THE ENEAGRAM IN RELATIONSHIPS: TYPES FIFTH AND SIXTH

One of the most powerful tools for personal development, the Enneagram is a personality typology that divides nine personality types or nine faces of the soul. They are nine different ways of feeling, thinking and acting.

Let's get to know the fifth and sixth enneagram personality types - Observers and Skeptics!

Fifth Enneagram Type – The Observer

Observer is a curious, analytical, independent, innovative, observant and quiet person who likes to work without interruption. The fifth type is able to develop complex skills and develop complex ideas. The fifth strives after your space, both mentally and physically. A person who will never be bored alone - will always find something to do work, sees the world through different eyes, creator of innovations.

The observer does not like being invited to talk about his feelings, he perceives it as an attack.

Fifths must learn to express themselves and talk about their feelings, as well as realize that observing and thinking distracts from real participation in life. You should try to participate more actively in discussions and get involved in adventures, reveal your enthusiasm.

Dare to express yourself more!

In a relationship with a representative of the fifth type you fell in love with his truthfulness, the ability to maintain a clear mind under any circumstances, outward calmness, self-sufficiency and a sharp mind. Since the fifth type enneagram does not openly show his feelings and always seek isolation, you may begin to feel lonely or rejected. Fifths have difficulty expressing their emotions in words, therefore sexuality for them is a way of non-verbal communication to demonstrate their feelings. If the Observer is deeply romantically interested, can become very open, however, when feeling misunderstood or unappreciated, tends to relapse distance yourself emotionally. A strong bond with people for fifths alternates with long periods of isolation.

Sixth Enneagram Type – Skeptic

Safety and danger - two concepts that rule the sixth enneagram type . He likes the feeling of security, but sees danger where it is necessary and where it is not. Sixth is bad scenario planners who want to be prepared for anything. But it becomes a bonus at the moment when it is necessary to evaluate and anticipate risks. The sixth is a hard-working and responsible person with a high sense of responsibility. Great team members and trusted friends.

Sixths must learn to let go of constant tension and allow themselves to relax.

It must be assumed that not everything can be predicted in life and that uncertainty is a completely natural and inevitable state in various aspects of life situations. It's part of life! Paying attention to the physical will help you calm down and connect with nature feelings; focus on yourself!

In the relationship with a representative of the sixth type you experience the belief that this person wants to be with you for life - a partner invests well-considered decisions in building a relationship and stability. Insurance, marriage contract - it's all about the Skeptic. Practicality, careful planning, loyalty – values that initially seem very attractive. While this sense of responsibility and exaggerated desire for security do not go to extremes... Sixths are suspicious in close relationships, they are easily hurt.
