Enneagram Type 4

Ahh 4s 💗 I’m obsessed with 4s. The sad thing about a 4 is they don’t always see their innate gifts as the valuable commodities that they are - sometimes even resigning themselves to unhappiness & disappearing from the world for days at a time!

4s reading this post may be tempted to fixate on the “Struggles” column 🙈 But the thing is, without 4s in the world we would have little perspective or depth in our culture - wherever you are.

4s have brought the world some of the most unique thinkers, powerful activists and artists that make us sit up and FEEL what is happening around us in a much more profound way 🤯

Whether they’re creative or not (something 4s are renowned for, though I know many 4s who don’t think they’re creative at all!) - they’ll inspire people with their unique take on things 🤩

Don’t be fooled by the melancholic description I’m giving here either - 4s can have an amazing sense of humour about life! 🤗

Think Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan 🗣💔🌍 Plus 90% of the worlds greatest movie directors! They see things differently to most of us & when they can express themselves & bring us into their world we ALL feel more connected to ourselves & each other - even if unified by shared pain, in there lies the inspiration for action ✊

Thank god for 4s who’ve come to save our souls & teach us more about humanity 💞

As a type 2, I move to 4 in growth - no easy feat for a 2! (More on the growth and stress movements to come!) So I have a lot to learn from this powerful introspective type who take the space they need to process their feelings BEFORE engaging with the world.

So have no doubt my type 4 friends - you are tremendously valuable to the lives you touch and a shining example to me as a 2 for how I can evolve & become less of a people pleaser & more in touch with myself ✨

But… when IN doubt my dear 4s - stop withdrawing, engage with the world & focus on others. It is the only medicine with the power to bring you out of the darker slumps. ♥️
