the individualist

Ah, the enneagram. For quite some time now I've been meaning to blog about it, but I just never got around to it. Well, now I am. So, I went to this site: http://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram and did a little research. A while ago, a friend and I figured out my dominate type and my wing type too. So, just to double check, I went and did a little more research. Turns out I'm definitely four with a five wing(she was right.) "Fours can manage to feel superior to others while also secretly harboring some degree of longing and envy."
I can not begin to tell you how true this is.
Okay, let's list all the things that I am, and fours are...to prove that I'm a four:
*Fours are emotionally complex and highly sensitive-SO true.
*Easily feel misunderstood and under appreciated-under appreciated, definitely
*They have a tendency to withdraw in the face of a world that seems harsh or crude, and are often somewhat moody or temperamental.-Definitely.
*They are emotionally centered and spend much of their lives immersed in their internal mental landscapes, where they feel free to cultivate and analyse their feelings.-Sure, I guess.
*Fours are somewhat melancholic by disposition, and under stress tend to lapse into depression.-I don't think I'm clinically depressed, but sure, I get that sometimes.
*
Tend to be self-absorbed- Yeaaah, sometimes.
*Easily give way to a self-indulgence which they perceive as being fully justified as a way to compensate for the general lack of pleasure they experience in their lives.-Yes. Definitely.
*Rather than look for practical solutions to their difficulties, Fours are prone to fantasizing about a savior who will rescue them from their unhappiness.-Nah. Not really. I just day dream a lot.

And basically, I have a 5 wing. Which basically means I'm not going into what that one means because I'm tired and want to sleep.

goodnight.
