Enneagram Type 4

An overview of an enneagram type. Not an expert. May change later.

___

Type 4

Center: Heart/Image/Shame

Other triads: Reactive, Withdrawn, Frustration

Basic motivation: Create a unique identity, make personal significance

Basic fear: Being forgotten, not feeling important

Wings: 4w3, 4w5

Disintegration/stress: 2

Integration/growth: 1

___

Traits

- Strengths -

In tune with emotions

Expressive and creative

Have an eye for beauty/aesthetics

Empathetic

Tries to be genuine, be themselves

- Weaknesses -

Can be moody and overly sensitive

Self conscious

Feel defective

Can be self pitying

Focus too much on themselves

___

Wings

- 4w3 -

The 3 wing adds a spit of spark to the typically melancholic 4 core. A bit more outgoing and friendly. May feel envious of others more often. Want to have validation and praise for their unique accomplishments. 3 wing helps them set goals, which are usually aligned with expression and creativity. 4s want to make a mark/influence on the world and 3 wants to be successful in making that mark. They want their uniqueness to be seen.

- 4w5 -

4 and 5 are both withdrawn types, so it's no surprise 4w5s are often introverted and/or private. Independent type who does what they want. Can intellectualize their emotions. Can get lost in their own world as they are focused on building their creativity and skills rather than focusing on relationships.

___

Disintegration: 2

Disintegration to 2 can cause a 4 to lose sense of their independence, instead throwing themselves into relationships. They want to be rescued somehow without putting much effort into building genuine connections. Very clingy and intrusive.

Integration: 1

Integration to 1 can cause a 4 to become more objective and more bold to take actions towards their desired goals and dreams. They learn not to be trapped in their self absorptions. They learn to control/balance their feelings so they are less moody. Integrating 4s have a desire to contribute to the world and make a better difference rather than simply only doing things they want whenever they want.

___

Subtypes of 4

- Sp 4 -

Sp 4 is the most internalized and least expressive about their pain and suffering compared to the typical 4. They learn to deal with it by themselves. They want to be recognized and accepted for being so "tough" for not complaining about going through heavy things. They may instead look for those who are visibly suffering in order to provide empathy and help for them.

- Sx 4 -

Sx 4 is the most expressive and intense. They want to be their most authentic selves and chase after their desires. They are very deliberate in trying to attract others with their unique and genuine character - with the way they dress, act, any sort of self expression, they need people to like their uniqueness. They can be more assertive with their needs, which can be used to cover up the actual sadness they have inside. They have a deep need to prove they are worthy.

- So 4 -

So 4 is the most connected to their suffering and will openly show this. They compare themselves a lot to others and feel shame for not having the traits they envy. They want to be accepted but fear their flaws will drive people away. Inferiority and victim complex. There is a lot of inner conflict of wanting to be original and different but fearing having something wrong with them and longing for others acceptance.

[subconsciousmysteries]

Anyone who knows true enneagram has gotten past all the “image types are the tender and emotional ones” crap and seen the image triad for what it truly is: delusional egotism and narcissism that actually suppresses the emotions.

the reason we all lie to ourselves that the image triad is about “tenderness and emotionalness” “uwu sensitive arteest” “emotionally raw” is because we don’t want to face this dark truth… that image types are the least vulnerable, most emotionally repressed, most god complexy narcissists at their worst. Yes, especially 2 and 4. This is not just describing 3.

Now you may be wondering, after you have received your red pill on the image triad: “so what’s even the point of the image triad then? Isnt it objectively the worst one? Isn’t the image triad some sort of evil abomination that shouldn’t exist?”

I asked myself these questions for years & I have a ton of friends who ask themselves the same questions. I kept asking myself “what’s the point of the image triad” instead of concluding that it is a useless mistake, because I thought… well… enneagram is all about the balance of the universe. it can’t be true that one whole triad is just a mistake and an abomination of nature.

I realized that there is a reason why certain types (gut types and 6s) integrate and disintegrate into the image triad. They need to learn something from the image triad. There is a great importance to the image triad’s egotism after all, otherwise other types wouldn’t have lines to it. There is a virtue to be found in the narcisssitic madness. Even if I can’t find it. As a weak image fix, 86 or 96 (types which all have lines to the image triad) my development into a fully-balanced person depends on finding out what’s so virtuous about the image triad. So I decided I have to keep looking.

As my favorite awakening guru says, “we don’t need to get rid of ego, we need a healthy ego”. A lot of cultural propaganda from religion to the new age will tell you: EGO IS BAD! But actually it’s not. Ego is the thing that lets you not be controlled. That’s why so many people who want to control us, tell us that ego is bad and we should feel ashamed of ever forming one! Ego is boundaries.

We need a fucking ego. We also need awareness of the total chaos of the universe and our inherent egolessness. We need a balance of both. The image triad embodies the ego, and the gut triad embodies the complete egolessness.

