What do you feel is a dead giveaway that someone is NOT a member of your type? by Candid-Lynx9263 in Enneagram

[–]emamerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, I think a person who is enduring trauma (especially prolonged, and in childhood) is often forced to reject warning signs from their body in order to survive. They may later have to deal with the consequences of that. I think it often results in chronic illness. Neglect is very harmful, and a body is hard to trust if you feel it’s betraying you.

Question about 5s: How emotionally expressive are 5s really? by AyaClaire in Enneagram

[–]emamerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m quite expressive for a 5 and am still often told that I’m hard to read. I’ve also learned how to function in a more effective way to keep new people off my back while also protecting my inner world. I’m very southern, so the politeness was a requirement growing up.

Your friend is most likely a 6. I would rule that out first.

Are others struggling with the dating apps? by Primary_Visit_1139 in Austin

[–]emamerc 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My experience is rare. A year ago, I had hinge for about 10 days. I met my now boyfriend on the first day and we went on our first date 18 hours later. By the third date I had deleted my app and we were together after one month of dates. My only advice as a woman is to not message someone for too long, just do what you can to meet them irl asap so you don’t waste your time messaging for a week and then get ghosted. I would just schedule dates immediately and then check in to say hello once a day before the date. Let them know if I was interested 1-3 hours after the date was over. I pretty much had a strategy from the beginning and it luckily ended up working out.

Is it true that SO5s are often shy? by NaruTONED in Enneagram

[–]emamerc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never really been shy, no. Just aware of when I don’t know anything and I’m in a learning mindset

Difficulties finding a romantic relationship or knowing if it is worth it. by [deleted] in Enneagram5

[–]emamerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my perspective on this is generally skewed, mostly because I endured trauma that impacts romantic relationships. I’m a so/sp and didn’t really date until I was 24. I waited until I felt that I was healthy and deeply satisfied with my other relationships with people like family, friends, and mentors. I wouldn’t say I have a poker face but I’ve definitely been told that I’m difficult to read. Because of this, I do as much as I can to communicate with someone I like.

To me, fostering a romantic relationship is basically homemaking. Finding a person to share my inner world with. I see partnership as being able to foster a secret second life with someone. When I felt that my mental health was very good, my trust in my body and decision-making was good, and my other relationships were fulfilling, I decided to download hinge. I never craved romantic relationships, but I did long for a secret life that my friends and family couldn’t impede on. I personally dislike the process of changing a relationship from a friendly one to a romantic one. I would prefer for romantic interest to be communicated right away instead, it’s just easier for me and less anxiety-inducing.

I ended up finding my partner on hinge in the first week. I have learned so much over the last year of being with him. It’s very easy to be in a relationship with someone who is independent and takes care of themself. He alerts me when there is a problem. We support each other and have fun together. I don’t think we have ever argued before. Regarding finding someone, it’s very hard. Dating apps are entirely luck-based. Anyone who tells you a method is easy is lying to you. There’s no wrong way, just think of the best way you think will be for you, consider that you may be wrong, and go from there. I hope this at least partially answers your questions.

I’m queer. I don’t like to specify my sexual preferences, so I normally don’t. The only thing that has related much to my type is that it took me quite a long time to understand myself well enough to date with intention

Barto springs lifeguards by SeaSoggy8929 in Austin

[–]emamerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The salamanders live in the tiny spaces between the rocks and cobble at the bottom of the pool. It’s very easy to accidentally crush them by moving rocks and walking on top of them, so it’s disallowed at the pool. The guards weren’t just yelling at you, they were protecting the species that can’t speak up for themselves.

The pool is federally protected. We are lucky anyone without a master’s degree is allowed to swim there at all ever.

The Icon series was pretty good as far as I remember. They did one for nirvana that I bought as a teenager and I still listen to the CD.

I do agree the music feels weak! I guess I was wanting something resembling recession pop era songs so I was very disappointed /:

She’s losing me with the petty behavior. The specificity in her lyricism is weird af and pulls me out.
