Just as the title says, I'm a bit conflicted about how people usually type themselves. I have a bunch of questions if y'all don't mind answering.

Is it based on their external behavior and their interactions with others or is it how they are internally?

If it's either of them then how would someone type themselves if they are a bit conflicting or contrasting who they are inside vs how they appear like?

And how would mental illnesses or diagnoses affect your typing. like for instance, hypothetically you're diagnosed with anxiety, how would you separate it from typing yourself since e6 is all about anxiety (and head triad in general)

My apologies if these questions sound dumb feel free to answer them

HELLOOOOO hihihi I'm 16 years old and I recently got into enneagram right after i briefly studied the cognitive functions! Sooo I'm Ne dom NeTi mkay? Ok back to the main topic. (I would want to share as to why i think I'm a Ne dom but the topic would get drifted and i currently want advice in enneagram typing)

I studied the three triads first and got to the conclusion that i am a head triad (anticipating worst case scenarios, wanting safety by getting knowledge, yata yata yk the deal) so like that'll leave us to 5, 6 and 7 (67 boii okok i wont joke...).

Anyways on a serious note I looked into all the types and i resonate with E6 the most!

So basically what i relate to the most is trying to find the security and safety that i desire. Basically despite being Ne dom i usually use it more in order to find more possibilities or imagining "scenarios" of what could the worst case be and like. It's something to use for caution. ANYWAYS ASIDE FROM THAT back to the traits i relate to!

I usually experience internal anxiety and doubt n often worry about not doing stuff right or that I'll mess up and disappoint myself and expose myself to potential external threats and judgement.

Anyways to simplify it I'm risk aware, skeptical, anxious, distrustful, indecisive

Although despite my spirallings and anxiety im also very and i mean VERYYY trouble avoidant or fear avoidant. I'd rather like do my hobbies or play videogames or socialize w some of my cool friends than face my fears. Whenever I'm alone or have nothing to do my mind just goes into spirals again and I'd have all sorts of stupid negative thoughts

Anyways I'd rather avoid my problems or try to distract myself cuz i have doubts in myself and my strength to face that threat or fear

And im also not very hardworking. I heard that e6 are like hardworking or smtj and im like super unmotivated. Unless its not smtj i enjoy or have internet in I'd probably not work hard to do it! (I PROMISE I'LL TRY TO FIX THIS HABIT)

IDK WHAT TO DO TBH the thing that's been bugging me, just like how the title says, i currently have anxiety andddd like I don't want it to influence my typing and have me be mistyped ykwim? Especially since i heard from somewhere that entps being e6 is so uncommon and in most cases mistype which made me rethink yk..

ANYWAYS I NEED HELPPPP HOW DO I KNOW IF ITS ANXIETY INFLUENCE OR IM REALLY JUST E6 LIKE IS THERE A CERTAIN WAY TO KNOW IF IM MISTYPED OR NOT?? 😭😭
