Is there someone out there who do not identify with the 5 stereotype? But still think they are a 5?
I am a little confused, because I do believe I am a 5w4, and I know that the 5w4 is not always as the 5 is described. But it still gets me feeling that I am not a 5, when I read about the 5. I know that other people would probably guess that I am a 9, because my head is always elsewhere, and I have no direction or energy to do stuff in life. I feel like I look like a 9 stereotype.
But then again, I know that I don’t sweep things under the rug, I think about them until my head explodes, and then I think about them more. And I am not that afraid of conflict, and I do get angry without feeling bad about it. I dont have the core issues of the 9.
I often experience nihilism, and feel empty, but i have read that both 9 and 5 can feel this. And I can choose to keep my bad feelings away most of the time, but sometimes I do choose to feel them all, so that I can maybe let them go, instead of always trying to understand them. I am not afraid of them, but I don’t want them to control me (even though sometimes they do).
But both 9 and 5 are withdrawn types, and they often choose not to feel(?), so that’s why its so hard for me to figure this out.
If I feel like I am a 9, but most of my thoughts work like a 5, what should I believe that I am?
Is there someone else who feel like they are a 5, but do not fit in to the type that is always described?
In a way, I feel like I am a 5 or 4 when I am sad, but when I am happy and balanced, I feel like I am a 9.
