It is more how I live.... searching for peace is my true goal..... nothing is more important, yet more absent....
9 is often associated with peace but I don't think their online profiles get it right. 9s fear separation because it disrupts their inner sense of peace, but what they fear separation from isn't necessarily friends or loved ones - it's from whatever they've merged with that provides them a sense of identity. This is part of why 9 is an attachment type.
Attachment represents the desire of the ego to maintain a comfortable and stable relationship with people or things that are identified with. Simply put, we want to hold onto whatever works well for us, be it a person, a job, a self-image, a feeling state, or a comfortable chair.
The Attachment-based Group includes types Three, Six, and Nine. These types have problems with deeply held attachments to people, situations, or states that are “working†for them. Nines may see their relationship with an idealized other or a comforting routine or a favorite food or a television show as a source of their stability and inner peace. Whatever the source, Nines do not want their “comfort zone†to be tampered with or changed.
When sites describe 9 as a gut type that suppresses their rage, the rage comes from the suppression of one's true self because they let people, things, concepts, etc influence their persona as they merge with it. So I'd say the fact that you are harmony-seeking isn't the completely decisive way to proclaim yourself as a 9, but it's whether your identity is fortified by your relationship to certain things or ideas.
Moreover my condition of a year ago fits level 8 of enneagram 9 health levels.... I don't relate to 8, 2, or 3 health levels....
I almost forgot health levels existed omg. But my take on those is that everyone tends to overestimate just how healthy they are.
To me you seem like someone who's concerned with attractiveness, how impressive you are to others, your lovability, etc. That's why my impression of you made me wonder if you're on the 2/3 spectrum.
