i dont like to be controlled, but only because i allow people to control me all of the time. remember, 9s are withdrawn, so i will become a hermit and avoid everyone to keep my peace and to avoid feeling obligated to do things that i would rather not do. i think that turning off my phone and being unavailable or unreachable is a selfish habit of mine unfortunately

As a 9 this was very helpful. Thank you. I especially like the way you listen to and value the thoughts of your beautiful daughter. As a child I merged with my mother and seldom voiced my thoughts or opinions. When I did, they were usually discounted so more and more, I simply listened and nodded in agreement. As a teenager, I had no idea who I was or even what I liked and disliked. Love & blessings to all the 9’s out there! 💕💕

This was difficult to listen to. I think often though, when some of us have lived without utilizing our voice for long enough, those in our lives take advantage of that by guilt-tripping into getting us to do whatever they want. People catch on to that pattern, and then when you start to use your voice, start to exert your own opinions, then they are offended and hurt. When this happens enough times, it becomes a deterrent to actually sharing your voice again. This is a vicious cycle. I struggle with it a lot.

But for me, taking action and facing the consequences brings a sense of dread, funny thing is, we create these difficult situations by endorsing behaviours that give quick but short lived pleasure. Honestly it’s infuriating But identifying this flaw is the first step to healing

Great video! I am so glad I watched, which I almost didn’t when I saw it was an hour long. But the video was so engaging it went by in a flash. It’s funny that I feel like I have a foot in each of the stages of health. At least I am becoming self aware enough to question “is that because I am avoiding making an opinion?” My problem is I avoid opinions and “bad emotions” because that seems too much like marketing a judgement or taking sides, which is in conflict with my peacemaking nature. I love both of your videos! They have been so helpful! I especially love the two of you together. Please keep them coming.

This was an informative video :) I think I'm a 9; I'm pretty calm and agreeable, but I try to stand up for myself. It seems to me that many type 9 people have grown up in a particular type of family where you felt like your voice wasn't heard as much as you'd like, a feeling of being ignored because one of your family members often interrupted you or didn't listen attentively...

Yup, I definitely didn't feel heard in my family... which then created a cycle of me closing down because I didn't feel heard, and not speaking up when I should have, and so how COULD they even have the chance to hear me if I don't speak up for myself. I've carried that into my other relationships, too. Working on it, though. :)

@@dakris2682 so hard to be brutal and pushy when the heart wants peace and connection. I will never stop caring and being sensitive, I just need to learn better and practice staying grounded in that when someone tries to disrupt me on purpose. I love the idea of putting up boundaries instead of walls. I'd been putting up walls for way too long, which shuts myself in and keeps others out, whereas I'd much rather set boundaries, which can be flexible but also strong. I will always do my best to choose compassion and softness over aggression and hardness.

Unfortunately, when I 'woke up', was last year well into adulthood. Utilizing my voice has been the most painful process due to exactly what you mentioned. There are people in our lives who would rather us be silent so that they can get what they want all of the time. Think about what that means... they would rather separate from you than to harmonize with you as you use your voice. They would rather continue to speak for you. That is a very painful realization, and I don't think that they considered this outcome in the video due to the daughter's young age. She is immensely lucky that she has a father who likely 'woke her up' due to his research. I suspect there are far more 9s with our experience of the backlash from narcissistic people who would rather take advantage of us than to let us be our true selves. Jillian, your voice matters. You deserve to be here. What they did/are doing is wrong. You matter too. I wish you love and light as you learn this important truth.

I'm a 9W1 INFP and can relate to so much in this video! Definitely on the more unhealthy side, and for most of my life I've backed out of difficult relationships because it was easier (though honestly not really more fulfilling) to be alone than to full stress out, physically and mentally, ruminating and ruminating and not sure how to share my own emotional state with the other person with my words... But I've been working and practicing and listening to my self more and better lately, including with a past partner (who may be a 6? I'm not sure) and I've actually been able to practice with them while not in relationship. That's actually helping quite a bit. I truly appreciate y'all's videos, especially this one. I'll be listening again and again, as I'm sure there will be different things I miss or focus on each time. Thank you!!

At 55:00 hold up, Doc, that scenario in my family of origin happened/happens actually too often. Speaking up-while creating safe space for other person to do same-does sometimes include the experience of other person becoming unhinged. And I do understand that it’s their stuff, that I don’t need to take it personally, that I’m not responsible for them. But omg does it make it difficult to resolve conflict. It often feels worth it to do the work of going along to get along over the work of trying to genuinely connect.

