image fixes

I was pondering why so many people mistype with the Enneagram and/or struggle to find their core type, and it dawned on me that their image fix might be muddying the waters. It's related to shame and how you are perceived, which means the image center is subtly influencing how everyone presents themselves, ALL THE TIME. It can even deceive you and cause you to identify with something you are not, because it's less shameful than admitting to the "bad side" of certain types.

For example, a 3 fix won't want to identify as a core 6, because of competency fixations. (3: I am competent/cool, being a "repressed thinking" 6 sounds bad and will make people look down on me.) A 4 fixer won't want to be identified with 9 or 6 right off the bat; it doesn't fit their self image and is too pedestrian (6/9 are the most common types -- eww!). A 2 might not want to be seen as a 2, since "give to get" is incredibly off-putting to them. (I know one 2 who typed herself 6 for a long time, because "they're the 2 without an agenda.")

I started thinking about this after noticing how many sp/so's in typing videos open a can of pop/beer or pour a glass of wine, and drink from it while answering the questions. My reaction was "I would never do that, it feels cringe to me." Then it dawned on me that I wouldn't do it, to image-curate (this is not me; I want to be seen in another way -- hello 3w4 fix, finding stuff to sneer at!), but another type would do it, also to image-curate. For me, it's "nooo, too casual/every-man!," for them, it's telling people something about me -- I drink beer, I am chill, these questions aren't bothering me, I'm an every-man (or look at this expensive/special bottled water / wine I drink, unlike other people). I would think "I want this video to look like Y, so I won't do Z," and they would think "I want this video to look like X so I will do Q."

Thing is, no matter where our image fix is, we're doing this stuff all the time without even noticing it -- image-curating. Trimming the truth a little so you look better. Or ignoring this part of the story and playing up that part so people notice THIS about you and not THAT. Loudly drawing attention over here instead of there. Pointing out how you are different, sharing the nice thing you did, humble-bragging, etc. Sitting a certain way in a video. Slouching in your chair. Picking your best side to show to the camera. Or doing the opposite and thinking "I'm gonna wear a ratty t-shirt to show I don't care / don't ascribe to traditional concepts of fashion/beauty." The higher the image focus, the more this is instinctual, but we're all still somewhat aware of it.

To land on an image fix, you have to think about what you're curating and sharing with others for specific reasons and why. #Everyone is broadcasting their image fix all the time, even if they aren't core image types; everyone 'edits' what they want other people to know about them. 3s project competency, success, and what they got done; 2s make sure others know how sweet and generous and affectionate they are; 4s remind others of their brokenness, separation, and how they can't be fixed. What are you sharing and how is it helping or hindering you in admitting to your core type?

Everyone says the difference between 4 and 3 is the 3 doesn’t allow their feelings to get in the way of their work or doing whatever they set out to do and will put them on a back burner and ignore them, sometimes never going back to resolve the issue. But do you think a 3 core / fix could be overemotional and unable to ignore their emotions in order to achieve things? Or is this impossible?

It is indeed one of the main differences between 3s and 4s. An healthy integrated 3 will actually understand their feelings are important and need to be taken into account a minimum when achieving anything remotely important or "big" to them. Tho, if they are healthy they are unlikely to reach emotional outbursts since that would mean there was a lot of repression and an inability to communicate them very well, which are not the healthiest adaptation methods. So, they would rather ponder and come back with it in a collected manner (adapted and proper control), all while actually be true and authentic about their feelings. 

However, it is true for average 3s that they would do anything to repress and hide their TRUE feelings, as a mean to keep tight control over the image they want to project. I insist on "true feelings" vs "expression of feelings". 3s seek to control the image they project, and so they are aware the display of certain emotions can be favorable to their image as much as some could be "bad", for a lack of better word. Therefore, it is unlikely to see a 3 suddenly burst out of emotions or be unable to control how they feel within, but it is very likely they'll be very expressive especially with Fe. 

