I'm a 2w3 8w9 7w8Tritype 278/782/872... so what's that really like? Know any famous examples of that particular tritype? Anyone here of that tritype?
Hi! I’m 278 or 287 and relate/identify with most of this!I am a 278 (or 287?? My head and gut are pretty even stevens).
I don't know many others of this tritype, let alone celebrities.
The word I would use to describe it is conflicted. I am always in a constant state of deciphering my owm actions as they occur.
Maybe it ia because of my sx/so instinct, but I can be very clingy and self-sacricial towards people I really care about. Yet, I can't see it in me to actually admit I care about many people? I know I have feelings, but most of the time, I don't feel them. When I do get emotional, I am very action-oriented. "What can I do? How do I do it? Done." tends to be the theme of my thoughts. If a person that isn't my target of my affection show me the type of dedication and praise I give others, it actually sorta annoys me and I withdraw very easily. Scenarios like that are just... boring. I like chasing down others and tying them up, but to get tied down is a buzzkill just to think about.
I don't like showing weaknesses or being considered incompetent. As akward and semi-cringy as it sounds, I really value the concept of image. To use an analogy, I care about what I broadcast, not about the ratings said broadcast gets.
If you scroll through anything I put on the site, you've probably seen me say "I love people" a thousand and four times. I can't emphasize enough how much I adore the concept of other humans. I love talking to them, listening to them, arguing with them, laughing with them... I know, with all my heart, that people are my calling. Even though I am alone when I weave through cliques and crowds, it's all worth it because I get to meet all sorts of folks along the way.
Loneliness is a consistent thing I experience. Yet, as much as I love to pretend that it's untrue, it's very self inflicted. I avoid and push away those I am familiar with, which often tests my ties with them which further pushes me into the territory of 'alone'. I am always yearning for an extreme reset, because imagine the possibilities. A new place, a new crowd, a new development just out there. Waiting.
Overall, I'm still learning. Sorry if that was too long, but the 278 tritype doesn't have much info circling around online (for free) it seems. In fact, most stuff on "The Humanitarian" is copypasted from one other, which totally sucks because as someone who is only recently gotten a strong grasp on the concept of enneagram and all it encompasses, it would've been nice to have a better guide than the tidbits we are given.
