Enneagram Type and Wing 7w8

Jenna010 • 6/5/2024 2:48:13 AM

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m really curious about the nuances of being an Enneagram Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). As a 7w8, I understand that there's a blend of characteristics from both types, but I’m having a bit of trouble distinguishing when my 7 traits end and my 8 traits begin. Has anyone else experienced this? How do you navigate the desire for new experiences and adventures (Type 7) with the assertive, protective nature of Type 8? Additionally, I’ve read that 7w8s can come across as more confrontational or intense compared to 7w6s. Does anyone have examples of how this manifests in real-life situations? How do you balance the high energy and optimism of a Type 7 with the assertiveness and sometimes aggressive tendencies of an 8 wing? Would love any insights or personal stories you’re willing to share! 😊 Thanks! #Enneagram #7w8 #Type7 #Wing8 #PersonalityTypes

Hello everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deep into my Enneagram journey and I'm currently exploring the Type 7w8 combination. I understand that Type 7s are known for their enthusiasm, spontaneity, and love for adventure, while the 8 wing brings in assertiveness, confidence, and a bit of a protective streak. I'm curious to hear from other 7w8s about how you experience this type and wing combination in your daily life. How do you balance your desire for new experiences and excitement (7) with the assertiveness and sometimes confrontational nature of the 8 wing? Do you find that the 8 wing helps you stand your ground and pursue your passions more aggressively, or does it sometimes create internal or external conflicts? Also, how do you manage the potential for overindulgence or burnout from constantly seeking new thrills? Any personal stories, insights, or advice would be greatly appreciated! 😊 Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! 🌟 I've been diving into the world of the Enneagram and have a burning question about the 7w8 type. As a 7w8, the combination of the enthusiastic and adventurous nature of Type 7 with the assertive and confident traits of Type 8 seems intriguing. How do you, as a 7w8, experience this blend of energies in your daily life? Do you find that the 8 wing significantly intensifies your drive and desire for control, or does it mainly serve as a supportive backbone to your spontaneous 7 nature? 🤔 I'm also curious about how this dynamic impacts your relationships. Do you notice a balance between your need for freedom and your assertiveness, or does one tend to dominate more? Any insights, personal experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated! 🌈 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 😊 #Enneagram #7w8 #PersonalityTypes Thanks!

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving into the Enneagram recently and find myself intrigued by the 7w8 combination. As a 7, I understand the core desire for new experiences and avoiding pain. When you add the 8 wing, it seems like a powerful mix of optimism and assertiveness. For those who identify as 7w8, how do you balance the adventurous spirit of a 7 with the assertive and sometimes confrontational nature of an 8? Do you find that the 8 wing helps in navigating challenges more confidently, or does it sometimes amplify impulsiveness? Would love to hear your experiences and insights on managing these dynamic traits! 🌈👟🔧 Thanks! 🌼

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm curious about the dynamics of being a 7w8 and how it influences behavior and relationships. As a core Type 7, I understand that the drive for new experiences and avoiding pain is key. But when the 8 wing is added, does it make the typical "avoiding pain" pattern of a 7 more aggressive or assertive? Also, how does having an 8 wing impact decision-making and confrontation situations compared to a pure 7 or even a 7w6? Additionally, for those who identify as 7w8, how do you balance the enthusiasm and adventurous spirit of a 7 with the intense, sometimes confrontational nature of an 8? Does the 8 wing ever overpower the 7 tendencies, essentially making you more like an 8 in certain situations? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights! 😊 Thanks!

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm delving deeper into the Enneagram and have a question about the 7w8 type. I understand that 7s are the enthusiastic adventurers always seeking new experiences 🏄, but how does the 8 wing influence this core type? Specifically, how do the assertiveness and intensity of the 8 wing impact a 7's natural traits? Do 7w8s tend to be more confrontational or assertive in pursuing their goals compared to a 7w6, and how might their approach to risks and challenges differ 🧐? Also, how do 7w8s typically manage stress or conflict given this unique blend of traits? Looking forward to hearing your insights and personal experiences! 🌟 Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving into the Enneagram recently, and I find myself resonating a lot with Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). I get the adventurous and spontaneous nature of a 7, but I also notice a strong presence of assertiveness and confidence that comes with the 8 wing. I was wondering if anyone else here identifies as a 7w8 and could share some insights or experiences? Specifically, I'm curious about: 1. How do you balance the desire for new experiences (Type 7) with the need for control and assertiveness (Type 8)? 2. Are there any particular challenges or strengths you've noticed with this combination? 3. How do you manage stress, given the potential for both 7's scattered energy and 8's intense drive? Any advice or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 Thanks in advance for your input! #Enneagram #Type7 #7w8 #PersonalGrowth

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram lately and I'm fascinated by Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). I understand that Type 7s are often described as "The Enthusiasts," driven by a need to avoid pain and seek out new, exciting experiences. The 8 wing seems to add a layer of assertiveness and a desire for control and independence. How do 7w8s balance their adventurous side with their seemingly contradictory need for control? Do you find that the 8 wing amplifies certain traits more than others? Also, how do 7w8s manage relationships when their partner might not share the same level of spontaneity or desire for independence? Any insights or personal experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated! I'm eager to understand how these two energies interact and influence behavior in different scenarios. Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #7w8 #PersonalityTypes