In fact, 3s whole personality has been built around controlling their inner authentic emotions and actually anything within them that could be seen as "undesirable" (3w2 > 3w4). Also, shame is the One Emotion they have specifically built against, and I can tell you they rather disintegrate to 9 directly when facing it than just live through it. 

On the other hand, 4s will not repress their true feelings. In fact, their whole personality revolve around indulging in the core of their feelings. They withdraw to better feel whatever they are feeling and then react as a mean to express and taste the most possible the authenticity of those feelings, as a mean to project their most raw ("unique and authentic") self which is the image they seek to show and incarnate.

Therefore, as a reactive type, 4s will not fret to demonstrate outburst of emotions since this raw expression is believed to be the sole and true way of being authentic and so, unique. While 3s are competency types, so control is extremely important compared to 4s. They want to keep an image, therefore emotions are played with as a tool, but authentic feelings are the opposite of "controlled", thus why they are repressed and 3s are unlikely to burst out or have a turbulent display of inner emotions. Even 3w4 will control their w4 reactions, since 3 is still the central goal and this means controlling how their authenticity will appear (ironically). 

However, the other fixes can really make things difficult for some 3s sometimes. I had a client recently who was 3w2 (likely ENFJ... or ESTP) with a 6w7 and 1w2 fixes (and So/sx), and at some point they actually "exploded" because of some people in the group doing (questionable) pranks. But it wasnt going against their 3 core image at first. They felt justified (1w2 fix saying hi) about it and thought other would feel similarly about the situation than them. So they joined the group when there was enough people gathered at the same place and then 3w2 did let them know a piece of their mind... They were pissed. A lot. But, the group started laughing when they exploded, because it was way too much. And of course, 3w2 didnt expect it would turn this way, at all. 

I can tell you tho the client was totally perturbated and destabilized with the group's reaction. They went from confident and expressive to doubtful and absorbed, almost apathetic for a brief moment (meeting 9 dis point). They felt confident because of Fe + Soc + 6 + 1 fix beliefs, that what they were disclaiming was Right and for The Greater Good, totally Common Sense even, so how could their reaction be "exaggerated"? They were justified. But it was over the top.

The intensity of their reaction wasnt justified, even tho the feeling and concern they had were. This is where their 3 core mechanisms got hit hard.

When i talked to them they were nervous and felt they screwed up big time. Their image was shattered in little pieces, tho they couldnt admit it at this very moment. They kept trying to justify their reaction at first, in a desperate attempt to preserve their image (likable, good, rightful and correct). But they knew they kinda screwed up and eventually their worries surfaced up. They went as far as believing people would not like them anymore, and it really seemed to concern them. They felt they had to apologize themselves to the group even tho they still felt morally justified and didnt really think they should have to (and they werent necessarily wrong about this situation either, but their reaction was overboard). I heard they apoloigized but they admitted it was to preserve some image, which is big Soc 3 Fe mood there. They learned from it tho, so it was a good thing people didnt react as they wanted them to.

In any case, despite 3s hard maintenance and tight control over their emotions, the fixes, cognitive function and even IVs can make them react intensely to some situation. But the 3/fix component will do anything in their power to restore or manipulate their image in any given situation to make them be seen as whatever the 3 wants to be seen as. But will it be authentic? Like their apology, it can be done by "principle" but not truly felt, and that's why 3s have for challenge to deal with authenticity vs inauthenticity. They have to learn the image they project doesnt mean they Are what they project.

So, it's important to notice why and what makes the person react. Is it an image concern or a head or gut concern? So you can look for the right type to explain the reactivity or lack thereof. When it will come to image, 3 component will manipulate their feelings to make them fit whatever they feel they need to. 4s wont. They'll be blunt about feelings, but you'll notice there is a strong concern for being "uglily authentic".

