Hi everyone, I've started checking out enneagram and I'm pretty sure I fit the enneagram 6 best. I was wondering if you could relate to my following experiences..
Often times in social situations I am very acute to the balance of power, who wants power, who has power, the underdog etc. I was wondering if you guys sense the same things?
Also I find myself almost trying to be the mediator. I hate the idea of being controlled but the last thing I want is for someone to feel that I'm being overly domineering or taking the spotlight.
I feel the same way towards others, it's like I try to find a balance and I will compete with those who think they're more powerful and be more chilled and receptive to those who are more submissive and therefore more sensitive to undesirable social cues.
So I find myself aware of how I perceive other people's states and I try to get the more submissive people involved. I'd start a conversation with them even if I felt it wouldn't be interesting because I'd prefer that to seeing them kinda left out. I keep an open mind though, the most introverted people can be the most intriguing. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not that party-animal kinda guy who loves the spotlight 24/7.
Can anyone relate? 6w7, 6w5? Enneagram 6? LOL.
