Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Re: Hahhaha...Posted by RoTtEn ApPlE on September 29, 2001 at 18:00:50: In Reply to: Re: Hahhaha... posted by Mikko on September 29, 2001 at 10:51:14: : : Manners are a sign of good mental health? Well-behaved people are the happiest and healthiest? Repress the id and build the ego? Missionary position, if you please. Don't you see that your POV is very much tainted by the idealization of Type 1, your direction of integration? : --Don't you see you're talking to yourself? Yes, manners are a sign of good mental health. Think of Conan O'Brien. Did you ask yourself, before posting that comment on Type 1 that "I wonder if people really idealize their direction of intergration much? Do I idealize 8? I wonder if Diarmuid is idealizing 1?" >>>> I often feel like I'm talking to myself since you and others never seem to respond to my point. I am using rhetorical questions that echo and exaggerate the theme I see in Diarmuid's statement. Ofcourse I realize I idealize Type 8... which is why I don't ask or expect everyone here to play rough or over-emphasize their untouchable strength like I do. I don't expect 4s or 8s or 6s to act like 5s. And I don't measure their mental health by standards of Type 5 mental health. I don't hold illusions that my 5ish behavior is in any way superior to 4ish behavior. It's also worth noting that idealization in general is much more of an issue for 4s than 5s.
