Easily my most exhausting experience as a female enneagram 8 is being told I’m being forceful and aggressive when I’m just being direct and clear and then being punished for not being direct and clear enough when I cave and soften my tone
“Why are you so angry?”
“I’m not.”
“Yes you are, I can tell. Why are you angry?”
“I’m not.”
“You should calm down, you sound so angry.”
“I’m not.”
“Oh my god SEE you’re really angry listen to you!”
“OKAY WELL NOW I FUCKING AM.”
“I knew it. You should try being less aggressive.”
“I’m not.”
“Yes you are, I can tell. Why are you angry?”
“I’m not.”
“You should calm down, you sound so angry.”
“I’m not.”
“Oh my god SEE you’re really angry listen to you!”
“OKAY WELL NOW I FUCKING AM.”
“I knew it. You should try being less aggressive.”
The thing to know about an enneagram 8:
You haven’t actually seen us truly angry. You sweet summer children just think you have.
You haven’t actually seen us truly angry. You sweet summer children just think you have.
Conflict is our intimacy. Debate and confrontation don’t make us angry. It makes us excited. If you want to love us, learn to tell the difference.
lol @ me also feeling the need to directly state that these tweets aren’t about anyone and nothing happened. Today just felt like a fun day to say the stuff I think about all the time out loud.
I don’t speak “passive aggressive”
