Enneagram Type and Wing 9w8

TwilightSage95 • 5/23/2024 7:23:34 AM

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into understanding Enneagram Type 9 and especially the 9w8 combo. As I understand it, Type 9s are typically the peacemakers, seeking harmony and avoiding conflict, while the 8 wing adds a more assertive, sometimes confrontational edge. I'm curious about how these seemingly contrasting traits manifest in everyday life. For anyone who identifies as a 9w8 or knows someone who does, how do you balance the inherent desire for peace and calm with the more assertive and strong-willed tendencies of the 8 wing? Do you find that the 8 wing helps you stand up for yourself more than other Type 9s, or does it create internal conflict? Any examples or personal stories would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your insights! 🌟 #Enneagram #9w8 #Peacemaker #Assertiveness #Harmony

🌟 Hi everyone! I'm curious about the distinct characteristics of the 9w8 subtype in the Enneagram. As a core Type 9 with an 8 wing, how does this combination manifest in daily life? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding: 1. How does the assertiveness and decisiveness of Type 8 influence the peace-seeking nature of Type 9? 2. Are there common challenges or strengths unique to 9w8s that differ from other Type 9s? 3. How do 9w8s typically handle conflict, both internally and externally? 4. In relationships, how does the 9w8 navigate the balance between connection with others and maintaining their own autonomy? I would love to hear from fellow 9w8s or those who know a 9w8 closely. Your insights and experiences would be incredibly helpful! Thanks! 🌼

Hi everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into understanding the nuances of the 9w8. I know that Type 9s are typically known as the Peacemakers, characterized by their desire for harmony and avoiding conflict. On the other hand, the 8 wing brings in traits related to being assertive, protective, and sometimes confrontational. My question is: How do you experience the duality of the 9w8? How do you balance the peaceful inclinations of the Type 9 with the assertive energy of the 8 wing in your daily life? 🧘‍♂️🛡️ I'd love to hear personal experiences, challenges, and any strategies you've found helpful for integrating these qualities. Thanks! 🙏

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm curious about the unique dynamics of the 9w8 type within the Enneagram system. As a 9 with an 8 wing, it seems to combine the peacemaking and laid-back traits of a 9 with the assertive and protective characteristics of an 8. For those of you who identify as 9w8 or have close relationships with someone who does—how do you find this blend manifests in day-to-day life? Do you feel the assertiveness of the 8 wing helps you overcome the inertia often associated with type 9? Or does it create inner conflict between wanting peace and needing control? Also, how do you balance these two contrasting energies in relationships and work environments? Any insights, personal experiences, or tips would be greatly appreciated! 😊 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and I'm particularly intrigued by the 9w8 type. I understand that Type 9s are often referred to as "Peacemakers" who value harmony and avoiding conflict, while the 8 wing brings in a bit more assertiveness and a desire for control. How do 9w8s typically balance these seemingly contrasting traits? Do they experience more inner tension compared to other Type 9s?

Hi everyone! 😊 I've recently started delving into the Enneagram and discovered that I'm a Type 9 wing 8 (9w8). I'm finding the balance between the peaceful, easygoing nature of the Type 9 and the assertive, confident traits of the wing 8 to be particularly intriguing. One thing that I'm unsure about is how to effectively leverage the strengths of both aspects in my daily life. For fellow 9w8s, how do you manage the potential internal conflict between desiring harmony (Type 9) and the need to assert yourself (wing 8)? Do you have any strategies or tips that help you to harness both these sides effectively? Also, I’d love to hear about your personal experiences in terms of relationships and work dynamics. How do you navigate social settings and professional environments as a 9w8? Thank you all in advance for your insights! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #SelfGrowth #PersonalityTypes
