i came across a post on the enneagram institute that resonated with me a lot and i'm wondering about what you guys might think of this.

i didn't identify with the entire thing, but certain aspects of it had me kind of reeling with how much i could relate.
^this especially. i haven't seen anything like this in mainstream descriptions but i feel that there is something to it.I've come to the realization that I'm a particular kind of 9 that is not described at all in the literature, which I have given the term "counter-slothic nine." It is exactly as you described. Counter-slothic 9s focus so much on being aware, and fear not being aware of themselves, that they over-indulge in introspection to the point that they actually become asleep to themselves and living their lives. Introspection becomes a substitute for actually living their lives and showing up and drawing attention to themselves.
thoughts?
