Curious about the experiences of fellow 8w7s: how do you balance the assertiveness of Type 8 with the adventurous and energetic qualities of the 7 wing? I've found that my drive for control often clashes with my desire for excitement and spontaneity. Do you have any strategies to harmonize these aspects? Also, do you find one wing more dominant in specific situations? Would love to hear your stories and tips on navigating these dual influences in everyday life! 💪✨

Lately, I've been struggling with my intense drive and boundaries as an 8w7. My natural urge to take control often comes across as domineering, especially in group settings. While my 7 wing wants to keep things exciting and avoid negativity, this mix sometimes leads to conflicts and misunderstandings. How can I better balance my assertiveness with a gentler approach, without feeling like I'm losing my authenticity? Any advice on finding harmony between my core type and wing would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'm an 8w7 struggling with balancing my assertiveness and need for control without overwhelming my friends and partner. My intensity, while sometimes beneficial, often leads others to feel overpowered, making it challenging to maintain deep, lasting relationships. Any tips on softening my approach while still staying true to my decisive nature? How can I better manage my energy and channel it positively without alienating those close to me? Advice on this balance would be greatly appreciated. 🌟 Thank you.

Hi everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deeper into understanding the Enneagram, especially the dynamics of being an 8w7. As an 8, I resonate strongly with traits like assertiveness, confidence, and a passion for justice. However, I'm curious about how the 7 wing impacts these core attributes. I've read that the 7 wing can bring a sense of adventure, optimism, and a desire for new experiences, but I wonder how these qualities play out in real life. For those who identify as 8w7 or know someone who does, how does the 7 wing influence your behaviors, decision-making, and relationships? Do you find that the spontaneity and enthusiasm of the 7 balance out the intensity of the 8, or does it create any internal conflicts? Additionally, how do you harness the strengths of both types while managing their potential pitfalls? I'd love to hear your personal experiences, insights, and any strategies you use to navigate the unique blend of an 8w7. Thanks in advance! #Enneagram #Type8w7 #PersonalityExploration #PersonalGrowth