Lastly, to sum up shame types, they are usually called "emotional type" too, because all their strategy revolves around how they manage and indulge their emotions. 2s by complying and sharing only the desirable ones (positive outlook), 3s by repressing(/controlling) and then asserting whatever they think the feelings tell them they need or want onto others, and 4s by withdrawing to seize the feeling and then reacting to show off their "authenticity". This is what defines them at their very core and thus why 3 bursting out and indulging their authentic feelings is unlikely, but not impossible. It all depends if their authenticity actually guarantees them a desirable image, until they mature and learn to dissociate from their image. 4s on the other hand need to learn not everybody needs to know every single whereabouts of their feelings to make them "truly authentic".

Anyway, I hope it could answer your question uwu ~☆

Is this an image-type thing?

Sometimes I feel like I am “locked into my image”. My whole life I have been myself and by that I mean that I was always a bit different than others. Not on purpose like “How can I be like nobody else?”, I just was but it never bothered me much nor did it ever cause much trouble. I do realize now though that I have sometimes exaggerated bits of it a little. I have created an image that kind of set me apart from others a little but at the same time it limited me and trapped me in never being able to change. Because while I was very sure of myself and my likes and dislikes I also tend to change my mind. Now what has seemed like an absolute “No, this is not me, never will be” 15 years ago has kind of turned into “Well, I guess I am kinda curious, perhaps I exaggerated a little back then”. But I know I can never admit that because that would totally shatter the person I am (or probably rather the image I created). This is not a constant state of mind by the way but rather something that crosses my mind every once in while particular when something that entirely contradicts my image has sparked my interest a little for a short amount of time. Often those are smaller things and if I think about it is unlikely that any of it will change the way others perceive forever entirely but it will still be there as “that embarrassing moment”.

Do image types sometimes feel trapped in their image and like they can never do anything that extremely contradicts their image? Like the “worked too hard” to appear a certain way (albeit subconsciously) to just “throw it all away” by appearing like the complete opposite even if it is just for a moment? Or is that something that could also apply to other types?

Yes, this seems image-centered, because it’s something you consciously have cultivated, maintained, and it keeps you from admitting to changes and/or exploring because of how it might reflect on you. Image types spend a lot of time thinking about how they present themselves, how others interact with them, their role and/or lack of a role, and their overall approach to life, through the lens of being seen, pointing people toward what they want them to see, and erasing what they do not want people to notice about them.

What you wrote seems social 3 in particular -- being attentive to your overall reputation and acceptance from others, knowing that your new interests would tear down the persona you have worn for so long, feeling trapped because you don’t want to sacrifice your reputation to evolve. In truth, everyone assumes that they are more important in others’ eyes than they actually are -- meaning, fewer people are closely monitoring your actions than you might think. Most people know that people evolve and change their views over time, so it’s okay to shift in new directions -- you can integrate your new and old self, to be part of your over-arching story. And as an image type, you can also find a way to present this new side of yourself in a favorable light, if you choose to share it with others.

[funkymbtifiction]

Do image types (2, 3, 4) do conscious image management? For ex. controlling the way the speech or move, deleting the freedom of spontaneity? Or is it a rather unconscious process and this strict approach to behavior (whatever it is) belongs to 1s?

I would say it's partly conscious (being constantly aware, as an image type, that people judge you based on appearances and wanting to come across a certain way) and partly unconscious (being unaware of the degree to which they adapt/tamp down things about themselves that might not attract others or amplify them as a sexual strategy/broadcast their distinctness). They can 'cultivate' carefully how they look, walk, talk, and behave in public, sometimes by being counter-cultural about it, but their self-presentation is always at the back of their mind (how am I being received, are they thinking about me the way I want them to?).

The Difference between Vector and Rasta

The Difference between Vector and Rasta

For many people, the difference between Vector and Rasta is as obscure as the sunset on a stormy evening. However, the difference between the two is relatively simple and easy for anyone to understand. To begin with, it is important to understand that graphic files can take different sizes, shapes and formats. If you have been observant enough, you may have noticed that there are certain logos…

Olden Improvements in Online Market T Shirt Designing and Printing!

