Enneagram Type and Wing 7w8

luxuriousliving • 6/19/2024 12:13:04 AM

Struggling to understand how my 7w8 tendencies influence my personal growth and relationships. I relate strongly to the adventurous and spontaneous side of a Type 7, but the assertiveness of the 8 wing seems to add a layer of intensity. Can anyone share insights on balancing the desire for freedom with the assertive drive of the 8 wing? How does this combo manifest in career choices and conflict resolution? Any tips for leveraging strengths while mitigating potential pitfalls would be greatly appreciated. 🧠🌟

Lately, I’ve been feeling stuck in a cycle of starting projects with enthusiasm, only to abandon them when the novelty wears off. As a 7w8, my fear of being deprived and missing out makes it hard to focus long-term. The 8 wing pushes me to take bold risks, but I struggle with seeing things through. It’s affecting my work and relationships. How can I stay committed and find satisfaction in the mundane while honoring my adventurous spirit? Any advice from fellow 7w8s or others with similar experiences would be appreciated. 🙏

Wondering if any 7w8s can share how they balance their spontaneous, adventurous side with the assertiveness of the 8 wing? 🕵️‍♂️✨ Do you find that the 8 wing's need for control and challenge opposes the 7's desire for freedom and variety, or do they complement each other in some way? Interested in personal experiences or strategies you’ve found effective for navigating this dynamic, especially in relationships or work settings. How do you keep the energy and fun alive without letting the 8 wing's intensity take over? Thanks in advance!

I'm a 7w8 struggling to balance my desire for new experiences with the practical demands of daily life. I constantly seek excitement but often end up overcommitting and burning out. My 8 wing pushes me to take control and assert myself, yet I find it hard to stay grounded. How can I align my adventurous spirit with a more structured, sustainable lifestyle? Any tips on staying focused and avoiding burnout while still satisfying my need for stimulation? Advice is greatly appreciated! 🌟

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and have recently discovered that I’m a 7w8. I’ve read up on the basics, but I’d love more in-depth insights and personal experiences from others who identify as 7w8s. How do you balance the enthusiastic, adventurous side of the 7 with the assertive, sometimes intense nature of the 8 wing? Do you find that the 8 wing helps you be more decisive and action-oriented, or does it create conflicts with the spontaneous and sometimes scattered energy of the 7? Also, how do you handle stress? Do you lean more into your 8 wing’s confrontational side, or do you escape into typical 7 distractions? Any advice or anecdotes would be much appreciated! Thanks! 😊 #Enneagram #7w8 #Type7 #Wing8 #EnneagramCommunity

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm curious about the Type 7w8 combination and how the wing influences the primary Type 7. I've read that Sevens are adventurous and enthusiastic, always seeking new experiences, while Eights are assertive, confident, and sometimes confrontational. For those of you who identify as 7w8, how do you find this wing impacts your core Type 7 traits? Do you feel that the assertiveness of the 8 wing helps you pursue your passions more effectively, or does it sometimes create conflicts in your relationships due to the confrontational nature of an 8? How do you balance the desire for freedom and new experiences with the need for control and power associated with the 8 wing? I'd love to hear about your personal experiences, challenges, and any strategies you've found helpful in navigating this dynamic combination. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the Enneagram Type 7w8 combination. As a Type 7 myself, I'm always on the lookout for new adventures and experiences, and I get along great with most people. However, I've noticed that I have a very strong and assertive side, which I believe comes from my 8 wing. For those of you who identify as 7w8, how do you balance the excitement-seeking aspect of Type 7 with the assertiveness and control of the 8 wing? Do you find that your 8 wing ever takes over in certain situations? How does this blend affect your personal relationships, work, and overall life satisfaction? 🧗‍♂️💼 Would love to hear your experiences and any tips or strategies you’ve found helpful! Thanks! #Enneagram #Type7w8 #PersonalityJourney
