Enneagram 7w8 VS 7w6 // Which Type Are You Really?

[@intothefire9270]

Total 7w6 here :) I always want everyone to be having fun with me.

[@Thespiritualrebel_]

Thank youuuu im a trauma babe so at first i couldnt define my real mbti or eneagram tipology. I believe I am an ENFP-T and 7w6 with subtype Sx dom. I was too naive and happy, then I started being very afeaid of the world and started overanalyse others till being completely exausted, I still do it trying to find the real me, and blocked by not being productive and spending energy wrong, so the goal is to stablish practial tatics and realistic ideas and building a routine and be able to make some of those ideas to work in my favor. Finacial stability, fear of being not capable, and wanting my self-expression back.

7w8, I’m not disgusted by people or anything but I’m trying to fight a dragon every day. If they’re gonna help they’re welcome, but don’t slow me down.

[@Kyoto99952]

Thank you so much, this was so helpful to me especially when you used your bother as an example. The very same thing happened to me. First I was 7w8 bold, competitive, confident then got a good taste of failure in college where my dissertation was rejected twice. After second rejection in summer 2019, I became heavily depressed and anxious. After a break of a couple of months I could start again and finally graduated. But the whole experience turned me into a 7w6 and I''m still not fully recovered from that 3,5 years later. I am very cautious and insecure. I feel a lot of anxiety and notice I choose security. I resent myself for it and I am making a lot of effort to return to my original 7w8. I want to be bold again :(

It can be so hard to embrace a wing when we feel judged for it. I think for 7s especially so. This will probably take forgiving yourself for your past "mistakes" as you may call them in order to allow yourself to embrace your 8 wing again.

Is there a way I could consciously change my wing? From 7w6 to a 7w8 for example?

[@Thespiritualrebel_]

Yes definitely! You really just have to set your life up for situations in which you spend more of your time doing things for that wing than the other wing. To really CHANGE the wing, you would essentially be trying to rewire your mind for an innate tendency toward challenge over security (in this 7w8 example). People rewire their minds all the time when they're manifesting things and it's sorta the same idea. By doing challenging things more often than social, community based things, you're creating a habit which eventually becomes your normal tendency. Hope this helps!
