Am I crazy for thinking enneagram 4 is ironically one of the most misunderstood?
I keep hearing that the e4 is all about a fear of being ordinary, but it feels to me based on what I think is a degree of 4 in myself and in those close to me the core fear is more being misunderstood, and having your perspective suppressed or misjudged when people interpret it in a conventional and shallow framework. Based on that hearing that the e4 is all about trying to be different (and even envying the individualities of others rather than their ability to be accurately perceived as individuals) seems alienating and like it completely misreads that the core fears of being an e4 are the desire to be genuine and seen authentically for it, not to preform. Based on that I’d actually probably want to be more common in my emotions if it makes it easier to be understood authentically, and I fear more having my personal significance ignored rather than not having any. Am I misguided here? Are these thoughts not e4 thoughts but something else?
