the bit about love languages at the end was SPOT ON. receiving gifts makes me feel soooo awkward, and its really hard for me to see love in a gift when it misses the mark. its like, i thought you understood me but i guess you didnt🥲and now i have a physical reminder of that misunderstanding that i get to keep forever

@marissachapman4078 Жыл бұрын
I was in a long-term relationship with a 4. My biggest struggle was he idealized me from afar and wanted more quality time but when we would spend time together he was constantly frustrated with me (push-pull dynamic). He dominated conversations with mundane work stories or the expression of his creative and political ideas. He didn't inquire about my feelings and experiences (as a 9 that is very triggering). When I finally suggested therapy he raged because he felt I was trying to change who he was (which was not the case). I only wanted us to learn skills to bring us back together. Oh, and he HATED gifts! Wanted Christmas canceled :P

You have no idea how often I've paused the video because of how accurately you described the things I can't put into words; I was either laughing or cringing at my coping style. As a 4w5 sx, the withdrawing part was wonderfully articulated, and I'm horrified that I keep doing that in real life and in my imagination. I tend to withdraw from my family and friends because I feel like I've overexposed myself in some way and see if they noticed I was gone or not. If not, I get annoyed at them... and clearly, I need to work on adequately communicating that withdrawing phase. For authenticity, I can see through my family and friends unsaid words and facades, and when the time is right, they tend to share things with me - ESPECIALLY the painful topics that they rarely discuss with anyone else. Most of the time, I cry (the usual) or empathize (maybe even beyond that) with them. My soul felt connected to them at that profound moment, given both of my wings tend to reflect on their reason(s) and emotions. As an artist, intuition is helpful when it comes to expressing myself! It pulls me out of my rut, and I start getting out there and posting my art again! It also helps me be more aware of my reactions and how to direct them to something meaningful instead. Thinking about it, I should develop my wing 3 more to get myself out there. Also, the last section was uncanny because there was this one time I and my family discussed what love language they preferred. We all share a common one: words of affirmation, so it's a pretty spot on for me! I also added that my second language is quality time. Anyways, great video! I can't wait for the Enneagram 5 video next week :)

The thing about love languages is sooo true... I’d rather you just give me a letter professing your love and admiration rather than a gift that I feel you didn’t think deeply about. There’s nothing I hate more than unintentional gifts ... or gifts just for the sake of gifting it makes me feel like you really don’t understand me. Because I crave intensity and deep connection, you’re better off telling me why you got me the gift rather than buying me some really expensive and fancy gift like a piece of jewelry that had no thought process behind it whatsoever.

As a four, I've been reflecting //ofc I've been XD// abt the gift giving thing. Although I do appreciate when someone gifts me something that really resonates with me, and it clearly shows that they know me, what I want, etc. As I watched ur video "Type 4s Explained," I realize that I don't need to interpret it from that pov. Giving a gift that doesn't resonate with me doesn't have to mean that someone doesn't know me or can't love me the way I want to be loved that is through meaning and understanding. Instead it can show a part of how they think of me which is different with how I think of myself. A gift and an insight at the same time. Or, maybe they just aren't the type to love by meaning, or they don't have the time and energy, and that's okay. Interpreting and identifying patterns, once noticed, makes it easier to be a healthy 4. Objective journaling of unhealthy patterns and where they stem from, then create new ones, I think are some great ways to self-improve that is natural for type 4's. Thank you Colton!

love your take on the love languages. I’m a 4. If you give me a gift I don’t like, omg I will judge you so bad. 😅, confirmation that you don’t know me confirms feelings of being misunderstood , reinforcing how lonely and unloveable I am, etc etc. A 1 friend who “accidentally on purpose” drops and breaks items that aren’t good enough, or bins or sends the offending article to the charity store, has helped me deal with this. My partner gave me some jewellery early on, it was nearly enough to make me want to break up with him. He obviously learnt, and doesn’t give me gifts these days, except he does give me quality time and appreciation. 👌 for me.

