Enneagram Type and Wing 7w8

Greg707 • 5/16/2024 3:59:14 PM

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m really curious about something related to the Enneagram, specifically for those who identify as a Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). I’ve read a lot about the adventurous, enthusiastic nature of Type 7s and the assertiveness and leadership qualities of Type 8s, but I’m trying to get a deeper understanding of how these two aspects combine. For those of you who are 7w8s, how do you balance the innate desire for freedom and experiences (7) with the strong will and somewhat confrontational side of the 8 wing? Do you find yourselves frequently stepping into leadership roles even when pursuing new adventures? Also, how do you handle stress or conflict given these contrasting traits? Any insights, personal experiences, or advice would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance. 😊 #Enneagram #7w8 #PersonalityTypes #SelfGrowth

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm new to diving deep into the Enneagram and have been reading up on Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). I understand that Type 7s are known for being enthusiastic, adventure-seeking, and spontaneous, while the 8 wing seems to add a more assertive, strong-willed, and protective edge to their personality. For anyone who identifies as a 7w8 or knows someone who does, I'm curious about how you perceive the blend of these traits in real life. How do you balance the desire for excitement and spontaneity with the more intense, assertive energy of the 8 wing? Do you find that the 8 wing helps you in certain situations (like standing up for yourself or others), or can it sometimes conflict with your inherent Type 7 traits? Also, how do these combinations manifest in your daily lives, relationships, and career choices? Any personal examples would be super helpful! 😊 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #Type7 #7w8 #Personality #SelfGrowth

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been doing some deep dives into the Enneagram, particularly around Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). I've read that 7w8s are often energetic, adventurous, and assertive, but I'm curious about how this type deals with stress and conflict. For those who identify as 7w8 or know someone who does, how do you typically respond to high-pressure situations? Do you find your 8 wing pushing you towards taking control, or does the spontaneous nature of the 7 lead you to seek escape routes? Also, how do you balance the need for freedom and adventure with the assertiveness and confrontational tendencies of the 8 wing? Any personal stories or strategies for maintaining healthy relationships and self-care would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance for your insights! 🌟 #Enneagram #7w8 #PersonalityTypes

Hey everyone! 😊 I’ve been diving deep into the Enneagram and identifying as a 7w8. I’m curious to learn more from others who share this type and wing combo. How do you balance the enthusiastic, adventure-seeking energy of Type 7 with the assertive, strong-willed traits of the 8 wing? For example, I often find myself bouncing between wanting to explore new opportunities (7) and taking charge or asserting control in situations (8). - How do you manage this dynamic duo in relationships and work? - Do you find one aspect often overshadows the other? - Any tips on harnessing both energies effectively without feeling overwhelmed? I'd love to hear your experiences and any strategies you’ve found helpful. Thanks in advance for sharing! 🌟

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram and recently learned I’m a 7w8. I'm curious about how other 7w8s balance their adventurous, enthusiastic nature (core 7) with the assertive, protective traits of an 8 wing. How do you navigate the tension between wanting to explore every opportunity and maintaining a sense of control and power? Specifically: 1. How do you manage the constant drive for new experiences without feeling overwhelmed? 2. In what ways does your 8 wing influence your relationships and decision-making? 3. Do you find it challenging to balance being spontaneous and assertive? Any tips, personal experiences, or insights on living as a 7w8 would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 😊

Many thanks for sharing your insights! 🌟 Warm regards,

Hello! 👋💭 I'm quite new to the whole Enneagram concept and after doing some research, I found out that I'm an Enneagram Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). From my understanding, this type is often referred to as "The Realist" and has a unique blend of traits from both Types 7 and 8. What I'd like to understand better is how this specific type interacts with others, particularly in challenging scenarios. How does being a 7w8 influence one's social interactions, leadership style, and stress management? If there are any other 7w8's here, I'd love to hear your personal experiences and insights. 😊❤️ #Enneagram #Type7w8 #Realist
