Well. Now that I know more about how to see soc in some people I like rather than just the annoying side, I guess thats opportunities to "practice" it. I wouldnt wanna start stressing about what people think but tbh I do have a pattern of drifting apart with/failing to keep in touch even with people I really enjoy (its all the ones I didnt dump but fondly remember), & having more motivation for vocation/meaningful impact would be great. Well actually applying this will be harder but one does try

The abdominal breathing thing rly blew my mind ive heard of it before but it was badly explained, missing the key detail that the chest breathing is a stress symptom and comes from accumulated stress. From that perspective it seems like defragging your hard drive or cleaning your registry, but for the "computer" in your spine and head! Ill be sure to try that. My one small nitpick is that I would have liked a glossary with definitions of the terms, the word "individuation" is doing a lot of work

It was an excellent book. Loads of novel, fine granular insight, but it was all logically explained from the ground up. Worlds away from often arbitrary seeming subtype descriptions. I revised my typings of some family members (chiefly, i got an idea of what well adjusted non-annoying social types look like) and of course it wouldnt be an enneagram book without the usual "guilty as charged" self-cringe. I really do blow my cash on random interesting objects & should probably swipe the floor.
