[Type 9] Recently Founded 9.

[Forever]

Hi everyone, so I clicked with nine more than any other enneagram, mistaking myself as a 4. I have a hard time feeling anything and can get really bad passive aggression. I tend to bundle things all inside me, and I hate getting angry. I avoid conflicts as much as I can, and suck to standing up to myself. I feel invisible and I always feel I have to try really hard for people to acknowledge me. Interpersonal relationships define me, no doubt. Also, quite a few INFJ's are 9's too. I will post more later, all I originally wanted to say, was said.

I heard 9s smell funny, is this true?

 

[lemurgavel]

As a 9, I can absolutely confirm that we all smell funny.

 

[mcgooglian]

They sorta smell like burnt burritos

The question is:

Is that a good thing?

 

[mcgooglian]

It depends on whether or not you like burnt burritos

Sometimes they smell like marshmallows and coffee but, this isn't a bad combo.

Unless we don't like coffee. Then we can't drink nasty peoples drinks.

Yeah, I thought I was a four for awhile too, but after knowing some real fours I'm sure I'm not. Six is also one I sometimes relate too. Nine fits the best though, I hold a lot of my feelings in, not knowing who I am or what I like much of the time. I also have repressed anger which cause me great shame when it manifests.

My 9 usually smells like coffee, coffee with hazelnut in the summer and coffee with honey in the winter.

I feel invisible and I always feel I have to try really hard for people to acknowledge me.

I figure part of the reason 9s can feel invisible is, since they do not tend to create much of a stir, people do not tend to devote as much attention to them. Like it's a bidirectional mechanism. Many more volatile, more grounded, or more extraverted types tend to force others to react to them. 9s tend to just do their own thing and stay out of the way. I typically very much like this about them, though sometimes I find it hard to judge whether the 9 wants more of me in their life or not.

You know, I identify with feeling invisible quite a bit, sometimes to the point that it's absurd, and 9's don't smell like coffee, the coffee smells like 9s

 

[mcgooglian]

I don't like the taste of coffee. Does that mean 9s taste bad too?

Actually it's much more dire than that, it means your taste buds are defective. Should have that checked out

Oh, I've already destroyed all my taste buds with all the spicy food I've eaten.

....and I my stomach. I swear I'm too young to be taking pepcid

I have an iron stomach apparently. I can handle a lot of spicy.

4 is NOT a common type.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Actually, I think 75% of humanity is composed of 4s.

Ohh thanks skylights. I like that.

So my parents' house when I was younger always smelled like 9s in the morning.

Ohh thanks skylights. I like that.

You're welcome
