13:58 "You need hardship to grow you" really left an impression on me because I always lament hardship. You are 100% right about my needing a push to get me to do something. 1:11:40 "Things that take others a year take them 10." This is so true for me. This is such a well crafted video. The concept behind using a song to illustrate a trait and then the explanations that you offered were incredible. Thank you so much for the time you invested in researching information and making this video.

Really found this powerful and a very accurate description of the inner workings of a nine. I consider myself a 9w1. I skimmed the enneagram about 20 years ago. Surprise-I didn’t go deep. I’m in the 3rd third of my lifespan now. Time to wake up, dust off the cobwebs and make the most of time I have left. My last notation I made-I do have the fire and grit to go the distance. Many thanks to you 🙏

Great video. Nines, enjoy your power that you have, Don't be small be big be proud. you can really make a big difference in a lot of people's lives By helping them see the truth With your empathy and Compassion And your ability To see things in different perspectives And all sides. You can't help everyone and not everyone wants to be helped. You may piss some people off but if you help that person it's worth it , even if they , never talk to you again. A covert narcissist really changed my life and believe it or not. Made me a stronger person. I learned not to take everybody at face value, Took up boxing,weight. Lifting eating healthy really helped of my self-esteem. And I I'm a little cocky now but that's OK I needed it. Right now I'm even debating religious facts with my super religious co-worker. Who's a enneagram 1, istj. We're actually friends, but boy, can we both be stubborn? LOL.. But it's good that's what you need nines

Also, if you're into fantasy/horror, Clive Barker wrote a novel called "Weaveworld", which has a very type 9 moment in it.

Have you ever seen a 9 who was struggling with derealization? Like feeling like they're almost in a dreamlike state, not totally present. That's something I've been struggling with constantly for some years now and it seemed to totally come out of the blue and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out where it came from so I can hopefully overcome it. And lately I've been listening to a lot of enneagram stuff and I keep hearing mentions of 9s experiencing disassociation, so I'm really curious if you've seen that before or if you have any insight at all into that.

It’s like a 9 is in a fog and not with us for a bit. With close friends and clients I’ll give them this feedback and often recommend a deep meditation practice where they lock in to being present, they may need to cater it to them as a nine specifically, so maybe some traditional meditations don’t work so you’d have to be creative.

Omg same! For so long I thought I was a 4w5, but now the 9w1 seems to describe me better. I think a difference that made me lean to the 9 more was asking myself if I tend to dwell in melancholy (a characteristic of a 4), and I do kinda but not for too long. I tend to want to move away from negative emotions after a while and distract distract distract, which is NOT what a 4 does. Hope that helps a little! Just be really honest with yourself.

Not sure of my enneagram number. I just can’t understand why people aren’t so respectful and considerate towards others like in a default setting 😀! Do to others what you would like others do to you. So simple… That’s why it’s easier to say “fuck you” without saying it to people’s faces. It saves me a lot of energy, it gives me power… and it feels pretty good because since I am not doing what you want anymore, NOW “you” have to SEE me!
