    As a type 6, I can attest to the paranoia in times where I’ve experienced a lot of stress and loss/change. In those times I almost convince myself that I’m crazy and that’s why all of these things are happening… It’s hard automatically thinking the worse and it requires so much work to get out of that mindset. To all other 6s, it doesn’t have to be this way. You are strong and capable of piecing yourself back together - don’t let your thoughts have so much power ❤️

    I am the prototype of an Enneagram 6! I feel like you're speaking to me directly in all of your Enneagram 6 videos. I watch all of them lol I love learning more and more about myself so I can work on my lower areas; however, I own all of my strengths and flaws. It really does bring soo much validation and clarity as to who I am in every aspect of life. My fiancée is a 9 and he is HEAVEN-SENT! Just a calm, patient, loving soul. He brings me so much peace.. This is why we're so compatible. I live by the Enneagram. I tell so many people about it. As long as you're true to your answers and don't overthink the questions/statements on the assessment, it should spell out your personality. Thank you for all that you do!!

    After watching a BUNCH of these videos, I figured out a couple of the types of myself (9w8 I think), my hubby (7w8 I think), and my mom (4?2?6? (who I have tense conversations with ALL the time). AND figured out by watching the videos how these types think and how to communicate with them - I had an almost completely positive, uplifting conversation with her. AND, even better, I felt good *after* the conversation.
    So thank you so much for explaining it simply enough yet thoroughly enough for me to understand it and apply it. You’re awesome!

    'Out to get you'...I'm a 6 raised in a cult where my parents applied all the 'counsel' to us kids, and did whatever the heck they wanted. It was imperative that we made them look good. Long story short, it is a doctrine that God will have you killed at Armageddon if you do not tow the line OR if you question any of the cult leader's opinions [aka doctrines - which many have needlessly died for because they were changed with the advent of 'new light']. You're told that loyalty to God means giving up friends and relatives that do not believe the same way you do - the cult is your new family now. And if you botch that loyalty, you can rightly expect to be 'marked' because you're a danger to their loyalty - or disfellowshiped [they might call it something else now] where you are shunned and considered as already dead. I don't think I made that up in my mind, when it took 10 years to dismantle that nasty little false belief - while wondering how to reconstruct my social contacts and relationships from people who were WAY more lax in their choice of 'activities'. [Just a better gauge of 'out to get you' than 'wolves in the forest' or 'a man with an axe'. Sometimes it's 'wolves in sheep's clothing'...and they are out to get you.] However, the '4 steps away from being homeless' is spot on. I'm working on collecting a more supportive set of evidence.

    As a 6 I’ve noticed since I was a child that there are situations in friendships that the way ahead with this person is a no go. It’s as a door inside myself shuts and it’s over. I say gooodbye knowing this is it and I’m sure it befuddles the other person because nothing out of the ordinary occurred. I wish over the years I would have ignored that door shutting, observed it and then made an occasion to see that person again.

I lived, and God met me there and I found Him trustworthy and my fortress when nothing else was. If you are there as a six - I just wanted you to know there is light and a fortress in that dark wolf-filled forest. Doesn't mean that at times it isn't hard to find, but if you look for it, you WILL find it!

    Could you please reference the book you are using as reference? Also, as a six who was formerly suicidal, your examples of the lowest level of health is not even close to the lowest. Low, yes. In the one word descriptions. However at the lowest level, suicide seemed a reasonable cognitive solution so the those I love would be free to start over and I would have been free to stop feeling afraid. Weird. So glad for an intervention and treatment that helped save my life. Good teaching. Just easy to know you are not a six, lol. Perhaps in the future an interview series with a person of each type?

    You illustrate this very well. It was hard to listen to. I tend to think the unhealthy 6 stuff but repress it because I'm clearly just being silly. If I said it out loud, I'd be embarrassed. Once, I felt worried because a friend was a few minutes late. "Are they okay?" "Are they abandoning me?" Which level of health does that align with? I feel silly commenting this.

    Hi there, can so resonate with this video. Yeah, that coward. That was me in my 20's I hate to say. And it's funny how, even if you are counter phobic, you can still be a coward. You just push it away. The other thing I was thinking is how much... I know this may seem strange... but to me there are a few similarities between low-functioning 6's and low functioning 4's... similar behaviour but coming from a different place. That's just my observation of what I was like in lower health and what my 4 friend was like when she was in lower health. I'd say I'm probably about average now. Although I think it is important to talk about the highest levels of health as well... it gives you something to aim for and to aspire to.

      Hi there, can I have a question? I'd like to ask, what are you mean similar qualities between low 6 and 4? What kind of traits? I am interested about how can 4 looks similar to 6. Other: I have a guess, that more lower you are and more higher you are in health you can be more and more similar both end between types. I think a totally healthy man will looks quite similar to an another healthy one, because loose him or her egofixations. In low health you also stop using your usual ways of coping wich is normally the difference between types.

