    I think I would cry if someone celebrated me for asserting myself haha. One time, my mom asked my brother and me what we wanted to eat, and my brother mentioned where he wanted to go. Without second thought I said, "yea, let's do that." My brother then stopped himself and said, "wait, Kaira, you always do what we want to do. Where do YOU want to go?"
    That small observation he made of me and then consideration and opening a space for me to say what I wanted honestly made me a bit emotional and feel so loved.
    I told that story to a friend and she said, "Kaira do you know about the enneagram? You sound like a 9 haha."

    I will be completely honest, when you talked about the lazyness of the 9 I really teared up. I feel so understood. Unfortunately I am in a toxic environment where I get harsh criticism for not being able to be productive consistently and work hard. Everytime I try to say that I am tired and have no energy it gets brushed off because from the outside there is nothing to be worked up about - how can you explain to others that life itself is draining? The fact that my 1 wing screams at me for not being able to finish my tasks doesn't make it better either. Thank you for adressing this issue, I think it is very important for us to hear that our perspective matters.

      I'm a 9w1, too, and that inner struggle between our dominant tendency to procrastinate and our inner voice telling us to get it together and shape up is very real. It's easy to get inspired and start something but then lose steam before we finish and get frustrated with ourselves. I'm with someone who is a 5, and we are compatible because we are often in our own little worlds, but we know we have the other when we need them. He usually doesn't judge and criticize what others could perceive as laziness. I am glad he's not a 1 because I feel we would argue a lot over differences in motivation.

      Oof, I feel this. My 1 wing is not kind to me. Which pushes my 9 further into sloth...
      I also appreciated the commentary about "lazy." I'd never considered part of it being about taking in other people's needs and feelings. I think there's truth to that; I may seem closed off to the world, I know I often do, but I'm really not.

      Mmm understood this so much once I read The Road Back to You, but there weren't too many things that they said to help. But ugh, definitely have a 1 wing...I did realize however that these crazy awesome spontaneous friends that are inviting us everywhere has had a really positive effect on the low energy-ness of living my life and I have been agreeing to do crazy things that I didn't think I would ever do(like jumping a homemade snow ramp on a snowmobile by myself :O and just crazy things like that in general), but it has been so fun!
      Maria, I hope that you can get out of that environment, because that is so hard, and that you can learn that you are an amazing person and should not doubt your worth or importance, and you were created to make a difference in this world. Hopefully you can start to wake up to your true self and have a lot of amazing, comfort zone ridding (sounds so gross and scary XP) experiences to ignite a passion inside of you for life and begin to make you hope again! I am so glad you shared on here, though, definitely helps to know I was not the only one feeling this way. But glad to know now that it can get better :)

    I remember when I was 8, I met this girl on a camping trip.
    She would always come to MY campsite and want to hangout.
    I crashed my bike and hurt my leg and couldn't ride my bike anymore. She stayed by my side even though all I was doing was sitting in a chair. I couldn't understand why and told her she could go do something else, I was ok. But she just stayed.
    I remember the day we were leaving. She stood through our family's entire devotion that morning, just to ask ME if we could take a picture together. So she could remember ME forever.
    Y'all I almost cried.
    She was practically a stranger. But she meant so much to me. I have never forgot that girl.

    After watching this video, I feel so understood. I grew up in a house with a controlling mom who wasn’t always stable and all my family members kind of let her have her way because we didn’t want to be yelled at and guilt tripped. As an adult, I’ve realized I’ve often suppressed my needs and emotions to make other people happy. It is extremely hard for me to confront someone about something, especially if that person has shown to be angry or unfair to me when I bring things up. I have realized that suppressing my emotions and expectations has put a lot of stress on myself and how can I expect others to know I’m upset if I don’t say anything. A friend of mine recently told me that if a person has generally always gotten their way and you confront them, they probably will come at you at a higher level because they are not used to you asserting yourself but setting a boundary is important and it will get easier in time. It is still hard for me to confront my mom about things but I do need to make my needs known in a kind way and if she chooses to escalate the situation, I can choose to stay calm and state why my need is important for her to here.

