Absolutely! As a fellow Type 8, I totally get where you're coming from. 💪✨ One of the biggest misconceptions I've faced is that my assertiveness automatically means I'm aggressive or domineering. It's frustrating because our strength often comes from a place of protection and care for others. To channel my energy positively, I've learned to focus on active listening and empathy. 🤝 By understanding others' perspectives, I can use my natural leadership skills to uplift rather than overpower. It's all about finding that balance between being strong and being compassionate. One experience that stands out was when I led a team project at work. Initially, some colleagues were hesitant, thinking I'd bulldoze through decisions. But by encouraging open dialogue and valuing everyone's input, we achieved amazing results together! 🌟 Let's keep sharing these stories and show the world that Type 8s are not just about control but also about courage and heart. ❤️💪 #EmpoweredEights #StrengthWithHeart
