    This is a very good 7 interpretation of a 9, but I don't think it's quite right. As a 9, I pursue peace not out of avoidance of difficult feelings (that's a sevenish way of thinking about it), but because I very sincerely and deeply believe I don't merit the feelings, the disruption, the time, the emotional expense that it requires others to expend in engaging with me at that level. I do not think my opinion is important. I do not think my desires are important. Its not a problem for a 9 to go into hard feelings with people or talk about difficult things or even process hard conversations with spouses, and yes we ultimately want to resolve them (staying in a state of suffering and unresolve is very uncomfortable). What is most painful to a 9 is not introspection (I have hard self-examining processes running all the time) (again perhaps some of your 7 coming through) but the casualness with which someone may toss aside or ignore our tentatively mentioned desires. It affirms for us what we already too easily believe about ourselves: that we don't matter. That we could slip into the crack between two floor boards, or evaporate like mist in the rising sun, and those closest to us would continue their lives and conversations without missing a beat. That is why it is hard to be vulnerable and speak up.

    I don’t mirror in relationships anymore. I’ve learned to not loose myself in relationships anymore... and with Dr. Lahue I’ve learned to address conflict but still have issues of withdrawing when met with extremely combative people and think they just won’t get it. Once I “woke up” I made some life changing decisions and my whole being shifted to self preservation from sx subtype. Anyway, just wanted to acknowledge that I have had some growth... and it’s a journey. Be patient with yourselves 9s.

I love them and I want them to be the most happy 2. I don’t really care that much what we are doing/eating/whatever as along as we are together and we have a good time.
    So I believe the reason is altruistic and not selfish.

    As a 9 I usually feel more comfortable staying in the background and not putting myself out there. I think a really good idea for a video would be how to help 9s see that they have value and that they should share it with the world like a healthy 3 would. For example I have lots of interests and knowledge about different subjects, but I have a hard time sharing it because I feel like nobody really cares. I keep thinking I should create content online, like maybe RUclips videos but I have this feeling nobody would get anything from it so why bother.

    When talking about getting bogged down with everybody's opinions and needing to hear all of them before moving forward...as a nine, I don't think it's that way. When interacting with people I have empathy with their position and can see where they are coming from, but I don't necessarily always think that they have a valid, or worthwhile point of view. And I really don't want to hear everyone's opinion, that would be exhausting, having to process all of their thoughts and feelings. Like you say we think everybody is stupid ;)

      A big part of why I want to hear everyone's opinion is because you'll never know if their idea is exactly what we need or utter garbage if you don't ever hear it. Typing that out now, I suppose that's kinda how I feel about myself too. My ideas could be complete trash or they could be the thing that everyone is looking for at that moment (I like to think the latter), but people wouldn't know because they just simply don't listen.

    32:14 i think its not always necessarily just about separation itself, its also about rejection, on both sides.. considering the nature of a 9, the goal is to have both parties be ok with the split, to have the other person confirm your suspicion that the best thing to do is separate.. if not u might think ur making the wrong choice, might be afraid to regret it later..when the other person agrees, and u catch yourself missing them a few days or months later, u wont feel bad for potentially leaving "the love of your life" cuz i wasnt your making alone.. i dont know if it fits the 9 type or if its just me, but i notice theres a huge fear of making wrong choices, and playing with peoples feelings.. u have to think a lot before making a decision, or learn to live with regrets, u cant be calling the person u left months later saying u want them back when they have moved on.. its not fair to "invade" someones life like that and make a mess

I love standing up for the 9 perspective, which I find to be quite enlightened. No one wins in the world of duality, as far as I can see. Without cooperation, empathy , harmony and equality as the foundation on which to stand, there is no lasting stability from which to grow and flourish. Peace!😘

      (5w4 married to a 9 here) FIRST I love 9’s, y’all make the spaces you inhabit so safe for everyone around you. The biggest thing I see with 9s is they accidentally surround themselves with people who take advantage of the 9 desire for peace. You don’t need to find people who are like you, you need to find people who want you to be happy and enjoy life. As an example- my wife wanted to go study abroad in England for a year. I’m sure if I pushed back even the slightest she would have changed her mind, but as someone who wants her to be happy I was as encouraging as a possibly could, even if it meant living on two different continents. As someone married to a 9, it is my responsibility to be on her side no matter what because if she voices an opinion k ow what she’s really doing is exposing a bit of her heart and that needs to be protected because she would do the same for me. What 9’s really deserve in friendships and relationships are people who recognize the 9’s desires and encourage them with no strings attached. IMHO 4s are great friends for 9s because they have such a strong sense of individuality that end up encouraging 9s to be themselves too. (I hope this made some sense ☺️❤️)

      It’s definitely work! I’m a 7 and my boyfriend and best girlfriend are both 9s! 9’s are beautiful people in the way they care for others. (Any many other ways too!) The other side of the coin is when they compromise themselves too much to be compatible. Try to stay as true to yourself as you can and always take that leap of faith that all is well when you hold yourself back from giving yourself up! You’ll speed up the dating process with clarity since you’ll open yourself up to the reality. You’ll end up in a comfortable relationship by being true to yourself ❤️

    No used to be my favorite word. At some point in my life, I decided to say yes to people that I picked as friends. Lately, I have even learned to say no to friends. Nines tend to bury their anger when they are unconscious, which then can become a fermented sort of rage. It can be innapropriate to let that out on people, so learning to fight fair, and measured is needed. I used to be afraid that I would hurt someone, so I would refuse to fight. At some point, I realized that if I can hold myself back completely, I can also make a conscious, measured response, but really, most fights are pointless. Not productive.

