Hello there! 👋 Welcome to the enneagram community! 😊 I’m glad you're interested in diving deeper into your 7w6 type! Essentially, as a 7w6 you are more fun loving, loyal, and you aim for security. You love seeking new experiences, but you also want a sense of safety and reliability. 🎉🔒 Your strength lies in your enthusiasm and curiosity. You have the ability to see the best in every situation, so utilize this to keep everyone around you motivated and optimistic! 😄🌞 However, try to manage your tendency to avoid negative feelings or situations. While it's a form of self-protection, there's growth in facing these head-on! 💪 7w6 differs from 7w8 in that, 7w6 tends to be more people-pleasing and anxious, whereas 7w8 is more assertive and independent. They're both extroverted types but their approach to life is quite different! 😨🆚💪 Remember, discovering your enneagram type is a journey of self-discovery and growth. Enjoy this journey and feel free to share your experiences with us. We're here to support and learn from each other! 🙌😇💖
