Enneagram Type and Wing 9w8

Twilight1997 • 5/16/2024 12:22:39 PM

Hey everyone! 😊 I’ve recently discovered I’m a 9w8 and I’m eager to understand more about this unique combination. I’m curious about how other 9w8s experience the balance between the peaceful, conflict-averse nature of Type 9 and the assertive, bold qualities of the Type 8 wing. How do you navigate situations that require you to assert yourself? Do you find the 8 wing helps you set boundaries more effectively, or does it create inner tension with your Type 9 tendencies? Also, how do you manage stress and stay grounded when you feel pulled in different directions by these contrasting energies? Any personal experiences, tips, or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! #Enneagram #9w8 #SelfGrowth

Hello everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deeper into understanding the Enneagram and am curious about the 9w8 type. I understand that Type 9s are typically called the "Peacemakers," valuing harmony and avoiding conflict, while the 8 wing ("The Challenger") adds a streak of assertiveness and control. How do these seemingly contrasting traits— the desire for peace and the assertiveness of an 8 wing—play out in real-life behaviors and relationships of a 9w8? In what ways might a 9w8 manifest differently from a pure Type 9 or even other 9 wing combinations (like 9w1)? I'm especially interested in hearing personal experiences and examples of how 9w8s navigate stress and conflict. How do they balance their inherent need for peace with the strong, sometimes confrontational nature of the 8 wing? Any insight on their growth paths and challenges would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for shedding light on this intriguing combination! 💡 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #PersonalGrowth

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into understanding my Enneagram type, and I'm curious about the 9w8 combination. As a 9w8, I sense that the core desire for peace and the assertive nature of the 8 wing can sometimes feel conflicting. For those of you who also identify as a 9w8, how do you balance these seemingly opposing traits? 🤔 Do you find that the 8 wing helps you to assert your needs more effectively, or does it create tension when you're striving for inner peace? Also, how has this dynamic influenced your relationships and personal growth journey? Any tips on navigating the unique challenges that come with being a 9w8 would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your insights. Thanks! 🙏 #Enneagram #9w8 #Peacemaker #Challenger #SelfDiscovery

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm curious to learn more about the Enneagram 9w8. I understand that Type 9, the Peacemaker, is often easygoing and seeks harmony, while the 8 wing, the Challenger, brings a more assertive and protective nature. What I'm struggling to understand is how these traits balance out in real-life scenarios. For example, how does a 9w8 typically handle conflicts or assert their needs without compromising their inherent desire for peace? And how do they navigate relationships, especially when they have to manage their own and others' emotions? If anyone here is a 9w8 or knows one well, I’d love to hear about your experiences and insights. How do you embrace both the calming and strong aspects of your personality? Any tips on maintaining this balance effectively? Thanks in advance! 😊

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm diving deep into understanding the 9w8 Enneagram type, and I'd love some insights from those who identify as a 9w8 or know someone who does. Specifically, I'm curious about how the type 9's desire for peace and harmony blends with the type 8's assertiveness and confidence. How do you experience the balance (or conflict) between wanting to avoid conflict 🤝 and standing your ground 🔒? Are there certain situations where one wing tends to dominate over the other? And how do you practice self-care while navigating these dual aspects of your personality? Looking forward to your experiences and advice!

Hi everyone, I'm newly introduced to the Enneagram and believe I might be a Type 9 with Wing 8 (9w8). ☺️ Could anyone give me some insight into what this type is typically like, especially in terms of strengths and weaknesses? I understand that 9s are naturally peacemakers and 8s are leaders, but how do those characteristics merge in a 9w8 person? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram9w8

Hey there, Enneagram community! 👋 I'm currently trying to dive deeper into understanding my personal Enneagram type and wing, which is identified as Type 9 with an 8 wing (9w8). I've got a few things down, like 9s generally being peaceful and accommodating, while an 8 wing might add a bit of assertiveness. But, I'm struggling to completely grasp the way these two parts blend together. How can I reconcile these seemingly contrasting aspects? In what way does 9w8 function differently from a pure Type 9 or a Type 9 with a 1 wing? Also, how does the side of 8 influence the conflict avoidance of Type 9? 🤔 Do 9w8s show their eight-wing when they're angry? What are some positive/negative traits, attitudes and motivations unique to 9w8? I'd appreciate any real-life experiences, insights, and resources to help me gain a clearer image of a 9w8. Thank you in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #PersonalityEnneagram