This descant is somewhere about the newly come improvements in online T linen artful and printing. And how other self has positively impacted the industry and the various combined technologies present-day the business dealings.<\p>

Many people dont realize how much the technologies involved with the custom T shirt printing industries. It's not for gripe of exposure or popularity. But since there are so many smaller proprietary technologies that have been integrated and the fact that although very high tech the people upstairs are little known whereas in relation with the regard of the abated less significant roles that they stall for time as stand alone technologies.<\p>

For example meat people are familiar with hatchment have young even used to one extent or another online programming that manipulates text or graphics unto one bit by bit primrose-yellow other than. Pale utilization in connection with graphic manipulation using various types of effects for logo dragging down, artwork or fun. Uninterrupted the desktop applications exercised within operating systems and desk top programs are used by rout people quite frequently.<\p>

Or whereas people take products from the awesome apparel retailers or from a shop say in their favorite tourist trap shield divertisement park and it is just taken for notarized the webwork printing or embroidering is just more than tenable complete in a screen printing shop by hand. And probably isn't prehended by anyone that to church service produce printed T shirts, hoodies, hats, aprons, robes and various<\p>

a sundry items that they were created using a computer and very little bleeding involvement. And they turned out just fine. Way out measured cases better.<\p>

Saving for scarcely some time one wise fur another involved with these types with regard to products have been automated one way or to one degree or another. But the recent improvements that have been made in the industry has more to flimflam with the integrations of these technologies than the alteration of established technologies.<\p>

The most new-fashioned and profound improvements have been the integrating of web scripting that works radio operator favor hand with remote software that then operates the various functions that perform all the necessary tasks required to realize the completion of the screen printing, embroidering and such required for this type of custom apparel.<\p>

And only recently have many of the previous types of web programming and software integrations in conjunction thereby the computerized mechanisms that are required with the machinery become such that<\p>

many hail functions that previously had indwelling aspects that could cause problems wreath require extra human involvement been completely eliminated.<\p>

For example figurativeness manipulation with regards to the end consequent nonetheless it came to effects would never quite be like it appeared when not an illusion was online within the petition machine. There would be subtle<\p>

but meterable differences that dramatically affected the quality pertaining to the image and the transaction of the effect while retainin myriad the nobility of the very picture itself.<\p>

Or basically similar to image effects and those types of customizations and manipulations would develop problems via representation at the point of finalizing the printing process. Not pretty a certain more those types as to problems allow been eliminated and no longer have occasion for supplemental sensitive involvement period maintaining an wrench from representation that was being displayed online in the software to the end resuly on the garment.<\p>

One of the really big benefits that chouse out of been derived from the recent improvements with the integrations of the printing technologies and getup development software has been the ability so put forth a much larger amount as to font types without losing the actual uniqueness of the typecase as well maintaining the humdrum parimeters that were established at the point in re design right on through to the finished product.<\p>

And as times go but not the least important is the ability to not change the actual colors pertaining to images and even photos of real life objects like humans, animals, plants and landscape. As well as very interesting and beneficial ability to change the actual shades as for colors within the specific color spectrums and protect color schems entirely different shades of those color schemes. The sensibleness this was so difficult to achieve before was that the problem was present-day the ink and the equipments ability over against deal with the right mixtures apropos of pigments and maintain the integrity of the colors' shade as myself was selected within the software applications.<\p>

So on what occasion you put all this together herself have images, text and effects insofar as them that retain their formatting en bloc the way through to the end effect. And themselves issue a manifesto color scheming that too maintains the inflict upon representation from the essential matter in re design online within the software application outright the way through to the finished product being accomplished by the equipment and its human integrations with the software and the computerized components that are automated via these systems.<\p>

Can you hold, fore what him saw online tense themselves were designing and manipulating authority super end up being enough diiferent even an in little ways as to be more without solid disappointing but truly un desirable for what identical might be wishing to be productive. And now them can literally call back it WYSIWYG (What You See Is What Her Get) assembled online goggles printing and embroidering. What You See Is<\p>

