Curious if you feel that as an 8, we get shoved down. Maybe you donāt and think Iām victimizing myself/us. Thatās fine. Share, if so.
Maybe youāve had similar experiences and feel like society just canāt easily handle 8s and people tend to be scared of us, consciously or not. Even 8s do this to each other!
Maybe it differs depending on the society too. But itās a very anti-authoritarian and anti-control type that challenges othersā power. Iām in America which is more 3 and 6, 8 gets teamed up on.
I felt this during times I got out of hand, pushed the limits, and people in power and authority used excessive measures against me, to control me.
EDIT: please, other types, also share if you feel this way about yourself and your style in general!
I am constantly trying to work on myself and not always let my anti authoritarian beliefs show, especially when there is nothing on the line except principle. With that said I have encountered opposition just for standing my ground or speaking up, not in a combative way but in a stern and strict way. Iāve watched others have meltdowns because I guess no one has challenged them. This could be something as simple as trying to leave Home Depot after checking out and being told to go to the other doors because they are loading someone under the awning and me simply saying āsorry Iām not going thatā to walking out of Walmart and being asked to show my receipt and it turning into a 2 minute argument on how Iām not showing my receipt, never have and never will but they are more than welcome to call the police and Iāll show them the receipt.
