Sorry, I didn't mean to say my experience was type related; I was providing examples and/or reasons for
why I might be misinterpreted by those who cannot see me (online), or those who don't know me. My example about insecure attachment was related to that as well.
Also the "not being understood" that I talk about here, I don't think it's necessarily the "
4-ish never wanting to be understood." Maybe there is a sliver of that in there, but that is not what I was referring to, for the most part. Insecure attachment has been linked to being unable to properly
mentalize, which also includes issues with affect verbalization, and in general feeling like either you are trapped inside your own head and no one can connect with you, or just not easily being understood
since you lack a "common language." A lot of this is kinda 5-ish, from what I have read of the type. I am
not saying that the fact that I am insecurely attached is 5-ish, but I was referring to stuff like this:
- I don't relate to everything in there, but I have bolded what I do. I am not re-considering my core type either, since I have been involved with the enneagram for about 3 years now and it seems pretty fixed. I was just commenting on how I may be "mistyped" by others; which doesn't tend to happen in real life anyway. Everyone can probably very easily see me as 4 and sx.
