you sound like an enneagram type 5 - which i identify with as well.

i have personally found the enneagram theory to be extremely helpful in understanding/accepting my introversion, as well as others' differences in this area.

this book is the most approachable; this one was the first one i read, followed by this one.

while the theory is often dismissed as being some sort of astrology or numerology it really has nothing to do with anything esoteric and is purely observational (though some authors add various misinterpretations, including 'spiritual' ones which i typically find less than useful).

Source?

Most 4w5s are XNFX, actually, and are often INFP (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4, source 5, source 6). An ENFP is most likely to be a 4, 7, 2, or 9 (source 1, source 2, source 3).

I've never once seen a sensor 4w5, but they apparently do exist out there, albeit rare. I've seen only a few thinker 4w5s (online), and they were all INTPs.

Hi, I'm a 4w3. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling to find resolution with your conflict. I can't speak for every 4 as we are all very complex individuals. That being said, it took a long time for me to understand what healthy conflict looked like and what I long for in difficult conversations.

Deep down 4's believe they are fundamentally broken. They want to be known, and long for emotional connection (at least I do). I find that compliment sandwiches really help with this. Since it is important to me, I try to frame every conflict like:

>Hey John, I really like you and I think XYZ makes you really enjoyable to be around. I feel it is important to let you know that ABC has really hurt me and effected me. And since I value your friendship so much, I was wondering how we can resolve this."

Fours feel a ton of different things throughout the day. At almost all times, I am trying to decide if my feeling is valid or not or am I just hungry and need to eat. Because of this, I believe that 4's who are unhealthy (emotionally, socially, and mentally) can be very over reactive. 4's that are healthy and have found creative outlets for themselves can be very quick to understand your perspective, especially if they feel that their's is understood as well.

I hope that helps!

PS. I found 2 resources very accurate for 4's. "The Enneagram Made Easy" and "Sleeping at Last, Four". The first is a cartoon style book and the second is a podcast talking about how a song was written. Also Chris, the guest speaker, does an incredible job explaining do's and don'ts with 4s.

:-) Please please please please read this amazing book I just read: Loving Bravely by Solomon

https://www.amazon.com/Loving-Bravely-Twenty-Lessons-Self-Discovery/dp/1626255814

I can relate to a few things you talked about, and I think this book will be really enlightening for you. It totally changed the way I look at love and relationships...and I've read a ton of self help books on the subject.

Also, I will be reading Attached by Levine and Heller soon, so I can't vouch for it yet but it sounds really good.

You may have some "attachment items" you may want to consider and reflect on that may give you insight into your relationship patterns. This book would probably help a lot with that. Hope this helps! :-)


Also, nothing has helped me sort through my romantic relationship issues more than exploring my personality type through the enneagram. Check out

Super comprehensive book on all the 9 personality "types":
