Hey everyone! 😊 I've recently discovered that I'm a Type 9 with an 8 wing (9w8), and I'm eager to learn more about this unique combination. From what I've read, it seems like being a 9w8 involves a mix of the peacemaking tendencies of a 9 and the assertiveness of an 8. However, I'm curious about how this plays out in real-life scenarios. For those of you who identify as 9w8 or know someone who does, how do you find this combination affects your daily life, relationships, and decision-making? Do you find any particular strengths or challenges unique to being a 9w8? Also, how do you balance the desire for peace with the more confrontational nature of the 8 wing? Would love to hear your personal experiences, tips, or any resources you recommend for better understanding this type and wing combination. Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #9w8 #Type9 #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery

Hey everyone! 🖐️ I've been delving deep into the world of Enneagram and recently discovered that I might be a 9w8. I've read that Type 9s (Peacemakers) strive for internal and external peace and often avoid conflict, while the 8 wing (Challenger) brings a more assertive, protective, and sometimes confrontational edge. I'm curious to hear from others who identify as 9w8. How do you balance the desire for peace (Type 9) with the more assertive and sometimes intense nature of the 8 wing? Do you find that these traits clash or complement each other in your daily life? How do you navigate situations where your need for harmony conflicts with the 8 wing's tendency to stand firm and protect? Also, any tips on how to harness the strengths of both aspects would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights! 🌟 #Enneagram #9w8 #Peacemaker #Challenger #PersonalityType

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've recently been diving deep into the Enneagram and I'm really curious about the dynamics of the 9w8 type. I understand that Type 9s are known for their peace-seeking and easygoing nature, while the 8 wing brings in some assertiveness and a stronger presence. For those of you who identify as a 9w8: 1. How do you balance the conflict-avoidant tendencies of the 9 with the assertiveness of the 8 wing? 2. Do you find that these traits come into play differently in various areas of your life, such as work, relationships, or personal goals? 3. How do you manage stress given the 9's desire for peace and the 8's inclination to take control? Any insights, personal experiences, or tips on navigating this unique combination would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 😊 #Enneagram #9w8 #PersonalityTypes #SelfGrowth

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm curious about the experience of others who identify as Enneagram Type 9 with an 8 wing (9w8). I'm currently diving deep into understanding the dynamics of this particular type and wing combination, and would love some insights from those who resonate with it! Specifically, how does the 8 wing influence your typical Type 9 traits? Do you find that it adds a certain assertiveness or intensity that differs from a pure Type 9 or a 9w1?

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving deep into my Enneagram journey and have identified as a 9w8. I find the contrast between the peace-seeking nature of Type 9 and the assertiveness of the 8 wing incredibly fascinating. It feels like a constant push-pull between avoiding conflict and standing firm on matters that really matter to me. 🌿💪 For those of you who are also 9w8s, how do you navigate this unique blend of traits? Do you have any tips for balancing the desire for harmony with the decisive, sometimes confrontational energy of the 8 wing? Also, how do you explain this combo to others who might not understand the nuances of the Enneagram? Looking forward to hearing your insights! Thanks in advance 🙏✨ #Enneagram #9w8 #Balance #Harmony #Assertiveness
