    Default An SLE 6w7 CP sp/sx/so " a walking contradiction"

    I am the above mentioned type. I think it causes "mike tysons disease." The SLE is supposed to be a calm, fearless and confident in control personality. But the enneagram 6 is a nervous, anxious unconfident person who has trust and issues in believing in anything. Then to compensate with being "lost" said individual either becomes a withdrawn quiet guy who stays in the corner or just goes completely nuts and makes outrageous shows of force and aggression like a mad dog who cannot be controlled. What is this enigma supposed to do with his life???

    I'm not going to become a professional boxer anytime soon so I need some good suggestions. Any other 6w7s on here that understand my state? What have some of you done to quell these anxieties and actually feel secure?

    Okay, forget strrrng for a minute - going off your own judgement, are you a Six or an Eight? Could you be an Eight?

    Well, you can either stay a lost mysterious person and a troubled, problematic personality forever and make excuses about it affecting your life as such,

    or

    do something about it. When you get to making up more and more rationalizations about why you are a certain way, and why you don't like it, and why it makes sense and seems justified, that is an indication of some weird stuff going on (internally). Maybe you should check that out.

    That particular issue may not really related to the ennagram. How you deal with it, perhaps, might be.



    Really, it's probably just a part of growing up and finding yourself as a person. It's really deceptive to see movies and media and such where heroes are just shown as "the man with the plan" and the answer. And, actually, I can relate somewhat to going between two extremes in that way.

    What I've come to realize - whether it may help you or not I don't know - is that when I'm in a more intimate setting or a setting where I'm talking about "deep" things, then the calmness is better and more natural. But when there is more stuff going on, it's also just as natural to be extremely energized and mobilized and push other people towards doing the same or just towards moving forward - speak faster and everything else. For a while these differences were weird, but, over time I seem to be realizing that it's ok to have both sides, or the different facets of myself come through. It did take a good amount of sort of "mis-applying" things to get it right, but, I think that's entirely natural, now that I come to understand it more.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    ~an extraverted consciousness is unable to believe in invisible forces.
    ~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.

    Okay I'm changing my type opinion on him from 6w7 sp/so to 6w7 sp/sx...too touchy/prickly for sx-last flatness...too internally tortured. As a general rule phobic 6s are sx-last and counterphobic 6s aren't.

    What about the fact that he is an SLE? That doesn't really make sense for a Six.

    Why wouldn't ESTp make sense for enneagram type 6?

    That's closest to a fratboy archetype.

    "Mike Tyson's disease" LMAO

    To the OP, yes, I understand your state somewhat, but I believe I'm sx/sp. Or so I tested..

    I was just talking about "Faith" from Buffy in another thread, but I've probably got her disease. Heh. Almost as pissed as Mike, but not quite.. edit: An'yways, what I do to quell my probs is talk to the people I can trust, I guess. I'm at my worst when I tell myself I'm alone, that no one or nothing is reliable. And on that note (about family and friends), I think it's bullshit to call that "dependency" or whatnot. To look outwards. Self-assurance is a good thing, but there should be some balance.