    As a 9w1, I can agree with much of what was shared. We can be difficult to reach in the 'right way'.
    I thoroughly enjoy being alone without feeling lonely. It's hard for me to fathom a long term romantic relationship, so I've learned to navigate my needs and be self-sufficient, as much as possible, and be happy. I know I'm a better friend and advisor, than lover, so I'm content in that understanding of myself. It's all good!

    Having spent eighteen bewildering months with a rather unhealthy 9, I can assure you that Dr. L is dropping facts starting at 12:00. I'm a social 3, so it absolutely broke my heart to see the physical manifestations of depression and complacency in my own partner. I used every tool in my arsenal to support him, but they were nominally helpful, to put it mildly. Ultimately, I decided to walk away from the relationship with the hope that he one day finds happiness. It was brutal, though.

    Healthy version of merging in my definition is acknowledging the difference, the polarities of both and merging in that space of peace and harmony that we so deeply craving. It's a meeting in the middle and transcending all that separates us; disagreements, differences ik views cultures, opinions etc.

When I sit in a crowd I loose quickly focus when I see at the corner of the eye the person that has no one to talk to. I cannot enjoy my company until i see that person is seen to. I have to realise that that person has a choice of interacting, its not always my issue to make sure everyone in the room is ok and at peace. I have to start feeling comfortable feeling uncomfortable.

    There's many ways lahue expresses his examples of 9 that are like nails on a chalk board for me.
    On withdrawal, yes i withdraw for ease to experience my feelings and muse on them, in stead of saying something i light regrest. but i would not hold a wall for too long because conflict, and upsetting someone, is torture for me. My experience of being a 9 is that i want to keep peace and good will between everyone. I am likely to reassess my feeling and always seek forgiveness both parties.
    In a recent break up, i put physical distance between us very quickly and we stopped talking completely, this for me was so so hard, to not end in peace, respect and honourance for all the good but to have to feel that conflict unreconciled for months was so painful, that eventually when i felt the time right, i made the phone call to make peace and contact in a new place. time is a healer but forgiveness work is a huge part of my path of peace and acceptance.
    For someone to hold me in a perception of wrong, for someone to not like me, hurts, because i won't do that to others, only long enough to feel myself and understand my part

    As an INTJ 9, I think that a lot of "9 advice" is aimed at all the IxxP 9s that are more frequent examples of the type. Choosing things isn't difficult for me, so much as I have learned to be choosy about a very small number of things, while being flexible on most everything else. Why? The "peacemaking" attitude. As an INTJ, it's very easy for me to accidentally upset people by missing social cues, speaking more forcefully than I intend, and otherwise having some very strong opinions about a very specific set of things. So I'll deliberately tone that part down so I can hear and listen to others.
    I know I'm a 9 because I do tend to agree too easily, mostly likely because I haven't thought things through yet, and I get pushed into it by others as long as the choice that is forced doesn't appear unreasonable. Not that I'm especially "Agreeable", but because I've not settled on an opinion yet. When I have a settled opinion, when I've thought things through, it can be difficult to talk me out of it. The difference between me and the IxxP types that are the predominant examples of 9s, I have very strong opinions that I refuse to voice when I know voicing those opinions will cause more harm than good.
    The net result is that people are often surprised when I respond more forcefully than usual. They get so used to my just going along with them, they can get upset when I say, "No."
    As you might have guessed, I'm 9w8. I'll avoid the fight if I can, but if I have to say, "No," I will. Not that I'm especially evolved: my default is to avoid the fight, and I don't always recognize when the fight is necessary. Especially if it's a fight with someone I love.

      @@Moheroine I know, right? It was the Fauvre Tritype test that helped me settle my self-understanding. I got 9-5-3, with 9 being clearly the strongest. Further investigation via the Riso-Hudson book's levels of integration, using the principle that whichever type had the worst level of integration is your type, 9 again wins out.
      So what is an INTJ 9 like, exactly? Best short description is "Someone with a combination of INTJ problems and 9 problems." Opinionated and off-putting, but tends not to speak up because they don't want to alienate everybody. In general, using strengths to determine type tends to indicate several different types, as being a good person tends to be the same set of characteristics for most people. Using weaknesses is more accurate, in part because we all fail differently, and in part because we don't tend to agree that we have weaknesses we don't have (as opposed to the tendency to claim strengths we don't have).
