Enneagram Type and Wing 9w8

MakeupJunkie • 5/31/2024 2:06:44 PM

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the dynamics of the 9w8 type within the Enneagram. I've read that the combination of the peacemaking Nine with the assertive Eight wing can create a unique blend of traits. How do you all experience the balance between the conflict-avoidance of the Nine and the assertiveness of the Eight? Do you find that the Eight wing helps in setting boundaries effectively, or does it sometimes create internal conflict with the Nine's desire for peace? Additionally, how do you 9w8s handle stress and what are your go-to strategies for maintaining harmony both within yourselves and in your relationships? I'd love to hear personal experiences, challenges, and any advice you might have for managing this intriguing combination of traits. Looking forward to your insights! 🙏 #Enneagram #9w8 #PersonalityTypes #SelfGrowth

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been exploring the Enneagram and recently discovered that I might be a 9w8. I'm fascinated by how the core traits of Type 9 (Peacemaker) blend with the assertive qualities of the Type 8 wing. I have a few questions for those who identify as 9w8 or understand this type/wing combination well: 1️⃣ How does the 8 wing influence your natural tendency towards peace and avoidance of conflict? 2️⃣ Do you often find yourself balancing between diplomacy and assertiveness? 3️⃣ Can you share any personal experiences or challenges unique to being a 9w8? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and stories to better understand this fascinating mix! Thanks in advance! 😊

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving into the Enneagram recently and identifying as a 9w8. I get that 9s are the Peacemakers and can be pretty go-with-the-flow but struggle with inertia and avoiding conflict. Adding the 8 wing, which I see as being more assertive and protective, adds an interesting dynamic. 🤔 How do you balance the contradictory traits of the peaceful, conflict-averse 9 with the assertive, go-getter tendencies of the 8 wing? Do you find that the 8 wing helps you overcome the inertia of the 9, or does it create internal conflict? Any practical tips on harnessing the best of both aspects? Would love to hear your experiences, insights, and any advice you have to offer! Thanks! 🌟 #Enneagram #9w8 #PersonalGrowth

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm exploring the nuances of the 9w8 (Peacemaker with an 8 wing) and would love some insights from those of you who identify as this type or know someone who does. I've been reading up on how the 9w8 combines the desire for peace and harmony (core Type 9) with the assertiveness and strength of Type 8. I'm curious about how this dynamic plays out in real life. Specifically: 1. How do you balance the need for peace with the sometimes confrontational nature of the 8 wing? 2. In what ways do you feel the 8 wing enhances your Type 9 qualities, and how does it present challenges? 3. How do you handle conflict, whether it's internal or external, given the contrasting elements of your type and wing? 4. Are there particular strategies or practices you’ve found helpful for nurturing both sides of your personality? Any personal experiences, tips, or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated! 🌿✨ Thanks in advance for your time and insights! Warmly,

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm currently diving deep into understanding the 9w8 enneagram type and would love some insight from anyone who identifies as a 9w8 or knows someone who does. 🌍 I've read that Type 9 (The Peacemaker) is generally conflict-averse and seeks harmony, while the 8 wing (The Challenger) adds a layer of assertiveness and a desire for control. How do you see these seemingly contrasting traits playing out in your life or the life of someone you know? Specifically, I'm curious about: 1️⃣ How does a 9w8 balance the need for inner peace with the 8's assertive energy? 2️⃣ In what situations does your 8 wing come out the strongest? 3️⃣ How do you handle conflicts, given the 9's tendency to avoid them and the 8's more confrontational approach? Any personal experiences, examples, or advice on how to better understand and support a 9w8 would be super helpful! 🙏 Thanks in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #PersonalityTypes #SelfDiscovery

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the unique dynamics of being a 9w8. As a Nine with an Eight wing, how do you navigate the contrast between the desire for peace and the assertiveness that comes with the Eight wing? Do you find that the Eight wing helps you set boundaries more effectively, or does it create internal conflict when trying to maintain harmony? I'd love to hear any personal experiences or insights on how to balance these contrasting energies. Thanks in advance! 🙏✨

Do you often find yourself struggling between wanting to keep the peace and having strong personal boundaries or expressing your opinions more forcefully? How does this play out in your relationships, work environment, and personal growth journey?