Grrr, the 9 in me does not want to do this. But perhaps this is the time that I could/ought to push myself to not slip into my typical sloth-mode but rather get up and help a friend in need!

Love all of your videos! Thanks for making them. I wanted to add something to the fear of anger part you guys discussed. For me it’s a question of feeling overwhelmed & out of control. I’m afraid of other people’s anger and my own because it feels so intense and overwhelming. I’m getting better at expressing anger in healthy ways but I still do a lot to avoid angering others. Now I come to think of it, all expressions of intense emotions feel overwhelming to some degree. Even intense joy or happiness. That may be because I’m highly sensitive though and have nothing to do with being a 9.

I get this. I have a friend who has had multiple health issues over many years and cannot do much (or can't see how she can do much) for herself. She often asks me to take out trash and pick up prescriptions for her because she can't get out by herself, and I always say yes because, even though I work full time and am a single mom to two teens, I DO have health and physical ability to help her... and yet am I really helping her? Or am I enabling her? And if I started saying no, that I can't/don't want to help her any longer, I would be fulfilling the fear she's shared multiple times, that she might push me away by asking me to do too much for her...

@@kriannmon do you feel she’s calling On you for things she’s able to do herself? does she have other people to call upon? Do you feel your kindness is being taken for granted and you’re being taken advantage of. I completely relate to the surge of stress when you know you should set a boundary (and speak your mind) but you don’t because it’ means possible conflict or disappointing someone. I have this fight with myself every single time I don’t speak up. I resent them for putting me in the same position again but truth is I’m mad at myself for refusing to set a boundary. IF they’re disappointed with you, that’s THEIR feeling to deal with. The dialogue they should have with themselves is “she has the right to say no”... I think another part of it is that we don’t have the scripts to draw in because we have no practice saying no. “Sorry I can’t swing it today .... I bet you can arrange for deliver.y...... “ (I’m pretty good at deflecting hahah).

She's gotten herself into a position physically where she never leaves her house (she probably weighs about 400 lbs, with multiple mental and physical health issues, plus she doesn't want to risk getting covid), so she has groceries delivered (not by me) and asks me to pick up her prescriptions and take out trash and get her mail from the apartment mailboxes. Every once in a while I do say no, no explanation why, just that I can't help her that day, and that usually goes okay. She does have a couple of other people who she asks to help her now and then, too. Though I have this weird fear of letting her down (not peaceful), because she's been through so much in her lifetime (early sexual abuse/trauma, overpowering father, PTSD, anxiety, depression...), while I also more recently wonder, would she even want to be friends with me if I wasn't helping her? In which case, like Kaylee says in the video, maybe she's not really a friend...

I remember reading ‘behind every feeling is a thought.... change the thought and you change the feeling’, so that’s why I’m always trying to find a thought (aka a feeling) that I can live with. But it’s allllll us avoiding setting boundaries. I ended up in a codependent relationship with a narcissist. He Happily played his sympathy card at the get go. Just like your friend has. You cannot save her from herself. I tried to teach him happiness. I spent 16 years and finally learned the lesson. That I matter more than he does. I had to save myself. There are people who will happily use every breath of yours. She sounds like one of them. Distance yourself gradually. She WILL replace you with someone else (unfortunate for the new “supply”). She can do more Han she’s doing. They prey on empathetic people.

@@wendysmith9682 Ahhhhhhhh, yes, SO much of that rings so true with me. I'm so sorry you dealt with narcissism for so long. :( Annnnd I'm SO glad you were able to get out of it!! Goooood for you! I'll definitely check out that podcast, too. Annnnnd I really just need to listen to myself and set my boundaries and not just keep reading and listening to things that might help... overthinking as avoidance to the point of not doing anything at all. Yep, I feel you. Thank you so much!

Question: can you be a healthy 9 with some people, and less with others? I feel like the healthiest 9 with people I love, we conflict and make up, I open up and are truthful about my thoughts and fedlings... but people I am in deep conflict with makes me feel like the most unhealthy - especially if it has lasted for a while and I find myself backing away, ignoring them and really struggling with my emotions...

When they talked about not being on a team that reminded me of something that happened when I was about 14. I wanted a new baseball hat but I couldn’t pick one. I didn’t feel any allegiance to any of the teams that were popular in my area so I actually got in umpire’s hat. Haha I literally chose the referee

I've watched a bunch of your videos and appreciate most of the content. I notice however that you seem to have issues finding the good qualities of 9s. Am I noticing a lot of judgement here? I'd love to see information about the higher qualities of 9 and the value they bring to the world. The 9's I know are very wise, which I appreciate deeply.