    • @milanka882
      @milanka882 3 роки тому +2

      @@jazon85k Hi there, I think what I was getting at most is that, when 6 and 4 are unhealthy, we both tend to look for a "rescuer". It's the same behaviour, but it's coming from different places.
      For the 4, it's coming from a place of envy, not feeling like they're good enough, constantly comparing yourself to others and believing you fall short, spiraling into depression and looking for a "saviour" to miraculously "rescue" you from that.
      For the 6, when we are unhealthy we are more accurately looking for a "protector" rather than a "rescuer", as we spiral down into more and more anxiety, we are looking for somebody to "protect" us from what we fear and from the big wide world.
      In other words, like the 4, the 6 at low levels of health is also looking for a "saviour", but to "save" us from the scary world and our fears... real or imagined... rather than to pull us out of depression. On the surface, it looks the same, but it's coming from a very different place. How do I know? Because I'm a 6 and my besty is a 4, and we've both been in those low levels of health years ago. With hindsight being 20/20, I can look back and see just how alike we were in that low level of health.
      As for "coping"? I do not believe our personality is necessarily all about "coping". Modern genetics tells us that our personality is roughly 60% heritable... it's genetic, and gifted to us at conception. Or rather, that 60% heritable portion of our personality is the blueprint that interacts with the environment we find ourselves in at any given time... the 40% nurture aspect of our personality. That nurture process begins in the womb, and is a constant influence on how our personality develops, and that nurture process does not stop until we die. So it's not just all about coping unless you follow McDonald's level psychology. Childhood messages and experiences may influence the direction your heritable personality blueprint develops in, but they do not determine your personality or type. That is determined at conception. And of course other environmental factors influence personality development including diet, toxins, managed or unmanaged chronic health conditions, geography of where you live at any given time, cosmic and metaphysical forces we are all subjected to whether we believe in them or not, or whether we like it or not... so much influences how your personality blueprint develops, and it is constantly changing throughout life as environments, both physical, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual conditions change. When you decide to embark on a journey of personal growth, whether it be through the Enneagram or through old fashioned self reflection and learning from past life experiences, you are simply making a conscious decision to step into that nurture process and take control of it as much as you possibly can.
      I get tired of this nonsense that your personality is how you "cope", and that your entire type is the result of a negative childhood message. It is so disempowering and so victim oriented it pisses me off. I'd rather believe that I can decide to make a conscious decision to step into that life long nurture process and take control of it as much as humanly possible, and even include things like diet and physical and spiritual health in that process. It's better than being a victim of some early childhood message I either did or didn't get.

      @@milanka882 Wow. Thank you for your aswer!
      I started to think and tought one another option. Unhealthy 4s tend to be self-referencing, for example if somebody get preaise, they tend to think that why they not get the praise (envy), and think that they must be bad (shame themselves). 6s paranoia maybe a bit similar, interpreting something that is not really there.
      You rather look like a 5, seems you are deeply in this subject. :) I am a 9 by the way.
      I have to disagree, if your blueprint is only genetic -I know, you told 60%-, than you dont have a chance to any development, you never able to build up your weaker wing for example. I agree with the importance of genetic, and other factors, like what kind of food you are eat (GAPS), but the wouds are there. I rather think about that if your given genetics are x, than if your wound are shame, you will be 3, if your wound are fear, than 6, if anger than 9 for example (or 2, 4, 8 or 1, 5, 7), and your genetics/enviroment decide your subtype. (It is a very simplistic explanation I know.) So a healthy 3 and 6 and 9 looks similar, because they reduct the wounds and an unhealthy 3 and 6 and 9 also looks similar, because they have all kinds of wounds. I dont think that a wound is a victimization, everybody has wounds. If your wound is smaller, you are healthier, this is the only difference. How susceptible to wounds a person is, it is genetics also, some people are more sensitive by nature. Psychology is complex ...as the world.
      The main law for the universe is changing. :)
      I am beginer in this jurney, and I dont know if there is any path. If you are relative healthy probably never start this kind of jurney, you need to get to the rock bottom first, to realize, I need a change and to start searching (or you can stay with a victim mentality). So bad things are sometimes good, you need failure to learn and mature. As you said your decision to stay at your "outhouse" (be a victim) or not.
      ps: Did you and your friend find your protector/saviour at that time? or this is counterproductive?

At home he is a terror to me, and terrorizes our children, by being so evil and mean to me. He sometimes gets physical, and say that I'm pretending being hurt. I can't leave now, because I don't want him alone with the children. Can you imagine, leaving a demon with your children?!!!
