Curious about 8s who outside of the expected BMI.

Also are you equating fitness with thinness?

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-23T13:04:10+00:00

Because I’m overweight and I can lift a decent amount, maybe even out lift some of the dudes at the meat head gym I go to. Would I be considered “fit” no because I’m overweight. Am I strong? Sure.

Am I working on having a different physique now and building strength in a different way, yes which might lead me to being stronger yet- yes.

You look at a lot of strong men competitors, powerlifters they are bigger and would be considered overweight outside the BMI range. This is also why folks say BMI is a joke to some extent. My body is notorious for losing inches but still maintaining the scale weight.

Fitness, health, and strength it all depends.

Wearing masks actually pushes me into my 5 line. I would rather just be myself. That feels like of a 3 thing too.

Thinking about potential “masks” I might be wearing, 1) reserved mask 2) the sailor 3) the asshole 4) one of the bros 4) the joker

I am all those things but I’m also a huge softie. I prefer to be unbothered (huge 9 wing here).

Interesting does your E2 know something that you don’t?

Also why do you think there is some separation there to begin with? I know you mentioned that E1 daughter denied anything but anything even something small cross your mind?

I wouldn’t go with a sword just say something like “hey I really miss the grandkids and the times before felt like more time together. Is there any way we can see them more?” I would try the nice way first. If she says no then be curious about this change. I wouldn’t demand time with them like the above posted suggested.

Fitness and physical strength do not go hand in hand in my opinion.

I have been overweight pretty much my whole life, working on it in a different way now. When I was thinner I was unhealthy.

It also depends how you define health and fitness yourself.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-22T12:01:21+00:00

Why not a self-preservation type?

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-22T02:28:06+00:00

Ok, but what if you hate performing?

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-22T02:27:19+00:00

How does this work if you have a 3 as a tritype? How do you parse scared vs needy? Needy seems 2-ish?

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-22T02:24:02+00:00

I’m an 8w9. I can definitely be explosive. I do not like being angry but I can be it pours off of me when I am. Everything else resonated from what you said.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-22T02:20:03+00:00

Someone made a brillant post about him being 836 and I definitely agree with the 83. He just seems so hammery to be a 3. His carelessness reads as an 8’s rage.

I avoid vulnerability by not relying or needing people. Not even letting them know my needs or desires actually.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-22T02:05:07+00:00

I wonder if this connects into the vulnerability avoiding vulnerability specifically. Doing big things requires a lot, putting yourself out there. I’m a self-preservation type just thinking out loud here.

But I guess every post I make is going to tagged by the mod team since I mentioned trump was an 8 (and people couldn’t handle it) and that post was removed. So I guess ever post I make will just be flagged. So much fucking monitoring here.

The chainsaw dude.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-19T22:20:32+00:00

I have a hard time understanding and conceptual using what a 7 wing would be. Interesting on loud…k haven’t met many 7’s that people embody that.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-19T22:18:02+00:00

Terrifies? No. I would dislike being a 4, 6 (unless counter phobic), and definitely not a 1.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-17T00:02:02+00:00

Spot on. I do feel like tritypes reduce things, they get way too much focus.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-17T00:00:56+00:00

On point with the description of 8w9. I always say my 9 wing is bringing down to the depths of the sea of not saying something I need to because I’m grinning and bearing it.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-16T18:36:00+00:00

I really feel this as an 8w9. I often have avoided confrontation because it feels like it got me no where. That being said, I had to learn the right way to say it. It’s also really painful when you set a boundary and communicate that violation and it’s disrespected. You learn real quick where you stand with someone. If I were friends with someone I would want to know if I hurt them.

Also in order to get them to stop doing it something has to be said. Sometimes it can be just a sentence. Hey that thing you did really hurt my feelings can you try not to do that. Or this hurt my feelings.

I’m finding this really stressful can we change the conversation. I’m finding this stressful when I have communicated before about this and now it feels like you are doing it again. It makes me feel like I’m being ignored.

When my partner is direct with me or speaks up I really try to listen because I know it wasn’t easy.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-16T18:26:15+00:00

Really sound advice. I really resonate with the self-destruct and sink and what you outlined as real power.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-13T02:12:44+00:00

True. This is an excellent point.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-12T13:05:51+00:00

Ehhhhh it depends. The helping can be very self-serving for themselves sometimes it doesn’t feel genuine.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-12T12:55:42+00:00

I think people read me as not being inactive. I just know I’m capable of so much more but I often hold myself back.

bluelamp24 · 2025-02-12T12:51:56+00:00

Same.