    This is spot-on except I feel like you missed a little something on #7. It's nice when my 8 husband says, "I want to spend time with you. What would you like to do?" but I really prefer it when he comes up with some suggestions, especially if I'm feeling down and low-energy. Otherwise, I hear, "Go research some things that we can do, that we can afford and that will fit into both our schedules and that we will both like, and make sure there is a plan because I'm an 8 and I like a plan...and then make a decision about it." PRESSURE! It is such a relief those times when he says, "I want to spend time with you - If you don't have any ideas, maybe we could go try this restaurant or go see this movie?" (Thanks to your videos, I think my family finally understands why I'm indecisive so often. Now, when they ask what I want to do for dinner and I hesitate, my son will yell, "HOW CAN YOU PUT THIS ON ME RIGHT NOW?!" and we laugh. It's HARD to go through life trying to make everyone around you happy! They all like different things!)

Because if the question is "what do you want to do" i instantly get overwhelmed with the million factors involved and see every single pro and con of every choice... Yeah it's too much. So presented with 2or3 options is sooo much less stressful and i feel more comfortable making the decision...

Some people bring out the decision maker in me because I know they are a safe place and sometimes I'm so goofy and outgoing with certain friends, and then I'm calm and chill with my goofy friends. I really love conversations and I love people and making people happy, but I am super like, uh, if you wanna do the dishes for the next two weeks, I will absolutely not object. I may feel bad, but super glad I don't have to...just a little lazy sometimes :O Also I don't like being up in front of people, but really like talking to kids, trying to get them to like me, lol and trying to be like them. They are a joy and just remind me of what it's like to be care free and loving. I also am a one on one person...sometimes even telling more than one persona joke at the dinner table makes me nervous :,D trying to get over that.

      @@sierravanderslice2637 Yes, I think typing 9s can sometimes be challenging depending on the day, situation and our moods. We can really tap into all of the numbers if needed though we're not always comfortable doing so. I knew 9 was me though with the whole avoiding confrontation description. I "bite my tongue" so much and then kick myself for not pointing out a wrong or standing up for myself. As shy as I can be I do love new things and adventure, even if it's by myself sometimes. The 2 in me does come out strong when thinking of gifts for friends and family and wanting everyone to he happy and know they are remembered. It is great when you can make kids happy and smile. Growing up I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I took a different path, but that dream is always in the back of my head, and I may just realize it someday if I finally get myself in gear and go back to school for it. 9-2-7 is a pretty awesome tritype I think! 😉👌

I need to step up more and actually be the peacemaker I am supposed to be and not look away from the bad behavior that can result in more conflict.

    I am a nine and a one. I would say the most important thing for me is to not force me to do anything that involves conflict. Especially if I’m really stressed out about some thing and I could fix it by having a conversation with another person. That often will just create more stress and anxiety and make the problem worse but if you just let me think about my problem and we never engage in the actual conflict to fix the problem

    So, I am a 5 and my husband is a 9. I am on my wits end to deal with passive aggressive conflict avoidance behavior. I am therefore going to give him the dose of his own medicine and stone wall him till he questions his existence. My first urge is of course to find a cabin in the deep woods and not come out for six months. Since that cannot be done - I have prepared myself for a Stale Mate. Anything else is too draining.

    I’m a 2 and my boyfriend is a 9. We’re together for 2 years now and I just learned about enneagram. I haven’t asked him to take the test but I instantly knew he is a 9.
    Throughout our relationship I noticed that what I would usually argue with is the whenever he wouldn’t say anything or be passive-aggressive and never tell me what he wants but get SUPER CRANKY. And as a 2 I would be overthinking too much and think about all possible scenarios and what to do to make him feel better. We drive each other crazy. Like yes I would go the extra mile to learn and know about you but when a 9 doesn’t say anything how would I know ?

    How do you encourage them to assert themselves without making them feel pushed?
    How do you make them feel safe sharing when they’re stressed, and they’re used to an abusive dynamic with others, so they are expecting pressure and judgment even if that’s not what you’re ever going to bring, and they tend to automatically go on the defensive?

