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 Then to compensate with being "lost" said individual either becomes a withdrawn quiet guy who stays in the corner or just goes completely nuts and makes outrageous shows of force and aggression like a mad dog who cannot be controlled.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?

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.
