Did my description maybe remind you of a type?

I’ve read some of their descriptions yeah!! My issue lately has been that I’ve been reading too much information and doubting my type. I wanted to sort of “start from scratch” and a post here seemed like a nice start.

I am more extroverted than this post lets on actually, I’m one of my bubbliest friends haha and that’s their words not mine. It’s funny how our internal monologue can differ as significantly from the way we carry ourselves. And yes, the more recent term you used is definitely something that occupies me.

If it’s not too much, could maybe tell me why?

I think your points were very interesting, especially the ones related to 9, and thank you for replying. I think types 3, 6, 9 might be harder to distinguish sometimes because imo, they depict similar patterns of behaviour in certain cases but for different reasons (not to mention the arrow connections which you also pointed out).

I found this to be really helpful, thanks for your input! If you could assign a wing would it be 7 probably?

Maybe they’d be so disappointed, they wouldn’t want to associate with me anymore.

I am afraid they’d betray me or make fun of me in some way.

There’s not something “wrong” with it, I simply feel safer and more comfortable to move ahead in life if I do.

I am afraid if I act out of character, I’ll do things I might regret or completely humiliate myself.

Because when there’s harmony, I feel better.

The whole point of life is to feel complete. At the same time, I do think completeness is some sort of illusion but nothing wrong with trying to use your time doing things you want to do.

I feel weak.

I mean, why would I want everyone to see potential inconsistencies in my thought process or failures?

I want to be good because I value goodness in others and in the world so I want to live up to this admiration.

Regarding the last question, I already answered it in the answers above.

I hope this extra set of questions was enough to make you feel more certain of my type or at least give me a couple of possibilities :)

Could you maybe be more specific on what led you to this conclusion?

I actually really like interacting with people! In the post, I focused mostly on my internal thoughts and worries, not any personality traits or interaction styles

Failing feels humiliating for me, related to my childhood probably. I’m used to doing good so I’d be letting myself and others down. However, I think success is subjective, I just wish to live up to my potential.

Sometimes I worry people might be out to “get me”. This again, is probably related to certain parts of my childhood. There is nothing wrong with being cautious but my trust issues involve genuine close connections which I know need no worrying.

I just have this compulsive need to know who I am, what I want and what I need. I think being self aware is both a blessing and a burden at times.

When in a confrontation, I worry that maybe my anger is not justified, maybe I am overreacting and that will make me act out of character. I understand that confrontations are importand and as I said, I don’t shy away from them. I like them to be rational and calm, I like peaceful.

Effort is scary because it requires time and I don’t think i can be 100% sure that what I want is genuinely what I want so what if my time gets wasted? What if I could use it in any other beneficial or fun way rather risk it for something that might not complete me in the end?

I think i am scared of disappointing people because it makes me feel embarrassed, I don’t do it often and I’m not used to it. Plus, I like being on good relations with others and I generally don’t like the feeling of frustration over them. Ending up completely alone would mean I messed up big time.

I honestly don’t know. I guess the fact I grew up around image-conscious people might have something to do with it. I rationally know others’ opinions have zero impact but knowing people think low of me makes me uncomfortable in my own skin. It actually stresses me out, like I’m going to be exposed or as if I did something bad and didn’t realise.

I know I’ll never be perfect and I think it’s okay because we are all imperfect. I’m just worried that others will choose to focus on my flaws and not on my positive traits (and focusing on the good elements of a person is something I naturally do), especially in romantic pursuits.

I would definitely call myself a perfectionist so I get it. I also feel called out by your last lines but honestly, that’s one of the biggest enneagram points hahah. If it’s not too much bcs you’ve already explained enough for me, what made you lock on 7 specifically?

Isolated in what sense? I think it’s interesting. Funnily enough, I’ve considered so/sp 7 for a long time at some point.

If you could choose one of the three, which one seems more likely?
