#I mistyped as 4 because I was emo and depressed. never observed a single movement there til I started arting recently

[subconsciousmysteries]

I don't believe anyone is actually mistyped providing they are using the enneagram and cognitive functions the correct way, which is to observe Movements in their psyche.

If you're identifying with a type because you fit a static image that people have put forth for that enneatype, but you never actually observe any of that type's movements in yourself, then yeah, you can call yourself "mistyped".

#I mistyped as 9 because I wasn't observing any actual 9 -> 6 or 9 -> 3 #I was relating to Chestnut's static description of 9s but not observing any actual movement #I was vaguely observing 9 -> 3 #nowadays I can see the 9 in me properly and its there for sure but not as strong as I thought it was #I mistyped as 4 because I was emo and depressed. never observed a single movement there til I started arting recently #Never mistyped as 6 because I was like... er... it is absurd that I'm disintegrating into 3. im open minded to it but can never see 6 -> 3 #tho I always knew my head fix was definitely 6 #never mistyped as 5 because I didnt understand it #just knew I was a lot like a 5 #but when I told ppl I was a 5 they laughed at me #and I was like yeah true I relate to 6 more anyway #but no matter how much I related to 6 as a static type I always Knew I was a 5 when stressed... the movement was so strong. #and it came out when I was stressed like all the time #mistyped as 7 for a bit because people told me to be a 7w6 when I first discovered ennea. so I was like sure #I missed my 2 fix until my friend called it out. then I realized oof youre right. I can observe 2 movement in me #but I disintegrate to 5 more than 8 #and I just neglected 8 altogether because of all the drama people made about 8 on the internet. I was like #I'm not looking here. Not touching this. the drama isnt worth it plus its like I dont wanna confront these patterns in myself too #the internet is full of all these psycho 1s who wanna be 8s and they prevent anyone from deeply exploring what 8 means #due to a combination of envying real 8s (their 1 -> 4 makes them nuts like that) and loathing / fearing real 8-ness #since it is their opposing force #I loathe and fear real 1-ness #that's for sure #its a hell of a lot for me to go into the headspace of a 1 and write posts on 1 #but also therapeutic #the static images of types are needed to help us know whats going on... these are the Conscious... the exploration of the movement #is the Subconscious Mystery #1 is the conscious and 8 is the unconscious #125 = conscious... 478 = unconscious #many have described it this way
