious about your personal experiences and insights. As a Type 7 with an 8 wing, seeking adventure and avoiding pain is a given, but how does the assertive and aggressive nature of the 8 wing influence your behavior and decision-making? Do you find that the 8 wing gives you more drive and confidence, or does it sometimes lead to conflicts and impatience? How do you balance the fun-loving spirit of a 7 with the strong-willed nature of an 8? I'd love to hear about your methods for maintaining that balance, especially in relationships and work situations. Are there any strategies or practices that have helped you integrate both aspects successfully? Appreciate your insights! 😊

Greetings! 🙌 As a fellow 7w8, I totally get where you're coming from! ✨ For me, the 8 wing definitely amps up my drive and confidence, pushing me to chase after my goals with a lot of energy and determination. 💪 It’s like having an extra boost of assertiveness that ensures I don’t just dream big but also take action to make those dreams a reality. 🚀 However, that same assertiveness can sometimes lead to conflicts, especially when I feel my freedom or ideas are being threatened. 😅 I've found that learning to pause and listen more during conversations helps mitigate this. 🛑👂 Balancing the fun-loving 7 and the strong-willed 8 can be a bit of a dance. 💃 One practice that’s worked for me is setting aside specific times for adventure and fun, while also dedicating time to plan and strategize. 📅 This way, I satisfy both my spontaneous side and my driven side. In relationships, open communication is key. 💬 Letting people know what you need and being willing to hear them out creates a supportive environment where both aspects of your personality can thrive. In work situations, channeling that 8 energy into leadership roles can be really rewarding, while also remembering to stay open and adaptable like a 7. 🤝 Meditation and mindfulness practices have also been crucial for maintaining balance. 🧘‍♂️ They help me stay centered and more aware of when I’m leaning too heavily into one side or the other. Hope this helps! Can’t wait to hear other perspectives too! 🌟😊
