Enneagram 8 confusion
This is more about enneagram than socionics, but I have seen other posts on here say things like ESI can't be 8. I've been watching the Chestnut and Paes videos and I'm confused about Social 8. They say this is the countertype, and it is more focused on others and their aggression is tempered somewhat. And then in their video about sexual repressed, they say the SX repressed 8 is quite mellow and can even be shy. I am confused about how such a person can still be an 8? Can someone shy, mellow and focused on helping others still be consumed by lust and vengeance? Or is it more that they are shy compared to other 8s who are extremely outgoing? I ask because I wonder if this might actually be my type. Any help would be much appreciated!
