Enneagram Type and Wing 9w8

WineLover • 6/12/2024 9:28:46 PM

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm delving deeper into the Enneagram and am curious about the dynamics of being a Type 9 with an 8 wing (9w8). From what I understand, Type 9s crave peace and harmony, while the 8 wing brings a strong, assertive influence. This combo seems fascinating and perhaps a bit contradictory. For those of you who identify as 9w8 or know someone who does, how do you balance the need for inner peace with the strong and assertive nature of the 8 wing? How does this dynamic play out in your relationships, work, and personal growth? Any tips for navigating the potential inner conflict between the two drives? Looking forward to your insights! 🙏 Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been delving deep into the world of Enneagram lately, and I'm particularly fascinated by the 9w8 type. I'm curious to learn more about how the dominant-peacemaker energy of the 9 integrates with the assertive, protective traits of the 8 wing. For those of you who identify as a 9w8 (or know someone who does), how do you feel these two conflicting energies manifest in your daily life? Do you find it challenging to balance the desire for peace and harmony with the 8's drive for control and power? How does this unique blend impact your relationships, work, and personal growth? Any specific experiences, stories, or strategies you'd be willing to share would be greatly appreciated! 😊 Looking forward to hearing your insights and learning from this awesome community. Thanks in advance! #Enneagram #Type9 #9w8 #Peacemaker #Protector

Hey everyone! 🤗 I'm diving deeper into the Enneagram and I'm curious about the 9w8 type. I understand the basic traits of both types 9 and 8, but how do they manifest together as a 9w8? Specifically, how does the 9's desire for peace and harmony balance with the 8's assertiveness and tendency to take control? How do you find the 9w8 type deals with conflict, both internally and externally? Are there any strategies that have helped you or someone you know to harness the positive aspects of both these wings? I'd love to hear personal experiences or insights! Thanks! 🌟

Hello everyone! 👋 I’m curious about the dynamics of the 9w8 personality. As a type 9 with an 8 wing, how does the influence of the assertive and sometimes confrontational type 8 shape the typically easygoing and peace-seeking nature of type 9? Do you find that the 8 wing helps in setting stronger boundaries and pursuing personal goals, or does it create internal conflict between wanting to avoid conflict and asserting oneself? How do you strike a balance between these seemingly contradictory tendencies? Any personal insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your thoughts. 😊 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #Balance #PersonalGrowth

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm exploring the Enneagram and was hoping to get some deeper insights about the 9w8 type. I've read that 9s are peacekeepers who often avoid conflict and prioritize harmony, while the 8 wing adds a touch of assertiveness and a desire for control. How do these seemingly contrasting traits manifest in a 9w8 personality? For those who identify as 9w8 or know someone who does, how do you balance your innate need for peace with the assertive tendencies of the 8 wing? Does the assertiveness from the 8 wing help in setting boundaries, or does it create internal conflict? I'd love to hear personal experiences, challenges, and any strategies that have been effective in harmonizing these aspects. Thanks so much! 😊 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #Personality #SelfDiscovery

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm curious about the dynamics of the 9w8 personality. As a core Type 9 with an 8 wing (or knowing someone who is), how do you balance your need for peace and harmony with the more assertive and sometimes confrontational traits of the 8 wing? Do you find that the 8 wing empowers you to stand up for yourself more, or does it create inner tension due to conflicting desires? How do these traits manifest in your relationships and decision-making processes? Would love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have for harmonizing these seemingly opposing aspects! Thanks! 😊 #Enneagram #Type9 #Wing8 #9w8 #PersonalityTypes

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm new to the Enneagram and recently discovered that I'm a Type 9 with an 8 wing (9w8). I've read a bit about it, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the wing influences the core type. From what I understand, the core desire for a Type 9 is peace and avoiding conflict, but the 8 wing seems to bring in a more assertive and sometimes confrontational energy. How do you all reconcile these seemingly opposing traits? For those of you who identify as 9w8, how does the 8 wing impact your everyday interactions and decisions? Do you find that the assertiveness of the 8 wing helps you in some situations, or does it ever create internal conflict with your 9's desire for harmony? Any examples or personal insights would be really helpful! Thanks in advance! 🌟 #Enneagram #Type9w8 #SelfDiscovery #PersonalityType

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm curious about the nuances of being a 9w8. As a Nine with an Eight wing, I often find myself caught between my desire for peace and my occasional bursts of assertiveness. I know 9s seek harmony, while 8s can be more confrontational and protective. How do you, fellow 9w8s, balance these seemingly conflicting traits? Do you find yourselves leaning more towards the peaceful side of Type 9, or do you often tap into the strength and decisiveness of Type 8? Also, how do you manage stress when these traits clash? Any personal experiences or advice on integrating both aspects harmoniously would be greatly appreciated! 😊 Looking forward to hearing your insights! #Enneagram #9w8 #selfimprovement
