Enneagram Type and Wing 8w9

LunarPhantasm • 5/19/2024 6:41:49 PM

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving into understanding the Enneagram and have some questions about being an 8w9. From what I gather, Type 8s are assertive, protective, and at times confrontational, while the 9 wing brings in a more laid-back, peacemaking vibe. How do you all experience this combination in your daily life? Are there specific challenges or strengths that really stand out for you? For example, how do you balance your desire for control and personal power with the 9's inclination towards peace and harmony? Do you find it difficult to assert yourself without causing conflict, or does the 9 wing help temper that naturally? Also, any tips on how to leverage this type-wing combo for personal growth or in relationships? Would love to hear your insights! 🌟 Thanks! 😊

Hey Enneagram Enthusiasts! 👋 I've been exploring the dynamics of Type 8w9 and I’m curious to learn more from those who identify with or understand this type and wing combo. 💡 Type 8s are often known for their assertiveness, confidence, and desire for control, while the 9 wing tends to bring a level of calmness, diplomacy, and a desire to keep the peace. How do you find that this combination manifests in your life or in the lives of those you know? Do you think the 9 wing significantly balances the more intense and confrontational aspects of the 8? Additionally, how do you handle the potential internal conflict between wanting to assert your will (Type 8) and the desire to avoid conflict (Type 9)? 🧐 I'd love to hear your experiences, insights, or any examples of how this dynamic plays out in real-life scenarios.

Hi everyone! 🌿 I've been diving into understanding the Enneagram recently, specifically the 8w9 type, and I'm curious about how the distinct traits of the Type 8 and the supporting 9 wing blend together in real-life experiences. 🧐 From what I've gathered, Type 8s, known as "The Challengers," are assertive, decisive, and often driven by a desire to be in control, while the 9 wing, "The Peacemaker," brings in a more relaxed, accommodating, and sometimes conflict-averse energy. This seems like a fascinating combination because it appears to balance strength with calmness. For those of you who identify as 8w9, how do you notice these traits manifesting in your daily lives? Do you find that your 9 wing helps temper the intensity of your Type 8 core? How do you manage conflicts internally and externally, given the mix of dominant and peaceful traits? 🤔 I'm eager to hear your insights and experiences! Thanks in advance for sharing your perspectives. 🙏✨ Best,

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and am particularly fascinated by Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9). I understand that the core of 8w9 is still about being a Challenger but with some important differences due to the influence of the 9 wing, which adds elements of peacemaking and calmness. My question for the forum is: How do 8w9s typically balance their assertiveness with the more laid-back, conflict-averse nature of the 9 wing? If you identify as an 8w9 or know someone who does, can you share any specific strategies or real-life examples for managing this unique dynamic? Additionally, how does this combination show up in terms of relationships, work, and personal goals? Any insights on the internal struggles or the strengths that come from having this particular wing? Thanks in advance for your wisdom! 😊 #Enneagram #8w9 #TypeEight #ChallengerPeacemaker #Personality Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

Hello everyone! 😊 I recently discovered that I'm an Enneagram Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9), and I'm curious about how others with this type navigate their daily lives. One thing I'm particularly interested in is finding the balance between the assertiveness of the 8 and the peacefulness of the 9. How do you manage to stay true to your strong-willed, protective nature while also embracing a calmer, more harmonious approach? Additionally, are there any specific strategies you use to prevent internal conflicts that may arise from these seemingly opposing traits?

Hi everyone! 👋 I've been exploring the Enneagram lately and am particularly interested in Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9). I understand that Type 8, the Challenger, is known for being assertive, confident, and protective, while the 9 wing adds a layer of calmness, diplomacy, and desire for harmony. I'm curious about how you 8w9s experience this balance. How does the 9 wing influence your assertiveness as a Type 8? Do you find that it makes you less confrontational, or do you still lean heavily into the typical Challenger traits? Also, how do you manage to stay true to your own beliefs and values while maintaining peace and avoiding unnecessary conflict? I'd love to hear from some 8w9s about your personal experiences and how this unique combination plays out in your daily life. Any tips on how to harness the strengths of both traits effectively would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #8w9 #Type8 #Wing9 #PersonalityTypes
