Struggling with my Enneagram 8 tendency to dominate conversations and situations. I often feel the need to assert control, but it's affecting my relationships. Friends say I come off as intimidating or dismissive, even when I'm just trying to help. How can I balance my natural leadership instincts with being more open and receptive? Looking for strategies to listen better and create space for others without feeling like I'm losing my edge. Any advice from fellow Type 8s or those who understand us? 💪✨

Curious about how fellow Type 8s manage vulnerability. As someone who often feels the need to be strong and in control, I find it challenging to open up emotionally without feeling exposed or weak. How do you balance your natural assertiveness with the need for emotional connection? Have any specific practices or experiences helped you embrace vulnerability while maintaining your sense of strength? Would love to hear your insights or stories! 💪✨

Lately, I've been struggling with my Enneagram Type 8 tendencies. My need for control and assertiveness often comes off as domineering, especially in group settings.

How can I balance being strong and assertive while also being receptive and collaborative? Any tips on softening my approach without compromising my core strengths? 🌟
