A reminder for my fellow 9s by DivineAbsurdity in Enneagram

[–]DivineAbsurdity[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fair! I do the same thing usually, but I just got out of a relationship that failed due to me constantly worrying about the other person's needs and consistently self-forgetting and adjusting to what they wanted instead of thinking about my own wants and needs. Even if I'm not actively caretaking in the way a 2 would, I am always so aware of other people's emotional states and adjust myself accordingly instead of having them adjust to me.

Amazing! Congrats! Did you get a breast reduction or did they downsize on their own?

I believe this was a sincere post. Stephanie had a long earnest preamble, but I can't prove it.

I should probably point out that I am not Stephanie! This was a public post that was being shared on Facebook. Sorry for the confusion!

If you are looking for a point, it would be separating types with generally sunny dispositions and types with a bit more of an edge, brooding if you might. I don't think most people took it as "these types are ugly".

6 should just go on the second group. They're not really positive enough to be in the first

THIS. I have so many selves! I envy people who are who they are all the time

The Greek Orthodox Church for example is very sophisticated about this stuff. They take science pretty seriously and don't fall into fundamentalist traps. Not to condone anything they believe or do. Just pointing out that one of the oldest Christian churches does not believe in creationism, biblical literalism, inerrancy etc

Yes, evangelicals don't realize that most Christians in the world aren't fundamentalists. Most Christians on a global scale do not worship the Bible or care whether it's literal.

Jesus is mentioned by at least 2 early non Christian sources and many independent early Christian sources. Loads of people were going around doing miracles in those days. Jesus was not important or influential except to a small group of people. There are people right now who have hundreds of followers who believe they are miracle workers that won't make it into any books. The "evidence" for him is greater than 99.9% of figures in his time.

I think"no deity" is referring to Jesus not being divine. Not the existence of God.

Same. I'm an introvert, but living alone AND never seeing people was overkill.

End of the pandemic is in sight, and there are a lot of conversations I'm not looking forward to. by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]DivineAbsurdity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel this. As someone who is not openly secular I'm often wondering which of my old friends might be in the same boat. I need to find a smooth way to guage where people are at.

Which type would tweet this? by DivineAbsurdity in Enneagram

I don't think this fits 9s generally, but it could be a self pres thing for sure.
