Who's your Drama Queen?

The Enneagram is my hands down favorite personality typing system.

The quick and simple guide to this topic is: "Are you my Type, Am
I Yours?" by Baron & Wagele. You can find it everywhere.

With 9 different types, about 1/9 of the population would be considered
"type 4" which is known as the "Romantic" or someone with a lot of
emotional ups & downs. You might think of them as the drama queen
in your social circle or the person who always has a new dramatic story.

Type 4's are brilliant artists, able to feel and express emotions to depths
most of us can't imagine. Their job in this world is to help us feel and
realize our own emotions, to help us get carried away in the moment.
They have a deep need to express themselves verbally, visually, physically,
whatever way helps them feel "Known". Many performers are this type.

With a "Type 4"....

What to Expect:
Type 4's wanting Deep Intense Experiences
Feeling Pushed Away then Pulled Back
Extremely Beautiful Creative Talent
Huge Reactions to Everyday Happenings

What not to expect:
Keeping Opinions to Themselves
Being able to laugh off negative gossip
Having a Mundane Task/Job/Career
Only talking about "Happy" topics

On a Good Day:
Organized, Objective, Dominant

On a Stressed Day:
Codependent, Manipulative, Needing Attention

How to Get Along Well:
Show your Love Often
Don't try to "fix" them or their feelings
Be Honest about how they Affect you
Appreciate their Creativity
Let them Express their Intense Feelings

Do you have a Type 4 in your life?

Keep your eyes and ears open!