Thank you! These videos... damn. What a great gift to all of us who are looking to the enneagram as a tool to learn and grow. One thing I can say in response as a 4 -- Yes, we love it when people share their deep and vulnerable feelings with us, unless their deep and vulnerable feelings are about how we (4s) hurt them. Since we feel like misunderstood outcasts, this can feel super wounding, which of course sucks for our partners when we retreat. Something for 4s to keep in mind for those moments when you can either move towards and support, or run and hide. Again, Thanks!

Your videos are excellent. I am a four with a three wing. I am 28 and have never been in a relationship romantically because of a lot of the traits that you have described. A mixture of fear of being truly seen and accepted for my sometimes messy emotions, and fantasy/creative life I live in my head, and my genuine love for being independent and in control and able to live in my fantasy world with no interruptions or judgment, a lot of it due to my childhood.. I realize more than ever recently, that in order to actually accomplish the goals that I am so passionate about in my life I actually have to take daily disciplined steps, and it’s so easy to fall out of that. The creative part of me overtakes the realistic part of me. So I’m working on that Lol. I’m also, according to the national enneagram Institute, almost equally a type 8, as I am a type 4. So battling with my type four traits, I also struggle with trying to dominate situations and my desire to be a valued leader, particularly when it comes to my passion for human rights, but I feel like I’m actually on the healthier side of my 8 personality where I allow my own humanity to be seen just as much as my passion for helping others and I don’t feel like I need to control as much as leading with empathy knowledge and trust in myself. I feel like I can be a leader in that way. In a healthy way. My type four is where I struggle, but I have reached more and more towards being a healthy 4 over the past few years. And I definitely see myself in the three wings how I want to be successful and liked and seen as sophisticated. In my art specifically. As someone who is an actress and singer, and wants to be successful in it, and genuinely wants to be seen, and be proud of who I am, I constantly, and I mean constantly, am thinking about different celebrities that I admire, comparing myself to them, trying to find similar traits with myself to validate myself since I really do feel like there is always something wrong with me lol. Your videos described everything perfectly, and it was almost like an out of body experience hearing myself described like that. Each time I learn more about my personality type, the more I understand it and I see the growth and I understand what I need to do to continue to grow. This stuff is so cool. I am really proud to be a four, I read that we are the rarest of personality types and I really believe that four is, typically artists, humanitarian, etc. help change the world, and I can’t think of anything better. Kind of the point of life, to know who you are, to reflect humanity, and be able to help others genuinely and authentically live life. To me, that’s the meaning of life. ❤

I consistently test as a 5. So far I haven't been able to relate to descriptions of 5w4 or 5w6 very well. But I MUST have a 4 wing because I am emotional. And I recognize myself in some of this. However, that thing about the gifts....that's not me. As others have said, they hate Christmas. As a logical person who also hates Christmas, I actually gave it up for a long time. But it's not because people can't shop right for me. I'm grateful for anything. I just hate environmental waste, I dislike things that make no sense ideologically, and I'm sorry but I HATE shopping for people who are like the #4 as described here. Let's all just buy our own stuff and be happy.

Omg you have read me like a book. 😭🤣 sp/so 4w3, though I feel my 5 wing is growing each year. I’m currently in a relationship with an 8w9 sp and let me tell ya… it is really making me unlearn some unhealthy co-dependency and take more action than before. Also makes me feel lonely at times? Processing big emotions outwardly are sometimes not his thing, so that’s something I had to get used to. It’s nice to learn the good, the bad, and the ugly from each other and about ourselves. You live, you learn!!! 💜 Thank you for your informative videos!!! Another thing-I can definitely see the disintegration into 2 by trying to people-please when things go south. And then integration into 1 during pivotal moments. When someone is angry, I automatically think-what’s wrong with me? How can I make it right? What do I need to do to fix this (and often think I need to change). When a big event happens, like when my mom got diagnosed with cancer, I felt I was the emotional lighthouse for people and could think straight through the fog of the news. I’d been the person to be with others during chemo treatments when I was younger, so I felt like I could better process the unknown and decipher things with other people. But I’m still working on giving this type of patience to myself.

