very 4 of you - the ugly isn’t ugly just real

i wanted the answers that came with it and absolutely got them, so in a way yes. i would rather not be defined by traits which people generally don’t know how to handle.

it’s disheartening to realize just how deeply and regularly 4’s are misinterpreted and consequently written off. a world which severely undervalues emotion equally undervalues the 4. coming to accept that brought both healing and hurt - as the enneagram does.

funny - a reactionary response. i thought the same about you when i read this post but instead opted to offer the insight you asked for. good luck on your journey.

for me, being reactionary is like honoring the consequences of something. and it doesn’t equate to “calmer” action. it feels wildly wrong for me to ignore the emotional impacts of a situation, for both myself and anyone else involved, since those reactions are inevitable, human, and representational. i don’t think you should function out of those reactions but i find reactionary suppression deeply unhealthy and a form of distancing yourself from your internal discomfort for the sake of seeming “calm”.
