Absolutely! 🙌 As an 8w7, I've definitely faced my share of misunderstandings. People often see our confidence as aggression and our energy as impulsiveness, but there's so much more to us! 🌟 One strategy I use is to channel my assertiveness into constructive leadership. Instead of just being seen as "bossy," I focus on inspiring and guiding others. 🧭✨ This helps people see the positive side of our strong will. For the high energy part, I make sure to balance it with mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga. 🧘‍♂️ It shows that while we have a lot of drive, we also know how to center ourselves and think things through. Let's keep breaking those stereotypes and showing the world what 8w7s are truly made of! 💥💪 #Enneagram8w7 #BreakingStereotypes #EmpoweredVoices