    • @AbbeyHowe
      @AbbeyHowe  Před 3 lety +6

      honestly, I feel like it comes down to communication with your 9. talk to them and ask them how they would like to be encouraged, what makes them feel safe, etc.

    • @su.7452

      I’m a 9 and I dunno if this is true of other 9s but I sometimes feel like others don’t really care to listen to what I have to say so I don’t really put energy into asserting myself cuz I feel like it wouldn’t really matter. I think that providing a safe and loving environment to actually listen to a 9 would help. Not listen to give an opinion or advice (unless asked for) but to actually listen and try to understand where your 9 is coming from. I think it would be thoughtful to offer a helping hand in any way to show support for a 9 as it can help them to trust you.
      So yea hope that helps 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @breezybearwaters
      @breezybearwaters Před 3 lety +2

      S U. i agree^! listen to them and support them even in smaller situations to let them know that you care about their opinion. also be aware of how you talk about other people. if you are judgemental or critical of others your partner may internalize that. if you are open minded and accepting of other people your partner will notice and feel more comfortable sharing with you. (at least this is what would help me as a 9, but everyone is different!)

      Unfortunately, figuring out your enneagram type is so so personal. I don’t recommend trying to type someone else. Your partner has to want to find their type. But, you can try some of the tips in this “How to Love” series and see what your partner likes!

    How to you motivate a nine who has no willingness to expand their comfort zone at all?
    I mean, when they face any kind of pressure they try to escape and seek comfort from me. I'm more than willing to be the listener and encourager and I've trying my best to do that. But after a long time I realize I am increasing their dependency on comfort, because now I have provided a safe spot they can escape to for comfort and now they become more resist to self-improve or self discovery.
    Honestly, I'm all fine with a nine doesn't want to change if their current life is what they like and truly enjoy, but sadly this isn't the case at all. They don't know what they want but super resistant to anything they don't want. It becomes incredibly hard for me to encourage them to connect with their own desire when their only desire is to resist any outside force. But when a 9's comfort zone is too small it's just impossible for them to not get super anxious and stressed because any form of outside factor can make them feel pressured... And I honestly never expect a 9 to move out of their comfort zone, I'm trying to help them increase the radius of the comfort zone so they can feel more free and actually have room to discover their own desires.
    But now I feel so lost and powerless. It's hard to keep encouraging after some time while seeing no willingness to self-growth from them. I even kind of feel guilty to have spoiled them. Maybe I'm just burnt out. Can I get some advices on how to motivate a nine? Thanks many!

    • @amelian9677
      @amelian9677 Před měsícem

      I don’t think you can if they don’t want it. I have had similar experiences with a few unhealthy 9’s. 9 is actually one of my favorite types, so that is not intended to bash or overgeneralize. But if the dynamic with a specific individual turns into what you’re describing, I back away because even if the person has positive qualities like kindness, intelligence, or some kind of shared value system, that kind of dynamic simply does not work for me or make me happy. It also does not make me feel respected or valued.

      Hi, I'm 9w1sx/so married to 5w6 so/sp. We have been married now about 3years. We had very very hard time at the beginning of our marriage, we fought a lot about me feeling he didnt show me enough affection and he feeling I didnt give him enough time alone. Now we have found more balance between us. Enneagram has teached me that I need time alone, too, and he has become more familiar with feelings and emotional closeness. My husband is trustworthy, stable and practical while Im the dreamer of the house🤔
      I wish you all good things. ❤

My husband will not ever feel his emotions, except anger.🙈 He's also a covert narcissist so it's much harder on my part. Divorce is a swirling idea in my head.😓 P.S.- I give my husband all the time alone he wants, which is always. 🤦‍♀️ I'm married but lonelier than ever. I stopped trying to het him to spend time with me or give me more affection, it always became an argument with him. If he doesn't want to be affectionate, there are plenty of men who enjoy giving and receiving affection! My hudband is a black hole, he wants me to give him affection and I got a pat on the back.😑
