Iโve heard here and there social 8s can resemble e9 and iโm a bit curious on your thoughts about that, would you say they in some way can have similarities especially with social 8 being a counter type?
enneagram 8 (social countertype)
would be inclined to start conflict for the sake of close ones
can also be mistaken for sx 4 or 2s
want to protect those around them
emotionally provoked my injustices
"antisocial people who try to be social" (haiki)
might sacrifice their own needs for love or wellbeing, but "replace it with a compensatory movement toward power and pleasure" (chestnut)
more likely to challenge authority
enneagram 9
not very protective
"forgets" themselves rather than consciously neglecting their needs
might change themselves even for someone who is not close
avoids conflict at all costs, at most passiveness
wayy more self-deprecating than an e8 (not always humor)
