It's just...the context makes it seem like an ego-driven statement. Maybe it's not. But it seems like it.
In the interest of appearing humble, I have. millions of times.
I don't think that's exclusive to any type, really.not me. I legitimately have thought about it. I've even considered E3 and E9 because of this "hollow" feeling I sometimes experience within my protective walls.
*shrug* I was convinced I was 7w8 or 8w7 beyond all shred of a doubt, and had read E3 descriptions, and thought they were pretty much the opposite of me. Then one day, I dunno, it just clicked, and felt undeniable from that point on. If you haven't isolated that part of yourself yet, it's expected you wouldn't identify. But then again, you're not me, so *shrug* I just don't think you are E8.In the end, I cannot escape this line from enneagraminstitute.
Just make sure you do everything they tell you, and do it well, and don't break any rules. As a person who has always had this same problem, I can tell you it's what's worked best for me, because you can't change who you are, and if you do you are a coward, so the only thing to do is make yourself worth more than your "attitude problem" is "costing" them.Well that's the problem. When I maintain my boundaries, the boss starts getting on my case for having an "attitude problem" until problems seem to snowball and I either get fired or they micromanage me until I get frustrated and quit. I'm a gymnastics instructor right now and I love my job but I haven't ruled out the possibility that this may become a problem in the future.
