Thank you so much.. that lobby quote explains me to a T. ❤

I am a sx 6w7, I am more phobic however - male beauty 6. Apparently the most difficult to type I heard. I want to be free of this fixation which means finding true security in the Self and the Divine, realising one’s indestructible essence.

Thanks Suzy. I can't figure out my subtype, need to think more about it. How likely is it for a social 2 to avoid groups and to be socially anxious or socially withdrawn, and for a sexual 2 to not use sexuality & seduction very much to fulfill their need for affection? I guess it's possible for many reasons to repress your instinct or to live a life in which it doesn't manifest so much ?

It's great to see you making more of these videos, I'm enjoying learning more about the subtypes of each type ♥

Beautiful and great work !

Wonderful! So succinct, clear and correct based upon my understanding of the enneagram 🙏🏻❤️👍

Beautiful Suzy! Thanks so much for sharing this! I really got a lot from it and it’s so smart, clever and obviously true! 🙏🏻✌️❤️

Great work. I love it. Waiting impatiently for the Type 8 subtypes video. Sincerely, an Sx8.

Thank you for this video. I suspected that psychological defense mechanisms were related to the Enneagram. You explain it well.

Hmm im 🌕infp 945🌙 with adhd, and because of this my personality feels very conflicting. Like i have a 5 which gives me a mich more logical approach to certian things and i dont always like it because i feel a bit out of place with being a feeler type. And then a 9 so im constantly just wanting peace ✌️ i really dont like conflict and enjoy when everyone does what they like, even if there is conflict i try not to involve or help give solutions to solve. For 4 its my only main type i guess i love creativity and am extremely emotional i hate being criticized too and like to be unique i always feel a bit embarrassed because of that but ive come to peace with such. ♡☆im also sorry for ranting i just like seeing a community of people i can relate to so much, its hard to have that when almost everyone i live with are thinkers and sensing types♡

Social 5’s????

Thank you for this lovely presentation. 😊

This was an enchanting video, your delivery is so unique. Great to see content that delves deeper into the differences of the subtypes like this - understanding the subtypes and wings were key for me to understand things about myself that seemed completely at odds with each other, so as 5w4 sx and intp in the mtbi, being the countertype of an enneagram countertype is a strange place to find yourself, with a constant battle between the heart and the mind and a raging intensity contained behind a mostly detached exterior (only discarded when in the presence of a special someone or someone who can handle what's burning beneath) The part about sharing emotional landscapes is hauntingly true. I connect with my husband passionately over emotionally intense music like metal, classical and rap - we both know exactly when a song will hit the same way for the other.. it's like a secret shared between. The confidant description is very apt.

"Subtly entrancing....their demeanour as soft as a whisper, their assertiveness as gentle as a breeze" Thank you, Suzy 😊I think I'm starting to see my true type more clearly now 💖

plsss, talk about that subtypes

Im such a self pres 5

I always wondered why I had the instinctive tendency to separate things in catgories, like the sacred from the profane, the supreme from the unworthy, sometimes being somewhat harsh with my statements. When I didn't understand the enneagram very well, I thought that perhaps it was a 1, due to the great dichotomies that accompanied me in the search for that knowledge, but later, reading about the social 5, I realized that it described me perfectly. Specficially a 5w4 so/sx with a blind sp. Thanks for the video, greetings.

Shall I add more to roast myself? 😂 ‘I never form strong opinions.’, ‘Let’s do this half-heartedly.’ 😅 I wonder how it would feel like to be such a person. I may try it one day. As an experiment.

Ouch 😅

Wonderfully done. You make it so simple to understand. 😁 You should write a book. An audio book 😊

This is a very cool, informative and pleasant video to watch. I've discovered almost a year ago,(now being in my twenties) that my type is 9 and that I still have to work on my strenghts and weaknesses in order to be fully aware of my potential and self-defense mechanism. Things like maintaining the peace, numbing out, symplifyng problems for an eassier, less painful outcome, living on auto-pilot, neglecting my needs and not setting my boundries sounded so dull and common in most people, that I haven't even payed attention to them in a while, but now I see they are crucial signs to observe for my own well-being! Keep the good job up! :D :)

Some fantastic books there. Bet wishes with your reading choices. I hope you are reading something good.

glad to see alice in 7 ^ -- ^ i heard alice as hero is enn5 tho

quick question where would you put the little prince ? - i think 9? mabe 6/7/4?

