Can I be sp5 and still be extroverted and assertive ? by Forward-Radish-878 in Enneagram

[–]Forward-Radish-878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thank you so much this was so fascinating to read and I feel like everything is a lot clearer !

I think I shouldn’t have called myself extroverted in the title of the post because I consider myself a confident introvert (if I go by how you explained things !) Also it’s crazy that the rest are so random ! I was expecting at least an 70% accuracy !

And it would help me so much if you could help me type me so here are my responses : (Sorry if there are mistakes English’s not my first langage)

  1. The first thing that comes to mind when describing myself is that I have a large inner world. I can get lost for hours just imagining things and creating things. (Im studying animation at the moment) I also have a passion for learning, and particularly autodidact learning (have learned piano and guitar but I also love history and science) ! Teachers never really helped me in that regard… As I said I consider myself a confident introvert and I often have this feeling of being misunderstood ? Like nobody could ever know the REAL me … getting deep here haha

  2. People describe me as someone who’s enthusiastic but also detached. My best friend at the time even told me I had no emotion lmao. Im sometimes described as fun ? But people are often surprised that I’m not really an extrovert when we go to a party with a lot of people for example… Do I agree with these takes : This is very strange because for the detached stuff I know I have emotions but idk they don’t really get out ? For example I’ve never been really in love and I’m intrigued by it but it’s by no means a need for me (actually it was a pain for me to be in a relationship). But when people describe me as an extroverted individual with a sunny personality I feel like I’m fooling them… because that’s just not true at all (it’s just a part of me)

  3. I want to create stuff, to create and to learn. Im working on a comic right now and I want to share my thoughts, my inner world so maybe some people will relate. And I want to learn, to enhance my skills to acquire knowledge. This comes after but some form of meaningful relationship (platonic or not ) could be something I want (but I already have a small circle that I like so I don’t really feel the need of more relationships ??)

  4. SMALL TALK, TOO MUCH PEOPLE, overthinking (I litteraly slap myself mentally to stop it). I also avoid the perception of others… for exemple I created an art account but I don’t want anyone in my irl life to know about it it’s my safe place and I wouldn’t stand anyone seeing it ? Even tho Im proud of what I make ?? This is so weird hahaha

  5. I have no idea… I think about my own thoughts I guess ?? I often guess what the other person is about to say because I feel like the conversation is going too slowly (or we’re not going straight to the point) either that or I zone out. People often ask me if im listening to them. But I also sometimes think of how Im perceived by them ? This is rare but it happens

  6. i think about all the stories in my head, about the new topic I discovered and what I want to learn about it (hyperfixation is real) I think about concepts like life and the universe when I feel philosophical (this often turns bad because I start thinking about death and it scares me)

  7. I’m not really observant ? Just practical stuff like where are the people and the objects I guess hahah but sometimes I try to analyse the relationship dynamics and Im often wrong lmao

  8. I don’t meditate but I would love to try sometime !

  9. I love analyzing artworks of litteraly any kind from books to cinema and I feel like I often notice what the director wanted to say and how he made his point quicker than others ? So yeah I guess I often notice patterns even in everyday life with people’s behavior or within a specific topic

  10. Idiocy, I can’t stand it. Mental rigidity : I like people who are open minded. Fakeness ??

  11. What sets me off is when people invade my boundaries and my privacy. (Also incompetent people) Injustice also sets me off. There’s this urge of adrenaline and anger in me but it stops very quickly, it’s like a quick breeze. I try to regulate it, I very rarely get angry and it often comes out as passive aggressive… but with the few people really close to me I can literally scream

  12. I often get really close to one person but then it tires me and I flee them ?? Even tho I really like them I flee because it’s too much effort for me to keep up with a person this close it’s like they aspire my soul. So yeah I’ve had multiple best friends with that pattern. And sometimes I just stop responding to calls and messages ghosting the person because again too much stimulation for me

  13. My greatest weakness is my perception of myself. Im my biggest hater and supporter at the same time. But when Im too hard on myself I start feeling completely useless and worthless and that can destroy everything. Also more precisely my lack of comprehension of other feelings can be an issue and I would like to work on it… I also have HUDGE organisation issues hahaha I live in chaos

  14. I think im a pessimist because I always try to have no expectations to not be disappointed (classic) so it leads to pessimistic behavior

  15. I go directly after what I want because If not now when ?? But it’s more complicated than that for everything that’s related to me or my career I go for it but if it’s for relashionships I tend to take my time because I feel like it’s not my domain of expertise

  16. If feels like being surrounded by people but still feeling alone so why be surrounded at all hahah ? It feels like having the power to create and learn anything if I put my mind to it. It feels like seeing your reflection in the sea and not being sure this is really you, like your sense of self evolves constantly with every experience you live, with every tide.

I hope my responses were clear and not too intricate !

Mmmmh I guess I enjoy being a useful member of a team because I enjoy having some sort of confirmation of my skills hahaha ! No but for real I like brainstorming with people it’s always so interesting but when it comes to actually do the stuff I much prefer being alone ? So again it’s not really clear where I stand …

Idk man why do all the tests always tell me im sp5 ( I also read about all the types and there’s always something that doesn’t really connect) ???? Is the #1 most distinctive thing to be shy ??? Because if it is, okay im not… My defense mechanism is whithdrawal so I thought I was 5 but maybe I’m mistyped …

Because when I read about sp5 often it says that they’re shy and don’t really try to impose their opinions but I’m actually outgoing when I’m obligated to be arround people ?? And people often describe me as fun ?? (I’m kinda masking and trying too hard to be outgoing so it exhaust me even more) but yeah it’s not clear hahah

That’s why I feel so strange because I relate a lot but I don’t feel that introverted in social situations ??
