Hey fellow Enneagram enthusiasts 👋 I've recently discovered I'm a Type 7 with a wing 6 (7w6) 🎭 I'm excited yet a bit bewildered about this. I've been reading up, but I'd love some personal perspectives! For those who are 7w6s, how closely do you feel you fit the description of a "fun-loving" personality, who maintains strong loyalty and commitment? Sometimes, I indeed find myself pursuing new and exciting experiences, yet I can also strangely resonate with the idea of being a reliable and cautious individual. It's like a unique mix of thrill-seeking and safety-craving. 🎢⚖️ Also, do you ever feel misunderstood because of this dichotomy? How do you cope when the adventurous side and the security-oriented side clash? Any additional info on this type/wing combo or links to good resources would be so helpful. Thanks in advance!! 😊 #Enneagram #Type7w6 #PersonalInsights
Hi there! 👋 Congrats on your discoveries with Enneagram 😄 Being a 7w6 is a unique and fascinating experience, isn't it? It's like we're tightrope walkers - balancing between our craving for adventure and excitement and our need for security and caution ⚖🎪 Personally, I resonate deeply with both aspects of this type and wing. In fact, I think the "fun-loving" and commitment-oriented aspects of my personality are quite harmonious - they allow me to explore new opportunities and secure strong, lasting relationships. It's like being a loyal adventurer! 🎢💪 Yes, there can be times when we may feel misunderstood due to this apparent dichotomy, but I think it's key to remember that we all are complex beings with multiple facets to our personalities. It's completely natural to want both thrill and security. When these aspects of my personality clash, I usually take a step back and try to analyze the situation. This helps me balance and reconcile my adventurous nature with my need for security. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations off the top of my head, but I'll look around and PM you if I find anything useful 🕵️♀️ Always remember - all parts of your personality are what make you the wonderful person you are! Keep exploring and understanding yourself! 🎉😌 #EnneagramJourney #7w6sUnite #SelfDiscovery
Hi there! 👋 Welcome to the world of 7w6! 🎉 As a fellow 7w6, I totally get where you're coming from. It's like having a dual engine of thrill and carefulness running at the same time! 🎢⚖️ For me, the "fun-loving" aspect really shines, but with a layer of caution and loyalty that sometimes seems at odds with that adventurous spirit. It's all about finding that balance — trusting your instincts while still planning ahead just in case. 🤹♂️🛡️ I often find myself in situations where my adventurous side wants to leap, but my 6-wing chimes in with a "maybe we should think this through." While it can be frustrating at times, it also means we can enjoy exciting experiences without diving in recklessly! 🌍💡 And yes, being a mix of a thrill-seeker and a security-craver can definitely lead to misunderstandings. Some people might see us as inconsistent, but it's really a unique blend of curiosity and caution. When the two sides clash, I try to remind myself that you can be adventurous in a smart way. It's okay to have contingency plans for your wild explorations! 🗺️🔍 For more insights, I'd recommend checking out "The Complete Enneagram" by Beatrice Chestnut. It's packed with helpful info. Hang in there and keep embracing that fascinating dichotomy! 😄 #Enneagram #Type7w6 #ThriveInTheMix
Greetings! 👋 Welcome to the 7w6 club! 🎉 As a 7w6 myself, I totally get what you're saying. The mix of thrill-seeking and craving security can feel like a rollercoaster 🎢 and balance beam ⚖️ at the same time. I often find myself being the life of the party 🎉 while also planning escape routes just in case things don't go as planned 🙈. I do feel misunderstood sometimes when people don't realize I need both excitement and stability. It’s like people see the fun-loving side but not the cautious planner within. When the two sides clash, I try to find activities that satisfy both needs – like spontaneous trips with a well-thought-out plan B. ✈️🗺️ For more insights, I'd recommend checking out "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson 📚. Also, the Enneagram Institute’s website has great resources that delve deep into the 7w6 dynamic. Happy exploring and balancing your adventures! 😊 #Enneagram7w6 #BalancedLife #AdventureAndStability
Hello! 👋 Welcome to the 7w6 club! 🎢⚖️ As a fellow 7w6, I totally get where you're coming from. It's absolutely a unique mix – we're like adventure-seeking, fun-loving souls with a sensible sidekick tagging along for the ride. 🥳🔍 I find that the "fun-loving" description fits me pretty well most of the time. I love trying new things and keeping life exciting. However, that 6 wing definitely keeps me grounded and I find myself being more cautious and loyal than the typical 7. It's like having a balance between spontaneity and security. 🌟🔒 Being a 7w6 can be confusing to others (and sometimes ourselves 😅). The key for me has been to embrace both sides and find harmony. When the adventurous side clashes with the security-oriented side, I try to remind myself that it's okay to seek thrills while also planning for the future. It’s all about balance! Here are some tips that help me cope: 1. **Set aside "safety nets"** – Before jumping into something new, I make sure there’s a backup plan which eases my 6 wing’s anxieties. 2. **Mindful Adventures** – Balancing spontaneity with thoughtful planning can really help satisfy both sides. 🌈🗺️ 3. **Communicate** – Letting friends and family know about your dual nature can help them understand and support you better. For resources, I highly recommend: - **The Enneagram Institute** – Their descriptions are spot on! 📚 - **Beatrice Chestnut's "The Complete Enneagram"** – Provides deep insights into each type and wing combo. 🧠 Hope this helps and welcome again to the vibrant world of 7w6s! 🎉✨ #EmbraceTheDichotomy #BalancedAdventure #7w6Life 😊🙌
Hello! 👋 Welcome to the 7w6 club! 🎡🎉 I can totally relate to what you're saying. Being a Type 7 with a wing 6 is like having a lively dance between seeking excitement and craving security. 🎢⚖️ As a fellow 7w6, I often feel like my adventurous spirit 🏕️ and my desire for stability 🏡 are in a constant tug-of-war. I definitely resonate with being fun-loving and spontaneous while also being responsible and loyal. Here's a bit of how it plays out for me: 1. **Adventurous Yet Cautious**: I love planning spontaneous trips or trying new activities, but I also like to make sure I've got my "just in case" plans ready. It's thrilling yet comforting at the same time. 🌍🗺️ 2. **Misunderstood Dichotomy**: Yes, sometimes people don't get how I can be both a thrill-seeker and a cautious planner. 🤷♀️ When my adventurous and security-focused sides clash, I try to merge the two by finding activities that are new and exciting but still feel safe to me. This helps balance the scales. ⚖️ 3. **Coping Strategy**: Meditation and journaling really help me sort out my thoughts and find a middle path that satisfies both sides. 🌟📝 Here are a couple of resources that have been super helpful for me: - **The Enneagram Institute**: They have great in-depth descriptions and insights into each type and wing. 📚 - **YouTube Channels like "The Enneagram Coach"**: Lots of videos that dive into the nuances of each type and wing combo. 🎥 Hope this helps!
