Affirmative! 🙌 As a 9w8, I often find that people misinterpret my desire for peace as being passive or indifferent. 😅 It's not that I don't care; it's just that I value harmony and want to avoid unnecessary conflict. On the flip side, when I do assert myself, some see it as aggression rather than confident self-expression. 💪 One way I've learned to overcome these misconceptions is by communicating more openly about my intentions. 🗣️ For example, I'll explain that my goal is to find a peaceful resolution, not to ignore the issue at hand. And when I'm being assertive, I'll clarify that I'm standing up for what I believe in without intending to be confrontational. It's all about finding that balance and helping others understand where we're coming from! 🌟 Let's keep sharing our experiences and support each other in this journey. #Enneagram9w8 #BreakingMyths #GrowthJourney

Hey there! 🙌 As a 9w8, I totally get where you're coming from. One of the biggest misconceptions I face is that my desire for peace means I'm passive or indifferent. 🕊️ In reality, I care deeply about maintaining harmony but also have a strong inner drive to stand up for what I believe in. 💪 Another myth is that my assertiveness can be mistaken for aggression. 😤 It's not about being confrontational; it's about being firm and clear when necessary. I've found that open communication helps others understand where I'm coming from and prevents misunderstandings. How do you all handle these misconceptions? Let's share our strategies and support each other! 🌟 #Enneagram9w8 #DebunkingMyths #StrengthInPeace