Thanks Suzy. Very interesting as usual

Books 🥰🤩 Thank you for making such entertaining video. If anyone comes across this comment, I would like to ask something - does anyone notice the influence that growth and stress lines have on them? P.S. I love Les Miserables. On the other hand, Pride and Prejudice is well written but I don’t like the story itself. And I haven’t read The Scarlet Letter. But I do like the books suggested for 4 and Alice’s Adventuress in Wonderland. Also, if I may, I would like to mention some other books I enjoy (just because I like talking about books). Hope you don’t mind. The Little Prince (one of my favorite books ever written), The Alchemist, The Shadow of The Wind, Before the Coffee Gets Cold, When Breath Becomes Air (looooove this book), What You Are Looking For is in the Library, The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life, Wonder, anything by Rilke and The Midnight Library (I am almost done with it and love it). What are some of your favorite books? If anyone is willing to answer this, leave a reply below.

I still don't know if so or sp

Great work, waiting for the type 1 video.

Thank you for sharing ! I am sp 5.

The sexual 5's description touched my heart ! ❤

I screamed gluttony at the screen before it even showed up🤦‍♀😂

The "enneagram" Symbolizes a dating game for adults. Gurjeiff would turn over in his grave. (or would he?) Not especially smooth often ruff around the edges (5). Wrather avoid conflict (9) Overwhelmed/ cant fit in.(4) 4,5,9 - I'm in the triad from hell. "The permanent I" ---- never lost it --- just found it. Thanks for your help hip hip horay .

I found this to be very informative 👍I've been putting off learning about the instinctual variants for a while now because it felt too overwhelming to filter through all the information but listening to you talk about this topic in such a calming way has really opened the door into this world for me, so thank you 🙏💜

Thank you Suzy. I didn't get very well what the countertype is. Would you have any examples to share?

I can't figure out wether I am Sx/So or So/Sx 🙂

Infp 945 sx/sp here.My friends take me as granted because of my notgiveafuckness and don't respect my bounderies so enough is enough already,so i don't mind having no friends.It turns out most of them are assertive.My vest friend who is a 3 think i am god without problems and don't make mistakes,i am starting to worry now.Also i am verry neurotic which is sort of uncommon for a 9

Type 1 and type 2's defense mechanism seem very similar, don't they?

Super interesting, thanks

I find reaction formation interesting and I am still trying to see how it is presented in general vs in me. Although I know that the example of appearing overly nice when you are angry doesn’t apply to me, I have noticed that I am fine-tuning anxiety into calm presence. I have to. Otherwise, my mind will explode with racing thoughts that are overwhelming. Another thing I have noticed is that when people talk reasonably, explaining why, I am receptive to it. Once they start being authoritative, domineering, dismissive and setting boundaries/rules, my brain automatically shuts it down and/or tries to find ways to override those things. Now, this part is a bit more cognitive related, I think. All in all, I find this really interesting as I keep exploring all areas of myself.

"Masters of discreetly rooting their feet into the ground" 😅 Truth. I'm just not ready to move until i know I'm not moving into chaos

Ugh yes. I’m a 954 which is funny because I can be so accommodating as a 9 but have a deep well of sensitivity of the 4 and when someone hits that spot (usually my wife) I MUST express my feelings of being hurt and then sulk for hours. I’m currently in therapy 😬

I am a tritype 954 infp-t man. 51. It’s very difficult being assertive with my kids or really anyone. It drives my wife crazy and has put stress on our relationship. But there isn’t much I can do about it. This tritype has some advantages but can be devastating at times too 😢

The way you run the channel calms me. That is a rarity (for me). Thank you. I have realized that a lot of the choices I am making are “wrong” due to my nature of being “on a mission”. I should probably abort all things that stress me if I want to remain healthy and move ahead in life.

Feels good to hear 😊