@@katrinaaustinmancclpcc7275 SAME! AMEN!!! As a 4, I really try to contain myself and stay out of drama despite the stereotypes of most 4s-because I know I can come across emotionally intense. But I do articulate my emotions well. My bf is 8w9, so he’s not very verbal despite being quietly intense but man oh man… when he gets pissed off, there is a distinct aura. And then I’m over here trying to bubble my overflowing emotions. 😂 But at the end of the day, we can both talk openly about it, which I am glad about.

I rather not get a gift or a card if it reflects the (often) tacky taste of the giver with no thought of my likes; it has nothing to do with ingratitude, it just shows that the giver never bothered to know me or, that the giver is so focused on his/her own self. That really upsets me because I feel like I am so unworthy , even non-existent, and the giver only wants to show how good or generous they are. I am an old woman and quite integrated, but that is still an issue with me. That is why I love the gifts and cards of children, they give out of their authentic self.

I would agree with the whole 4s being the same at work (part of that inability to not be authentic). Although, 4w3s are a bit better at presenting a more polished side of themselves, especially if they're in leadership roles. Some wind up as serial entrepreneurs because of that whole hot/cold thing when it comes to their passions.

Yes, absolutely. I have been a serial job-hopper because, even though I may do well at a job, it ends up not feeling like I'm not fulfilling who I really am. I have been in leadership roles and put on the polished "hat" to be who I thought they needed me to be only to abandon the whole thing a year later. I also am an artist (of course 😏) and definitely love when someone loves something I created. It's like they love a piece of my soul.

As I’ve healed and become a healthy 4, I appreciate all the gifts and acts of service. But when I’m unhealthy sometimes all the love languages never measure up for me. I’m expecting others to rescue me from my internal Hell. It all feels “not enough”. I appreciate the 4’s personal love language of intuition in those moments when I’m unhealthy. Being understood and seen is the biggest thing to help pull me through.

What's your take on that? For this particular case: could we, as Fours, somehow evolve towards Two?

As far as acts of service not being a love language for us because we feel less than like we are being helped because we are incapable. This is wrong. We love acts of service and appreciate them, however we don’t need them because we will do them ourselves. And doing them for us is really nice, but it’s not how we feel loved. We need to be seen to feel loved.

I know this is a somewhat playful comment - which is all good - but I think 4s get hit with that joke a lot. In all earnestness, I would certainly say dating an immature 4 would be a rougher journey than other types... but healthy 4s (may be fewer of them walking around in their 20s), are an incredible muse, lover, and emotional support system. So definitely not the worst ;)

This was my fear at first too!! But as I’ve gotten healthier, I just realize I’m more for people who have “expensive taste” (i.e., definitely NOT for everyone… 😅 but said in a kind way lol). My 20s were a nightmare for my ex to be with me. But he stood by me (he’s a 1w9). Once we grow and are able to recognize that we are NOT our emotions, our emotions are just waves that come and go, then we can show up in incredible ways for those we love. But it will be a forever battle for us (IMO).

honestly could not really relate to most of this. I think its probably due to being an sp4, we tend to have more stable emotions (at least outwardly) so theres not any of those intense big shifts as often as you would see with the other two. That doesnt mean that those fluctuations in mood and self image doesnt happen, we just tend to keep it in more often and are much less likely to draw attention to them. The comparisons though, thats the one i do struggle with a ton
@YouveGotaType11 ай бұрын
Whenever people say "I don't relate to most of this" it's usually because they've mistyped themselves. This is an aggregate of so many experienced enneagram teachers/theories and having a strong instinct doesn't mean you buck the whole intrinsic condition of 4ness. I'd suggest looking at the 6 or 5w4.

Hmmm depending on where on the spectrum of autism a person is, I think it can put a person on a totally different path than the enneagram can really assist with.
