Tuesday Talk: Enneagram

Hello and happy Tuesday!

I’m always interested in all the Enneagram stuff, and follow @mirabellecreations who always posts fun graphics on Instagram.

‘Tis the Halloween season and all things scary. I stumbled upon “What Scares” for different Enneagram types, and I’m taking a deep dive into my 5w6 self for…

What Scares Type 5s:

Being helpless or incapable: This for sure applies to me as I prefer not to ask for help and like to be prepared.
Someone who asks too many questions: I hate nothing more than being peppered with questions. A conversation is one thing, but when I feel like I’m constantly answering questions, and I feel like the person has an ‘angle,” I definitely disengage.
Being overwhelmed by their own needs and needs of others: In this busy season of life, I do feel overwhelmed by my own needs more than my family’s needs. Sometimes I just have “decision fatigue” and will feel overwhelmed.
A huge party: I much prefer a small gathering with people I know. Small talk at a huge gathering is definitely not my favorite thing.
Being pressured or obligated: I definitely don’t want to feel pressured or obligated to do anything. Well, who does?
Not having the right answer in every situation: It must be the teacher in me, but I like being prepared.
Their private info being shared publicly: Well, this is ironic considering I have a blog, but of course I choose what I share and when.

What Scares Type 6s:

Everything going wrong: I like to have a plan, and I like for that plan to go accordingly. haha
Danger ahead signs: What’s around the corner? What’s the danger? Of course I want to know and be prepared.
People who are not dependable: Oh…that’s a big pet peeve of mine.
An unpredictable or unsafe environment: I definitely like to know what’s going on…and don’t like surprises.
Being accused of just being a “scaredy-cat”: I think I do a good job of keeping my worries on the inside. haha
Being called negative or pessimistic: I’m a realist!
Not having an escape route: I definitely like to know where the exits are!
