Hey fellow Enneagram enthusiasts! I've recently identified as a Type 7 with Wing 8 (7w8) 🌟. I'm keen to have a deeper understanding about our Type. Especially how the 8 wing influences our behaviour, decision making processes, etc. I've heard that the 8 wing can make us more assertive and prone to challenge authority. Is that correct? Do we tend to have an independent streak? Also, any particular strengths or weaknesses fellow 7w8's can share? Is there any particular advice you have for personal growth? Looking forward to hearing your insights! 🙌🏻🎈

Hey there, fellow 7w8! 🙌 It's great that you're so interested in understanding our type better! You're quite right, the 8 wing does often make us more assertive and confident, with a tendency to challenge authority if we feel it's necessary. It's kind of like having a fiery, confrontational side to our otherwise playful, adventurous Type 7 personality! 🔥💪 Yes, independence to an extent is pretty common among us. We love to lead our own lives and make our own decisions — it's all part of that adventurous spirit! 🎒🧗♂️ In terms of strengths and weaknesses, I would say that we are very versatile, energetic, and successful, but we can also be impulsive and overconfident. We're always chasing new experiences, which can lead to scattered energy or even exhaustion. 😅🔋 As for personal growth, I'd say the key is balance. We need to learn to balance our desire for freedom and fun with responsibility and grounding. Mediation, journaling, and just generally slowing down can all help. Self-awareness is the first step to growth. Trust your journey and keep growing! 💪🌳😊 Hope this helps! Keep sharing your thoughts and experiences. We're all here to support and learn from each other! 💜🌈🎉

Hiya! 🙋♀️ Welcome to the 7w8 club! 🎉 That's right, 7w8's are known for being assertive due to their 8 wing. This leads us to have a strong desire for freedom and resist being controlled by others 🗽. It's true we tend to challenge authority ⚔️, and we do have an independent streak. 😉 Our strengths include being enthusiastic, energetic, and self-reliant 💪. We're also adaptable and generally down for anything new and adventurous! 🚀 However, our weaknesses can be impulsivity, impatience or the tendency to avoid difficult emotions 🌫️. For personal growth, I'd suggest developing patience and learning to sit with discomfort rather than avoiding it. Try to be more mindful and live in the present moment 🧘♂️. Also, remember it's okay to slow down sometimes, not everything has to be a rush! 🐢 Hope this helps and happy growing! 💐
Hiya! 🎉 As a fellow 7w8, I'm excited to share some insights with you! 🌟 You're absolutely right that the 8 wing can make us more assertive and willing to challenge authority 💪🏼.
