In this episode of Enneagram Adventure, Tannah and Holly discuss a social media post titled “I’m the Problem” (from Aligned Soul Co) as a potentially triggering but useful prompt for self-awareness, emphasizing the Enneagram as a tool for understanding core motivation (“your why”), not just behavior. They read and react to “I’m the problem” statements for multiple types—starting with Eight (bulldozing, testing people, accidental intimidation), then Two (keeping score and “buying” love), Five (protecting energy by shutting down or disappearing), Four (making feelings others’ responsibility and using depth to create distance), Six (creating the chaos they fear and anxiety spreading), Nine (peacekeeping through avoidance and silent resentment), Seven (avoiding heaviness with constant optimism and exits), Three (performing to be impressive and turning connection into competition), and One (high standards and feedback that makes others feel wrong). They close by noting everyone has growth work and inviting listeners to like, subscribe, comment, and share.
