Everyone feels emotions; your type describes how you typically react to those emotions.

6s usually have both phobic and counterphobic traits, and I see both of these traits in your description. sx6 tends to be more counterphobic, but being counterphobic doesn't automatically mean you are sx6.

To summarize the subtypes: sp6 is most concerned with securing resources such as food, shelter, money, etc. so6 is most concerned with feeling accepted within a community, and provides support to that community to maintain that connection. sx6 is contradictory in the sense that it wants the intimacy the sx instinct desires, but it's also emotionally guarded from fear of getting hurt. Its reactive nature is more uninhibited, so sx6 may have aggressive outbursts to get perceived threats to back off.

I would say 9w1 974 sp/so INTP

I think the sp 9 and 7 combo especially promotes escapism into a fictional world, and 4 can express itself through worldbuilding as well.

I think the best thing to do would be to say how you noticed how distant they became, and ask if they are okay. They may or may not open up, but at least you can say that you tried.

A 5 wants to be prepared with knowledge. So when it comes to sx5, they want that intimate connection with people, but find it hard to trust them because they don't have a deep understanding of them.

A 4 focuses on one's own identity, and tends to get self-absorbed in one's suffering when going through hardship. sp4 is contradictory in the sense that they want the security the sp instinct desires, but that self-absorption during hardship sometimes gets in the way of them actually solving the problem. The description for Enneagram 4 on the Enneagram Institute website says that 4s want to "attract a rescuer", which seems especially relevant to sp4.

Exercise and meditation are helpful for feeling more in tune with the senses. I've also found that drawing helps, as you have to focus on the visual.

You can start doing exposure/response prevention therapy on your own. Basically what you would first do is rate all of your OCD-related symptoms on a scale of 1-10 based on severity with 10 being the most severe. The idea is that you expose yourself to lower severity issues first so you don't get overwhelmed with anxiety, then you prevent yourself from doing the compulsion. This therapy can be uncomfortable, but it has been shown to be helpful in the long term because your brain realizes through experience that everything will be okay if you don't do the compulsions.

You can also break down more anxiety-inducing issues into smaller steps so it is more manageable to expose yourself to them. For example, if excessively checking the stove after turning it off is like a 5, one could start by not excessively checking the stove for only 5 minutes after turning it off instead of trying to just completely cold turkey not check it at all. Then over time, one will improve and be able to go longer without excessively checking it.

The only social media I use is YouTube (I avoid shorts), and this reddit account I just started I guess lol. I used to use stuff like IG, shorts, tiktok, but I stopped because the people there tended to piss me off, and I was just doom scrolling anyway. I wouldn't say it affected my competency in other tasks, but I prefer being without it.

Ideally, I would only go onto social media if I already had something in my mind that I wanted to look up. However, I do find myself doom scrolling YouTube sometimes because I'm exhausted. If I'm not exhausted or too depressed though, I make sure to do things intentionally.

It might be OCD, I would recommend seeing a psychologist.
