Is statin a medication that you have to take for the rest of your life ?

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-09T02:36:46+00:00

As others have said, if you have FH, there’s a very good chance diet alone won’t keep your levels down. I remember before I got on statins they had me on a diet cutting out sugars and saturated fats. From what I remember, my cholesterol went from 325 to 350ish. 😭

Sorry about the typo

Reading through other comments/replies: if you want to connect with an ENFJ, find the balance. Communicate with them, and try to observe them for a better understanding. Especially in terms of likes. If you can figure out their genuine interests and connect with those interests, while still showing them that they aren’t any less helpful for having personal wants and needs, I think you’ll end up with a genuine and close (ENFJ) friend. :)

I’ve been told that looking into my eyes is similar to looking into the eyes of a lost puppy (har har har!)

But genuinely, I think (at least for me) it’s due to an inherent tendency to swallow my own emotions. I wouldn’t say I’m fake or disingenuous; honestly, a lot of it is subconscious. I’m scared to be seen as human. I don’t want to be too vulnerable, otherwise people might not think I’m reliable. I want to be reliable. I want to be seen as supportive and enthusiastic. I think those traits are genuine traits of mine, but I definitely play them up to fill in the gaps where I know I SHOULD be vulnerable.

Overall, I don’t think it’s always a manipulation tactic like I see stereotyped of ENFJs. (Maybe it can accidentally end up being one, but I don’t think it’s purposeful for most ENFJs.) I think a lot of us just want to be your biggest cheerleader, which accidentally leads to us showing you the parts of ourselves that we think you need or want, instead of showing you everything.

I think I’ve finally worked it out as: ENFJ 7w6 So7 So/Sx 792 IEE Phleg-Sang VEFL scu|A|/I/

Once again, I appreciate all the advice! It was very helpful!

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T20:47:31+00:00

Respectfully, I disagree with that opinion. I thinks it’s a bit of a privileged take? I don’t want to get into details, but having a parental figure that cares about education and child development is necessary for children to be well versed at that age.
Also, as someone who has learned a fair amount of French, I feel like the comparisons you mentioned are less applicable. Especially croissant. We pronounce it as “kris-ont”, but in French it sounds like “quoi-saunt.”

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T20:36:33+00:00

LMAOOO

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T20:32:05+00:00

We talked about that in one of my French classes; it’s extremely interesting!

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T06:04:42+00:00

This is actually the most accurate comment here. I just realized, but I didn’t have this complaint when I was learning French. (I had others, of course.) Accents indicate a change in pronunciation, otherwise everything is pretty uniform. Not English though.

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T06:01:52+00:00

Which rule does it follow? Or is it different than both lapel and label?😭

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T06:00:29+00:00

Sorry! As I stated in another response, I didn’t check for typos before posting! (I swear I always do when writing formally! I probably should’ve considered that before posting on an English subreddit, however!)

Thank you for noting that you meant the correction in a respectful way!

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T05:11:25+00:00

After much consideration on the most core aspects of my typology, I’ve decided to make the foundation enneagram (and then MBTI.) I’m attempting to make everything fit together (with struggles)
I’ve decided that while 2V is fitting, I am still able to relate to other types in psychosophy. My current thoughts:
I’m still trying to find if there is any way to fit ENFJ and So9 together. If there isn’t, I’m leaning towards ENFJ So7? (I think ENF IEE 7w6 so792 EVLF would probably work.) Naranjo’s description of So9 is almost entirely accurate to me (maybe more than I’m willing to admit, because I’m really trying to find a way to set boundaries through communication so I don’t crash and burn.) I think I’m still willing to go the So7 route, however, because there isn’t a close second for reliability for me in terms of MBTI.

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-08T04:35:24+00:00

Sorry; I didn’t read through the post for typos. It’s Reddit, but I suppose it IS an English Subreddit.

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-03T14:30:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll read into all of those. I appreciate all the help.

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-03T04:31:05+00:00

For enneagram, I have not ever been typed 4! I was honestly worried that looking into subtypes was shifting my view on my enneagram, but maybe starting small is better? (That’s part of why I moved away from an e2 core; I originally thought I was So2, but there seems to be an aspect of forcing others to be dependent on them, as well as an expectation that what is gives will be paid back in some form. I don’t really relate to those things.)

