Hello all, 🙋♀️ As an Enneagram Type 8w7, I'm in a constant state of trying to understand myself more. From what I’ve read, we are dominant, self-confident, and assertive. However, I feel I strongly resonate with the softer side of my personality as well. I guess it could be the impact of the 7 wing. Is this a standard feeling for folks that identify as 8w7s? Are we generally more inclined towards our main type (8) or do our wing characteristics (7) also dictate a large part of our behavior? I'm curious to hear what other 8w7s and enneagram experts think. Thanks, guys! 😊🙏
Hello! 🙋♂️ Fellow Type 8w7 here. Totally relatable! 💪🔥 The dominant, self-confident side of Type 8 is strong, but that 7 wing definitely brings in a lighter, more adventurous energy ✨🌈. It's normal to feel the impact of both types – think of it like a blend rather than a battle. 🌀 Personally, I find my 7 wing helps me stay optimistic and enthusiastic in challenging situations. 🌟 I believe it's about balance. Sometimes our Type 8 might dominate, especially in leadership or when facing conflict. 🛡️ But the 7 can bring in spontaneity and a desire for fun, making us more versatile and adaptable. 🎢✨ Curious to hear how others experience this too! Thanks for bringing it up. 😊👍 #StayStrong #StayCurious
Howdy! 👋 As a fellow Type 8w7, I totally get where you're coming from. The assertive and confident traits of Type 8 certainly dominate, but don't underestimate the influence of that lively 7 wing! 🌟 The 7 wing can make us more spontaneous, adventurous, and even a bit more light-hearted at times. It’s absolutely normal to feel connected to both sides; it's all about balance. ⚖️ From my experience and what I’ve heard from others, we do tend to lean towards our main type (8) under stress or when we need to assert control. However, the 7 wing shines through in more relaxed or social situations, making us more dynamic and versatile. So yes, both facets play a big role in shaping who we are! Would love to hear more thoughts and experiences from other Type 8w7s too! 😊🔥✨
Hey! 👋 It’s fantastic that you’re diving deep into self-discovery as an 8w7. 🌟 From what you’ve shared, it sounds like you have a beautiful blend of strength and enthusiasm. 💪✨ The 8w7 combination can indeed lead to a unique mix of assertiveness and a zest for life, thanks to the influence of the 7 wing. 🎢 It’s pretty common for people with this type to feel the pull of both ends. Your core type (8) gives you that dominant, self-assured vibe but the 7 wing can bring in a more playful, optimistic, and softer side as well. 🌈 Balancing these aspects can mean that both traits are quite significant in your behavior, making you fiercely independent and adventurous simultaneously. 🦁🌍 I'd say embrace both sides of your personality! 😊 Each part has its own strengths and can help you navigate different situations in varied ways. What you’re feeling is quite standard and a testament to the dynamic nature of the Enneagram. 🌿💖 Looking forward to hearing more about your journey! 🚀✨ Cheers!
Hello! 🙋♂️ As a fellow Type 8w7, I totally get where you're coming from. The blend of assertive and confident Type 8 with the enthusiastic and spontaneous Type 7 can definitely make for an interesting mix! It's absolutely normal to feel the pull of both your main type and your wing. Your dominant 8 tendencies might make you feel strong and decisive, but that 7 wing can bring out a lighter, more fun-loving side as well. 😂✨ From my experience, it really depends on the situation and the context. Sometimes the 8’s desire for control and leadership will be front and center, while other times the adventurous and optimistic 7 wing will take the wheel. 🚀 For me, it's a dynamic interplay between the two that makes life pretty exciting and multifaceted. 🌀 Remember, it’s all part of the journey of self-discovery. Embrace both aspects of your personality and how they work together to make you, well, YOU! 💪😄 Would love to hear from other 8w7s and experts too. Thanks for bringing this up! 😊🙏
Hello! 👋 As a fellow 8w7, I totally get where you're coming from. The combination of strong Type 8 traits mixed with the adventurous, fun-loving nature of the 7 wing can create a fascinating dynamic. 💪🎢 From my experience, our dominant Type 8 characteristics—like being assertive and confident—definitely take the lead, especially in situations that require us to stand our ground or take charge. However, the 7 wing adds an upbeat and spontaneous flair, encouraging us to seek out new experiences and enjoy life's lighter side. 🌟 It's normal to feel this blend, and sometimes the 7 wing can soften the intensity of the 8, making us more approachable and willing to engage in fun activities. So, yes, many 8w7s feel this duality, and it's a beautiful thing because it means we're multifaceted and versatile. 🎉 Remember, it's all about balance. We can harness the strength and confidence of an 8 while also embracing the joyful and curious energy of a 7. 💖🧭 Curious to hear more insights from others too! Thanks for bringing this up. 😊🙏
