I was just just bringing possibly manifestations as you put it and wasn't directing my post at you specifically. I didn't necessarily suspect you would relate to my points....|||This is a valuable post. I have some thoughts to add in general.   If associating yourself with a type is causing you more harm/frustration than good, then one is probably better off distancing...|||6w5|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeS4pNeiyMU|||Every type comes with its issues, so I've never felt a particular desire to be one type over another. If I did, it would be for superficial reasons. For example, if I am to think of a ''favorite''...|||I've had trouble falling asleep since as far as I can remember because my mind just doesn't stop. Unless I'm very tired, it takes on average about 2 hours in bed for me to fall asleep. I experience...|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7BRpmbfPk0|||Never touched drugs of any kind. I also don't drink alcohol. I also have never drank a cup of coffee in my life. Even if I'm very tired, I still rather just deal with it.  I even avoid medication...|||Yea. Instincts are more about focus. A Sp dom could feel they are bad at taking care of themselves and a Sx dom could feel they are lacking in the charm department.|||See, you're already thinking in terms of challenges. You're on the right path to becoming an ESTP. Channel that Se mindset.|||That seems like the type of fun hobby a Ne-dom would have, lol.  Also, if we go with theory, you supposedly can actually channel some inner ESTJ-ness in a sense, because you share their functions....|||The thanking thing was a joke if it wasn't clear, but I do admit I can never have too many thanks.  Are you undecided on your type by the way?  From the bit I saw from you on the forums, Te dom...|||You're welcome. I like sharing facts.  That being said, I notice that you didn't actually digitally thank my post. Could you remedy this situation if you don't mind? Every thank notification I get...|||I did a quick search and apparently dolphins contain a very high level of mercury. Anyone that eats dolphin is risking their lives and might die from it. This information might assuage your...|||Excess.|||So|||One can have submissive behaviors or attitudes without actually consciously feeling inferior or helpless.   The 2 will usually not consider these things as a sign of weakness. If anything, they...|||I type as 5, because it seems the best fit, but I wish I could type as 9 because they are the most compatible with my introjections. But that would be ironically intellectually slothful of me.  The...|||Nor being an ''intellectual'' (as a social image) or being very smart/analytical.   I would even venture to say that you don't necessarily even have to be an ''intellectual'' to be a 5 (especially...|||I pace around at times when I'm thinking ''hard''. I can do it pretty frantically too sometimes, to the point of almost running.   Other than that, nothing too particular other than just tuning out...|||For real life, it’s hard to say cause it depends on way too many factors. Not to mention enneagram doesn’t cover everything (not even close) when it comes to liking or disliking people. I don't...|||I'm eagerly awaiting when you're waiting for your supper.|||1) Quality time is crucial to sustain the relationship in the long run.   2) Physical touch is pretty important but can be used more or less depending how comfortable they are with it.   3) Words...|||Change my username to Verglas.

I over-emphasized certain aspects of me that only really exist when I'm in a relationship. I still see it as my probable heart fix however.|||Oh right, I forgot to explicitly state:  If anyone has any impressions on my type (core, mbti, instincts, tritype, anything), feel free to share. I am very open to commentary.|||Well, I've read some of your posts around before and they can be interesting. That's about it.|||I was joking in case it wasn't clear. I like you; I won't be blocking you.  I guess I can come off overly serious myself if I don't watch out.|||Alright, I'll ignore you then. Enjoy your new spot in my PerC block list.|||I thanked your post and sent you a friend request on PerC. Hopefully that will alleviate your attention concerns for a brief while.|||@Swordsman of Mana    I rather have a non-answer then make something up.  But like I said previously, I do concede that there is leeway here. Practically speaking and including other factors, it...|||@Swordsman of Mana    From an enneagram standpoint, without going into an argument about defining what is meant by an ‘’easier’’ childhood, what I meant is every type logic faces its own internal...|||You are correct. I didn't mean to say otherwise.|||I don't even see it as a chore, it's just something I never felt compelled to do. Restocking lightbulbs actually sounds useful on the other hand.|||what  To be fair, it has always been hard to tell how high he is sometimes when I read his work.|||The J/P dichotomy in MBTI is misleading because INTJ's are primarily dominant Percievers (Introverted Intuition is a Perception function).

It's more about how uncomfortably punny it is,...|||@Swordsman of Mana  Let me get this straight. You favor a 5 typing because:  1) You have a little bit more blue and a little bit less red in a 5 core belief description than another type's...|||Yea, I was simply going off on a related thought.   This reply also makes me want to refine two more aspects underlying your point. For one, the type 5 will ''withdraw'' from the world whether they...|||This is hard to gauge, but arousal isn't particularly rare. It simply tends to be ignored/discarded quickly, except sporadically (maybe once or twice a month) where I may ruminate on my thoughts a...|||Pretty much. Furthermore, even if it were to be type related, any type might have been bullied (or not) in their childhood and have adapted to it using their respective defense mechanisms for...|||Swordsman of Mana  I am curious to know what your explicit argument for being a type 5 is.|||Ti is about impersonal internal consistency.
