Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Not necessarily a Six...Posted by Tehuti on March 01, 2000 at 00:49:58: In Reply to: I think I'm a 6... posted by Julian on February 29, 2000 at 23:53:25: Hey Julian. I don't believe these are only "Six" feelings, as I'm feeling them all the friggin' time!! Just look at my posts here...gah, pathetic of me. Let me tell you a little story and hope I never end up regretting it. (See?? Paranoia??) I post regularly at Switchboard. It's this swill-hole where everybody is supposed to be able to share their stories and opinions, like here. But the place is HORRID. Flame wars *constantly.* People stealing other people's names. A CESSPOOL OF SOCIOPATHS! Yet I keep going back there, moron that I am. Why? I like posting, and I like hearing--er, reading--the few good posts that do come back now and then. I end up getting battered over the head every stinkin' time I visit, but I keep doing it. I must be a masochist. Anyway, it's somewhat the same thing--I crave the attention, I seek it, when I get some I feel paranoid ("Hey, this person's being *too* nice--they must be the flamer," 'cause that's how he'd always start in on me, by the way, by being really nice), then I'd back off, get the nice person upset, wait a while, go back in and post again, seek attention, get some, get paranoid again, etc. etc. This is a Six trait, but a Four trait too. The thing is that Fours are a feeling type--so I think maybe it hurts us more! We take everything TOO personally. (Just look at The History Of Rejection According To Tehuti anywhere below.) Well, now I'm probably gonna regret opening up like this. (Yah! Every time!) And I'm not even sure if I made any sense. But just thought I'd let you know that feeling paranoid doesn't necessarily mean you're a Six...not that there's anything wrong with Sixes. ;) Now it's time to go over to Switchboard for my daily beating... AUS, Tehuti
