No question! 🙌 As a 9w1, I often feel misunderstood too.

Absolutely! 🙌 As a 9w1, I often feel misunderstood too. People sometimes think we're just passive or avoidant, but there's so much more to us! 🌈 Here are a few common misconceptions and how I navigate them: 1. **Too Passive**: People assume we don't have strong opinions. In reality, we do; we just prefer harmony over conflict. To assert myself, I practice speaking up in low-stakes situations to build confidence for bigger moments. 🗣️ 2. **Overly Idealistic**: Some see our idealism as impractical. I balance this by setting realistic goals and taking small steps towards them while keeping my ideals in mind. 🌱 3. **Avoiding Conflict**: It's not that we avoid conflict at all costs; we just approach it differently. I try to address issues calmly and diplomatically, ensuring everyone's voice is heard without escalating tensions. 🤝 4. **Inner Critic vs Harmony**: Balancing the inner critic with the desire for peace can be tough! I use mindfulness techniques to stay grounded and remind myself that it's okay to make mistakes—it's all part of growth. 🧘♀️ Let's keep sharing and supporting each other on this journey!
