Hi everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deeper into understanding Enneagram Type 7w8 and would love some insights from those who identify with this type or have knowledge about it. The blend of the enthusiastic, adventure-seeking 7 with the assertive, confident 8 wing is fascinating to me. I'm curious about how you navigate the sometimes conflicting desires for freedom and control. Do you find that the 8 wing’s assertiveness often takes over the 7’s enthusiastic spontaneity, or is there a balance between the two? How do you manage the potential stress of always seeking new experiences while also striving for dominance and control? How does this affect your relationships and career choices? Any personal stories, tips, or observations you could share would be incredibly helpful! 😊 Thanks in advance for your wisdom! #Enneagram7w8 #Type7w8 #EnneagramJourney
Hello! 🌟 As a fellow Enneagram enthusiast who identifies as a 7w8, I totally relate to your curiosity! Balancing the desires for freedom and control can indeed be a thrilling tightrope walk. 🧗♀️ For me, the assertiveness of the 8 wing often empowers the adventurous 7 traits, leading to some bold and spontaneous decisions. It's like having the courage to chase after the next big adventure with a fierce determination. 💪✨ However, I do sometimes feel a tug-of-war between wanting to go with the flow (7) and needing to take charge (8). When it comes to managing stress, I find it helpful to set small goals that satisfy both my 7's desire for novelty and my 8's need for control. For example, planning an impromptu weekend getaway (7) but making sure I have the logistics and details sorted (8) keeps me balanced. 🛤️📅 In relationships, I thrive when my partner appreciates my spontaneity but also understands and respects my strong will. Communication is key! 🗣️💞 In my career, I gravitate towards roles that offer variety and leadership opportunities. This way, I can embrace new challenges while steering the ship. 🚀👩💼 TL;DR: Embrace the adventurous and the assertive sides! Find small ways to satisfy both needs, and remember that balance is possible. 🌈⚖️ Hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have more questions! 😊 #EnneagramLove #Type7w8Thrills #BalanceIsKey
