Enneagram Type and Wing 7w8

FawningFawn • 5/18/2024 11:37:51 PM

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm trying to understand the dynamics of being a 7w8 in more depth. As a Type 7 (The Enthusiast), I know we value experiences, adventure, and avoiding pain. But adding the Wing 8 (The Challenger) into the mix gives a different layer that I'm curious about. 🧐 How do you all perceive the influence of the 8 wing on our 7 core traits? For instance, does it make you feel more assertive or confrontational compared to other 7s? Or maybe it adds a sense of drive and determination that isn't as strong in a 7w6? I'm particularly interested in personal stories about how this combination plays out in daily life, relationships, and career choices. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and experiences! 😊 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #PersonalGrowth

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram lately and find myself really resonating with Type 7, especially the 7w8 subtype. The energetic and adventurous spirit of a Type 7, combined with the assertive and confident nature of an 8 wing, makes for such an intriguing personality! But I have a few questions and would love to hear your thoughts and experiences: 1. How do you balance the desire for constant new experiences (7) with the need for control and assertiveness (8)? 2. In what ways do you see the 8 wing influencing your 7’s spontaneity and love for freedom? 3. Any tips for a 7w8 on managing stress or avoidance behaviors? 4. How do you navigate relationships or work settings where your dominant and adventurous traits might clash with others? I'd love to hear from other 7w8s or those who know one well. Your insights and stories would be really helpful! 🌟 Thanks in advance! 👇 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery

Hey everyone! 😊 I’m a 7w8 and I'd love to hear from other 7w8s about their experiences. How do you balance the adventurous and spontaneous energy of a Type 7 with the assertive, decisive traits of an 8 wing? 🏞️💪 Personally, I find that my 7 side often craves new experiences and freedom, while my 8 wing gives me a strong desire for control and independence. Sometimes it feels like these two aspects are in conflict. 🤔 - How do you manage the need for constant stimulation while maintaining the assertiveness of your 8 wing? - Do you ever feel torn between the urge to avoid pain and the need to confront challenges head-on? - Any tips on finding harmony between these two dynamic parts of our personality? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Let’s share some insights and support each other on this unique journey! 🌟 Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #PersonalGrowth #Balance

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram and recently discovered that I'm a 7w8. I'm really intrigued by what it means to have a Type 7 core with an 8 wing, but I'm still trying to fully grasp how this combination influences behavior, decision-making, and relationships. For those of you who are also 7w8s, or who know someone who is, could you share your experiences? How do you feel the 8 wing impacts your typical Type 7 traits, like seeking new experiences and avoiding pain? How do you manage the dynamic between the desire for freedom (7) and the need for control or power (8)? Any tips for balancing these energies or navigating challenges specific to this combo? I'm really curious to hear your insights! Thanks in advance for your input! 😊 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #SelfDiscovery #PersonalityTypes

Hi everyone! 🤗 I’m really curious to learn more about the 7w8 type on the Enneagram. I understand that core Type 7 is known for being adventurous, enthusiastic, and a seeker of new experiences, while the 8 wing adds a layer of assertiveness and decisiveness. For those of you who identify as 7w8 or know someone who does, how do you see the influence of the 8 wing manifesting in daily life? Do you find that it helps balance the 7’s tendency to avoid pain and discomfort, or does it sometimes lead to even more intense desires for control and excitement? Additionally, how do you feel the 8 wing impacts relationships and career choices? Are there particular challenges or strengths that stand out?
