Enneagram 7 disintegration6/27/2023 ![]() However, due to a dislike of sticking with any one thing for too long, they can become the epitome of the jack-of-all trades. They grasp concepts easily and enjoy trying new things. Sevens are often very good at picking up new skills. They can become very future-oriented, forgetting the past and even finding it difficult to remember to focus on the present. For the seven, the anticipation of an experience is often as good as the experience itself, if not better. They tend to live in their imaginations, often anticipating the next thing on their agenda and fantasising about future adventures. Sevens often spend a lot of time in their heads. However, their desire for excitement means that their stories often become increasingly exaggerated and less reliable with each retelling! They’re natural-born storytellers and find it easy to capture (and keep) an audience’s attention. They tend to have good people skills and be eloquent and extroverted. Sevens are often charismatic and charming individuals. ![]() Although this works temporarily, it’s not unusual for sevens to suffer from burnout when they can’t keep up with their manic pace of life any longer. Sevens often struggle to sit with negative emotions, and instead try to fill their lives in order to distract themselves from these feelings. This effort to keep their minds and bodies occupied comes partly from a fear of what will happen when there is no next thing. Sevens often over-schedule themselves in order to maintain a perpetual state of busyness. The path of growth for sevens lies in the realisation that they can only find what they are searching for inside of them, rather than through an external experience. ![]() Therefore, they consume as much as possible in the hope that they will find the one thing that completes their search. When faced with these situations, the seven’s natural instinct is often to jump ship and find a more exciting (and therefore in their heads worthwhile) use of their time.ĭeep down, sevens often feel like they haven’t found the one experience or feeling that will make them fully content. Similarly, they don’t enjoy doing the same thing too many times, instead preferring to seek out the high of another first experience. Sevens love variety and dislike feeling trapped by limited options or restraints. They tend to have short attention spans, preferring to do many different things rather than spend too long on one project or experience. They are avid consumers – not just of material goods, but also of relationships, ideas, etc. Their desire for adventure means that they are rarely satisfied being still for long. The seven’s attention often goes towards what they can experience next. ![]() They are natural optimists, able to find the silver lining in any given situation. They dislike negativity and can become flighty or frustrated when they feel that those around them aren’t being positive enough. However, it’s not just their happiness that is important to them – sevens are most content when those around them are also satisfied and happy. Sevens are easily able to access joy, and delight in sharing this joy and happiness with those around them. They approach everything with all of their energy and will throw themselves into whatever is currently happening in their lives. They find the simple act of living an adventure and live in a constant state of anticipation for what will come next. Sevens are enthusiastic, fun-loving adventurers full of excitement and energy for the world.
