9 Signs You Might Be An Enneagram Type 9

In This Article:

If you haven't heard of the enneagram yet, you might just live under a rock. The enneagram is a personality typing model that is all the rage right now, and for good reason. This tool helps people realize their true self and encourages personal growth. From personal experience, it's incredibly accurate and helpful. As a nine on the enneagram, these are things I know to be true about myself, and if you resonate with most of these, there's a good chance you're a nine as well!

1. "I don't care, whatever you want to do."

Nines are peacemakers, which means we long for harmony in all situations we find ourselves in. When we say we don't care, we usually mean it. As long as the people we're around are happy, so are we (for the most part).

2. Always being wrapped in a blanket, even if you're not actually cold.

We just wanna be comfy. Like all the time.

3. "I need coffee."

These words come from our mouths often, or we're at least thinking it. Nines have the lowest energy level out of all types on the enneagram, so the more caffeine, the better.

4. Naps for days.

Again, low energy level so give us a break.

5. People assume you're shy.

Nines are often mis-identified as shy simply because of our incredible listening abilities. Being a good listener and only speaking when we have something meaningful to say doesn't always mean we're shy.

6. The thought of stress stresses you out.

When something seems stressful, or like it has the potential to be stressful, nines either retreat or find a way around it.

7. You're a big fan of girls night in.

We're home bodies. A night in with wine and girl talk is often more appealing than a night out on the town.

8. "You're such a great listener."

We know. If you want to feel heard, befriend a nine. We may not always have the best advice, but sometimes all you need is someone to listen.

9. Saying you're busy when you really plan on getting cozy and watching Netflix.

Sometimes (actually a lot of times) nines just need their relaxation time. It's how we are able to function as actual human beings.

If you've read every single one of these and thought "wow that's so me", you may be a nine on the enneagram. I highly encourage you to check out the enneagram for yourself to discover your type. Embracing the enneagram can honestly change your life. You won't regret it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