The image triad’s problem is having too much ego. Being so obsessed with the ego that they forget their natural state as chaotic, spontaneous, undefined beings and think that “the ego is me”. Meanwhile, the types who integrate and disintegrate into the image triad, do not have enough ego. 6s and gut types do not build egos for fear that building any ego is bad, limiting, immoral and wrong (yes, even 8s. 8 is the over justice maker, all about a concern with right and wrong, and an inability to form any structure including their own ego structure). Gut types and 6s need to learn from the image triad how to build a healthy ego so that they can build boundaries.

Conscious manifestation has literally gotten to the point for me where if I think about something, it will literally just show up in my algorithm right in front of me. Not ads selling anything but people posting about verrrry specific tidbits from films or about people or concepts I've concentrated on. And they'll be things that are very random that are unique to those posters if I've been following them already.

It also happens with people. If I'm dead set on something, it'll be the topic of someone I speak to very shortly. I've had numerous 'i was just thinking about that!' moments that there's too many to track.

The 3D really does reflect who you're being for real.

#loa #manifestation #mani things #so i was watching dune part 2 last night and fixated on that hot triad of industrial goth gfs of feyd right?? #and a twt account i'm SUBBED to randomly makes an edit with them and they've never talked about dune ever #it was the FIRST image in the photo set and it was posted a few minutes ago like GIRL

Talking about vidya games...

#my art #system tag #i just felt like drawing this conversation we had. #im having a weird day so im just doing whatever and posting this although i doubt anybody cares lol. #i hope the res is ok posting this. it crapped out while drafting so idk what itll do. #pannelled this too weirdly to break down into several different images. #i forgot to rate by score. fuck my baka life. ok so. #music rlly can enhance a vidya game. that being said i think its ok i didnt include it into the rating even though if i had thought about i #i wouldve. its because when i play some games i turn off the music which is the case in kenshi for example. #but in outer wilds the score is groundbreaking unparalleled never been done before etc so. #also some music have turned games into my fave. #hey i forgot to compare dark chronicle also to this. its my other fave game. #ok triad of fave games kenshi dark chronicle outer wilds. #bye.

I love plotting with friends because we started with “haha wouldn’t it be funny if” and now there’s a kid and also a paternity crisis @tortoisesshells

#THESE ARE THE BEST SHIPS THOUGH. #➤ ooc. ┊ she’s nauseous，she’s hysterical，and she’s exhausted. #meanwhile we’re mimetic images of two triads from a decade and also two centuries ago. #and also hades and persephone imagery.

gillian flynn really nails what it's like to be a woman and feel like everyone in the world considers your body to be public property

#Like it's such a huge part of Sharp Objects especially #Gone Girl it's more like Amy's entire Image is public domain rather than just her physical body #But in SO the Camille-Adora-Amma triad is sooooo sick

[subconsciousmysteries]

Image types really get off on thinking they can pinpoint you in 0.2 seconds based on your behavior in one situation and it’s creepy and annoying as hell.

I just remembered the phrase "Elite Trine" and i have an idea for my au. Well, technology in my au and in canon, 2/3rds of the Decepticon elite trine is offlined.

But nothing prevents me from making an autobot elite triad and immediately electing Elita-One as the leader

#nOTHING!! MWUAHAHAHA #I've had the same image of Elita picking up Jazz and Prowl by the scruffs circling in my head for a good ten hours now #her saying she keeps the boys in line #yeah no doubt she's the one in charge #tfp au #the TIC triad #i should have seen this coming tbh

[wanderingandfound]

You know that [type of] Tumblr post that's "oh wow Tumblr wasn't baited this time, those pirates really ARE gay" "I am changed irrevocably"? Well, I don't know if it's that I started listening to WtNV 9 years or watched Schitt's Creek or because I saw all the gifs and analysis of OFMD before watching it but it didn't hit me in quite the same way. Like it's good! I enjoyed it! But I went through no personal relevations.

But what has deeply meant something to me, even though I also knew it was coming, even though I thought my years of fandom had satisfied me and I didn't need canon to, is the OT3 in Iron Widow. Like, I knew it was coming from the author's Twitter but I also knew it wasn't quite my preferred genre and it's YA so the pacing was definitely going to be tight (I thought (but was wrong) that it was a stand-alone novel but it's the first in a series (duology?) and it ends not so much on a cliffhanger as a dropped-from-the-cliff-and-thought-was-on-rocky-ground-but-no-the-cliff-is-actually-much-taller-so-be-careful-where-you-step).

Where was I?

To borrow language from Mark Reads, I thought I was prepared. I was not. More canon romantic triads now, please and thank you.

#Also if someone could recommend a triad with MAX 1 man that would be great. #I'm bi. I love men. But like... #Oh let me find that draft and attach an image in the reblogs. #personal #liveblogging stories
