Enneagram Type and Wing 8w9

Anderson353 • 6/18/2024 4:25:36 AM

As an 8w9, I often struggle with balancing my assertiveness with my desire for peace. My 8 side urges me to take control and confront issues head-on, but my 9 wing pulls me towards avoiding conflict to maintain harmony. This often results in a frustrating inner tug-of-war, making it hard to know when to push and when to step back. How do you navigate these conflicting drives? Any strategies to integrate both aspects without losing my core strengths? Advice on managing stress and maintaining relationships while staying true to myself would be greatly appreciated. 🚀

I've been diving deep into understanding the nuances of the Enneagram, particularly Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9). How do you, as an 8w9, balance the assertive nature of Type 8 with the peacemaking qualities of the 9 wing? 🌟 Do you find that the 9 wing moderates some of the intensity typically seen in Type 8s, or does it create an internal struggle between wanting to lead and desire for harmony? Any insights or personal experiences on navigating this unique blend of traits would be greatly appreciated!

Lately, I've been struggling with balancing my need for control with a desire for inner peace. As an 8w9, I often find myself caught between being overly assertive and withdrawing to maintain harmony. This dynamic affects my relationships, especially at work and with loved ones. How can I better navigate situations where my instinct to take charge conflicts with my wish to keep things calm? Any advice on finding a middle ground or specific techniques that have worked for other 8w9s would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Curious about the dynamics of an 8w9! How does the blend of assertive Type 8 and the peacemaking Wing 9 manifest in relationships and conflict? Do you find that the desire for control and power (8) often clashes with the need for peace and harmony (9), or do they balance each other out effectively? Personal experiences or insights on handling the duality of confrontation vs. avoidance would be so helpful. 🧐💭 Share your thoughts! #Enneagram #8w9 #Type8 #Wing9

Hello everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and am fascinated by Type 8, especially with a 9 wing (8w9). I understand Type 8s are characterized by their assertiveness and desire for control, while Type 9s are typically more easygoing and seek peace. This combination seems like it could create an interesting dynamic. For those who identify as 8w9 or know someone who does, I have a few questions: 1. How do you balance the assertive nature of an 8 with the peacemaking tendencies of a 9? 2. What are some key challenges you've faced being an 8w9, and how have you navigated them? 3. Are there particular strengths that this wing combination brings out in your personality? I'm curious to hear your experiences and insights! Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. 😊

Hello everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the dynamics of being an Enneagram Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9) and how it influences behavior and relationships. From my understanding, Type 8s are assertive, strong-willed, and protective, while the 9 wing brings a more laid-back, accommodating nature. How do you 8w9s balance these seemingly contrasting traits? 1. How does your 9 wing affect your assertiveness? Do you find yourself more peace-seeking? 2. In relationships, how do you handle conflicts? Does the 9 wing help in smoothing things over, or does it create inner tension? 3. How do you manage stress? Does your 9 wing’s tendency to avoid conflict help, or does it sometimes lead to unresolved issues? 4. Any personal stories or examples of how being an 8w9 has influenced your life decisions or career path? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights. Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #8w9 #Balance #Relationships #SelfGrowth

Hey everyone, I've been diving deep into the Enneagram and getting to understand more about Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9). I'm curious about how the traits of a Type 8 (The Challenger) blend with the influences of the Type 9 (The Peacemaker). For those of you who identify as an 8w9 or know someone who does, how do you feel the 9 wing impacts the assertiveness and intensity typically associated with Type 8? Do you find yourself more diplomatic and conflict-averse, or does the 8's need for control and confrontation still dominate? 🤔 Also, how do you balance these seemingly conflicting energies in relationships and work settings? Any personal experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 🙏
