I've been exploring the Enneagram for self-understanding and growth. My type is "five": The Observer (enneagraminstitute.com/type-5).

"Fives feel [they can't] do things as well as others. But rather than engage directly with activities that might bolster their confidence, ...
... Fives 'take a step back' into their minds where they feel more capable. Their belief is that from the safety of their minds, they will eventually figure out how to do things—and one day rejoin the world."

Oooof. Just @ me next time.
When I read that "Edward Scissorhands perfectly describes the inner emotional life of a Five" I HAD to go watch it.

When Peg first visits Edward's castle (i.e. his mind), she first sees his elaborate garden, and I lost my shit.

A bit on the nose 😅 (the first pic is mine).

Something about 7s that they don’t teach ya in the summaries...

When we introvert, we introvert hard. We can disappear for weeks - totally fall off the grid - in our own little world of “anything but the feels” when we are out of energy to be fully present. #millenneagram
Sometimes it means something is out of whack.
Sometimes it just means we need to be alone and catch up to ourselves.
Sometimes it means we’re tired of being funny - the life of the party.
Sometimes it means we’re in a deep depression.
But it’s us through and through.
Each type is so nuanced and speaking as a 7, I think that’s one of the ways we are most misunderstood.

It’s not that we are totally averse to deep, dark waters. It’s just that we often have to go there alone before we let you experience that part of us.
