And this was the point I was working towards this morning. I think that a great deal of my struggle thus far has been denial of my type.

I felt like an oddball, like I was wrong in feeling what I felt, in seeing the world as I do, in seeming to be so different from the crowd.

So I've been struggling to be like everyone else, and I can't do that.

I can AVRT like anyone's business, but to do that successfully, I first have to accept who I am. Not broken, not terminally unique, not wrong, but just me.

....

I did the enneagram thing and I'm either a 3 wing 2 or a 1 wing 2.
More complex than I can handle at this late hour, but perhaps I will explore more in days to come. Or maybe I'll stick with winging it.
