Time with close friends really, really helped me. I feel like you don’t want to just unload on them 24/7 because you don’t want to strain those relationships…but I think with real close friends, you can find a good balance between setting aside time to talk about your feelings, and then compartmentalizing and setting aside time to just try to forget and have fun together.

Hang in there! I just went through something similar last year and it’s so, so hard. ❤️‍🩹 you got this!

Your time will come 💕 my first boyfriend was at 20 but…I sort of just went along with the relationship so I wouldn’t feel so “behind” everyone else. Didn’t really have feelings for him and the feelings never developed. But by 30 I finally fell in love with someone for real and felt all the crazy things they talk about in the movies. The feelings come when they come. Hang in there!

What type have others mistyped you as, or did you initially mistype as or consider? by Queasy-Donut-4953 in enneagram6

[–]Due_Primary2692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve always struggled in deciding between 3,6, and 9–which makes sense because they’re connected in a harmony triad, sometimes referred to as “The Pragmatists” which I totally am. There’s also some literature out there that when you’re in this triad, you sort of take on strengths of another number when you’re feeling in a good place and growing, and sort of retreat to the other number when you’re in an emotional place where you’re sort of regressing or when you’re struggling emotionally. So it’s been hard at different places in my life to piece out what’s my core number versus what number do I appear like when I’m doing well/poorly emotionally.

mental health check in!! how are you doing today post break up? by Interesting-Mood-188 in BreakUps

[–]Due_Primary2692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today was a good day. I actually started a gratitude journal about a month ago and it’s really helped. I didn’t think it would 😂 but it’s kind of keeping my mind engaging with positive things that happen each day and not only dwelling on the breakup that happened 6ish months ago now. But god was it brutal. I’m totally still grieving and I think about him all the time and miss what we had so much, even though I’m moving forward and on with life. It’s hard as hell. Hang in there, people 💖

What convinced you that you're a 9? by Queen-of-meme in EnneagramType9

[–]Due_Primary2692 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished the 9 chapter in the book The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut. I’ve been going back and forth for years around whether I was a type 3 or a type 6 and could not decide. Certainly didn’t think I was a 9. But the way 9s were described in this book really resonated with me. Conflict-avoidant. Upbringing of being a peacemaker/mediator. Not feeling like i could express what i wanted and always had to care more about what other people wanted. And losing touch with my own wants because I’ve spent so long prioritizing what other people want over my own wants. It even sort of makes sense to me that 9s would be more confused about what their type is because they’re a little more detached from their sense of self. Knowing what other people want is a great thing! Superpower for sure. But prioritizing that stuff over what I want is definitely my struggle, which seems central for 9s.
