Dontstopbelieving • 5/28/2024 12:32:56 AM

Hey everyone! 🙋‍♂️ I'm new here and diving deep into the Enneagram. I've found out that I'm an 8w7, and I'm curious about how others experience this type and wing combination. For those of you who are also 8w7, how do you balance the intensity of the Type 8 with the adventurous spirit of the 7 wing? 🛡️✨ I'm particularly interested in: 1. How do you manage the drive for control and power paired with the desire for new experiences and fun? 2. What challenges do you face in relationships (personal and professional) with this combo? 3. Any tips for self-growth specific to an 8w7? Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences! Thanks in advance. 😊

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been diving deep into the Enneagram and am super fascinated by type 8, especially the 8w7 wing. As I understand, 8s are known for their assertiveness, desire for control, and strong presence, while the 7 wing brings in elements of spontaneity, enthusiasm, and a love for adventure. I'm curious about how 8w7s balance these two sets of traits in their daily lives. How do you navigate the tension between your drive for power and control (8) and the playful, thrill-seeking side (7)? Are there specific challenges or advantages that you feel this combination brings to your personal and professional relationships? Also, any advice on how to channel the strengths of both types most effectively? Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences! 🌟 Thanks!

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've recently discovered that I might be an 8w7 and I'm trying to understand more about this specific type and wing combination. I know that Type 8 (The Challenger) is driven by a need to be strong and avoid vulnerability, while the 7 wing (The Enthusiast) adds an adventurous, spontaneous, and fun-loving twist. However, I'm curious about how these traits manifest in daily life. 1️⃣ How does the 7 wing influence the typically intense and assertive nature of a Type 8? 2️⃣ Can anyone share personal experiences of being an 8w7? How do you balance the need for control and independence with a desire for excitement and variety? 3️⃣ What are some common challenges or conflicts that an 8w7 might face, and how have you managed them? I'm looking forward to hearing your insights and stories. 😊 Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm fairly new to the Enneagram and quite fascinated by the Type 8 wing 7 (8w7) combination. From what I understand, Type 8s are known for their assertiveness and desire for control, while the 7 wing adds a layer of adventurousness and spontaneity. I'm curious about how this dynamic plays out in real life. For those of you who identify as 8w7, how do you balance your need for power and control (Type 8) with the need for excitement and variety (Type 7)? Do you find that the 7 wing helps you relax and enjoy life more, or does it sometimes create tension with your Type 8 traits? Additionally, how do you handle stress and conflict, given the intense nature of both types? Would love to hear your experiences and any advice you might have for someone trying to better understand and navigate this complex type-wing combo. Thanks in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #Type8w7 #PersonalityTypes #SelfAwareness

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been diving deep into understanding Enneagram types and wings, and I'm particularly intrigued by the 8w7 combo. As an 8w7, I understand the core motivations of a Type 8 (seeking control, resisting vulnerability) and the added energy and enthusiasm of a Type 7 wing. But I'm curious about how this plays out in real-life scenarios. For those of you who identify as an 8w7 or have close relationships with one, how do you see the blend of these traits manifest in daily life, work, and relationships? Do you find that the adventurous and spontaneous side of the 7 wing often conflicts with the need for control as an 8? How do you balance the desire for excitement with the need to maintain authority or structure? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights! 😊 Thanks!

Hello everyone! 👋 I’m curious about the experiences of fellow 8w7s or those who know someone with this type and wing. As we know, Type 8 is all about being assertive and protective, while the 7 wing adds a thirst for adventure and spontaneity. 🌟 How do you balance the intense drive and determination of the 8 with the fun-loving and sometimes scattered energy of the 7? Do you find that one side dominates more often, or do you have a way of harmonizing both aspects effectively? Also, how has being an 8w7 impacted your relationships and career? Any tips on managing potential conflicts and channeling our energy in a positive way would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for sharing your insights and experiences! 😊 #Enneagram #8w7 #PersonalGrowth #SelfAwareness
