QC added,
QC @QiaochuYuanIt's easier to notice this for "negative" emotions but it's also happening with "positive" emotions. We also don't know how to handle our own joy or wonder or euphoria; we feel we don't deserve it and fear punishment; we fear that we look ridiculous or unacceptable to others.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -
afaict all of my happiest moments over the last 2 years were times when i felt like i was impressing people a lot - that i had been performing perfectly in some sense. it is most reliably the thing i need to access happiness, and the sense that i've done anything wrong kills it

my gender identity is enneagram 3. that means i don't care what my gender is as long as you're impressed by my gender performance. my pronouns are "that really cool person over there" if i woke up in a woman's body tomorrow i'd be fine as long as i had outfits i could rock

MBTI has never resonated with me but i took the test for funsies recently, here ya go. i feel like it constantly asked me to choose between "are you mostly A or mostly B" where i'm like "iT dEpEnDs On ThE fUcKiNg CoNtExT"pic.twitter.com/iPhNkLBBMy

i've never seen anyone present MBTI in a way that is compatible with the existence of developmental stages and that's super annoying. by contrast the enneagram institute website basically lays out developmental paths for each enneatype and that's dope

Keirsey's remix of MBTI is not bad if you just look at the two core axes of the 2x2. He also has *some* developmental stuff (in terms of aspirational direction) in there. His book is pretty dope but, yeah, Enneagram is really good shit