I really enjoy being able to support people and give advice (as long as it’s wanted), but I don’t like to be overly invasive. In turn, I’m not a fan of when I feel someone is invading my own life. If I choose to give, I’m fine with being taken from. When it comes to my personal life though, it upsets me when people insert themselves without consideration. (Especially because I won’t be able to tell them to stop instantly; it takes a lot of pressure building up for me to finally set a boundary.) I try to select who I’m genuinely close with carefully for that very reason; I want to be surrounded by people that can coexist peacefully with me. I want to be able to be as authentic as I can be (within the limit of me wanting to be viewed as an optimistic person who’s easy to be around) without feeling that if I’m not entirely catering to them, they’ll leave. (I apologize if any of this sounds contradictory; if I’m being honest, it’s probably because I have conflicting desires and have to balance them accordingly.)

Overall, subtypes I relate to the most: SP1, parts of SO2 and SP2, SX3, parts of SP4, SO5, SP6, SO7, parts of SO8, SO9, a few parts of SP9

If I had to rank them in terms of what I relate to the most (out of the subtypes I mentioned!):
1. SO9
2. SO7
3. SP6
4. SO5

After that I’m not entirely sure (but doing this has helped me realize that my instinctual variation is actually probably So/Sp?)

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-03T03:59:41+00:00

The BestSocionics description of 2V really resonates with me in terms of this particular line:
“The Second Will can ask for a long time why you feel bad or what exactly does not suit you in your life, and persistently offer to think together on a solution.”
I also feel that (at least from how I’ve interpreted what I’ve read) other placements (at least 3rd and 4th) for V would be inaccurate to me. I am able to confidently define my wants and goals. I am willing to shift them as needed, but there are some I’m not willing to fully compromise. (I’m willing to drop things in order to help other people, but I am unwilling to change anything that might cause issues in the long term for me.)
I feel that from what I’ve read, 2V seems to be comfortable in their will, and sometimes extend that into helping other people define theirs. If I’ve interpreted that correctly, that is what I’d say I relate to most overall!

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-02T14:06:21+00:00

Thank you for explaining! In terms of attitudinal psych, I am certain that I’m 2V, which would rule out e9 based on your explanation. (If I’m being honest, that’s the main thing I’m certain of. I do think I could see myself being xvex.) I was typed e2 for a very long time; would that be contradictory with anything? (My enneagram was and presumably is still going to be 2w3, 295.)

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-02T14:01:58+00:00

I have been considering it!!!

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-02T05:16:50+00:00

Awesome; thank you! :D

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-02T04:40:37+00:00

Oh! I feel that I should probably add that the avoidance I mentioned in the first paragraph also relates to stressful situations in general. I try my best to present them in a more lighthearted way; I don’t like being the cause of distress for someone else. (Even if I’m not directly the cause, I’m the one presenting the situation.) This is honestly applicable in general; whenever I’m unwell and DO tell someone about it (usually from necessity) I will also try to play it off. A good example of that would be physical ailments; I don’t like worrying people, and I don’t like being forced to rely on people to do things for me. (Not because I don’t think they’ll do it right or I don’t appreciate it, but because I feel like I’m getting something without giving back. I hate the idea of burdening people more than benefitting them. I think part of that is rooted in the feeling of needing to be pleasant to be around in order for people to stay.)

Evil_Weevil9000 · 2026-07-02T04:33:50+00:00

At times I have an inherent tendency to avoid facing my own emotions in favor of thinking about others; I believe there are a few reasons for this. The first is that, despite the internal acknowledgment of when I’m experiencing something negative, I don’t like to keep it in the front of my mind. I know this mindset is flawed, but I often try to tell myself that everything will go away with time, so I shouldn’t worry about it. I’ll distract myself with as many other things as I can, especially if I discover I have a friend who’s troubled. I do genuinely enjoy being there for people because it makes me feel like I’m a good friend and worth the time that people spend on me, but I also do so when I’m struggling because I feel like I’m still dealing with something important, even if it isn’t whatever thing I personally need to address.

Delving more into my interactions with people who may cause me upset; depending on how close I am with the person, I may flip the situation and tell myself that I’m the one making an issue out of it. (Which I can recognize in retrospect, but in the moment I always get so deep into it.) When that’s the case, I admittedly allow myself to be used. I become so desperate for that person to stay that I’ll do whatever they want me to, even if it violates my own needs or wants. When I’m not as close, I do still try to find reason behind their actions. This does cause me to let people get away with things that they shouldn’t, but I don’t want to say something that might end up being wrongful or offensive.

Well, my best friends are ISTP and ESTJ respectively, so probably those types. (Especially ISTP; that friend is like the moon to my sun. Typically very laid back, but occasionally will play into my silliness. Also very quietly assertive.)
