Oh, we have identity crises, but hardly ever about which enneagram we are.
No. I will not make it. It would take a real miracle to make it.
that's a good point. there can be a definite dark side to 9, at least from what i've experienced. i kind of associate it with Fi in some weird way.![]()

What is this dark side?
i dunno...i think of senza tema. she has an edge. there were others i had in mind when i made that post, but i'm kinda blanking right now.

Yeah I was actually thinking of Senza as well. Senza and Nij.i dunno...i think of senza tema. she has an edge. there were others i had in mind when i made that post, but i'm kinda blanking right now.
Well, at least you have yourself typed properly now. Down-to-earth, neutral...no extremes. Not really self-focused...no drama. Definitely a 9.
I see your point. I am a ball of pure anxiety and push and pull and worry and head in clouds and obliviousness. I am going to fight an old man over week-old ham in a dark alleyway due to a complete inability to focus on the task at hand and a tendency to be only halfway there. I need to work to survive, to hell with high ideals and how I feel about things. I make my boss really mad over my spaciness especially, and I don't want him mad at me firstly because I want to keep the job and partly because he is a nice, pleasant, laid back guy with everybody else and to say I make him want to scream must mean I an a really bad person and that I will never make it in anything I do and look at the wild mood-swings I have and how devastating their effects are in my life. I try hard and still usually fail.
Yes, the main reason I fear using resources is the idea I wont be able to enjoy them later. I just want to be left alone so there aren't any surprises where I am suddenly obligated, at least from a moral standpoint, to use resources. Using resources gives me anxiety like you wouldn't imagine, sucker!
As far as my original comment, I didn't say anything about alleged 4s fitting the criteria. I said they don't fit ANY criteria.