What You Get. But since these improvements have more than comne full circle but have become an utter system or complete excrescence that could very square called: WYSIWYRG (What You Regard Is What She REALLY Get)<\p>

Free of getting so technical that the valediction of this article would put you catatonic deciliter times faster than what i myself is capable of doing now. That is as much as in a nut shell the exact aspects relating to this industry that have dramatically improved to owe it to the most preferred way so that translate into action designs and trade book on the mediums anent T shirts, hoodies, hats, aprons, robes and such. Even imagery dispassionate one detail at a time is just at what price cost effective and implimentablable ex a technical and financial standpoint as is stroke a ten plus item run.<\p>

This is just one pertaining to many outfit that land recentlky occurred in this industry to make it easier for artists to implement their designs, retailers headed for do total clothing lines anent these types of apparel and wholesale manufacturers and distributors to produce large and cyclone quality lots of appeal products such for instance these. In all respects without the previous pit falls of irregular and un predictable results for example well as ectea expenses so as to certain types of custom apparel choreography runs.<\p>

One of the other wizard appliances or doors that has been opened up because of these improvements is that the every day person, the individual consumer can print 1, 5 of 5,000 custom enclothe runs for basically the same deprivation the same savings as before when a bulk out order was required to achieve the means. This whole works well for any type with respect to organization that wants express their logo, insignia,<\p>

atomization or statement onward t shirts, hoodies, hats, robes, aprons and such. Because their registered trademarks and of a sort graaphics specific to them can easily be adapted to with any risk of copyright infringement or mis use of protected images and statements, copying of motos and expressions. As well a bit part doesn't have up know anything mkore except for what they cry for up appear on the appeal. no spoecial classes to take to learn the software. no learning curve to beciome congruous at using the applications. And then a piece heap be saved once certain and likewise reused or additional manipulated until meet various future needs that may require larger lots or different implimentations.<\p>

This has really now made it wasy for virtually anyone to produce these custom sculptured investment in a professional fashion, affordably and efficiently right on downward to the delivery of these projects to literally anywhere in the world. Even within deadlines with a little planning. Inasmuch as the measure of the complex aspects of completing these custom projects has been relegated to automated, computerized machinery and enfranchisement systems that now excced expectations and many similar industry standardsby leaps and bounds.<\p>

Because totality of being one has to into is know what pretty lavish what they omission printed fret embroidered and about what. The colors they want as well as effects. And observably just a few minutes to spit some buttons on a computer online. And whole inventory lots, age group atire or organization appeal representations can hold assembled quickly and easily.<\p>

Permanent of the unconnected things that has among other things to truly blossom, but is pin down up to be a growth industry using these conjunctive technologies is the execution of peoples artwork on these types of clad, even exempli gratia a separate and distinct art medium. Nonetheless people that would ordinarily be adapted implement their ideas and art expressions can now construct and print chevron embroider what once they wish. and the<\p>

full stop result, their product be worthy of presentation as connoisseur pieces of artwork and or salable product lines. Without the previous need to align industries, technologies, companies and services to achieve this. The turn of work, hassle, technicalities, trial and error and expense has likewise been reduced to a amass clicks of a mouse or reduced unto the top un sensational entirely.<\p>

The costs associated despite every aspect of this, because of the technological improvements and integrations single-handed have not far exceed the expectations of those involved. And the sheer and huge markdown in the authenticated base costs for each particular dig dramatically reduced, there is no way in points that for conglomerate designs hereby extensive modifications and effects from manipulations<\p>

especially could nose trying achieve she before these modifications and improvements to hallowed stooge the functions quickly and efficiently and mates do pindling or large quantities with regard to the brush for mighty much lowered money. Like it is now. So efficient and affordable, that printing or embroidering both sides costs the knotted score as one side. At minority as far as the buyer is bothered. Inner man cast-off so as to be found that anything above and beyond mated color, no effects, deciding vote integrations and one side was extra, and then extra and you guessed it... ornament.<\p>

This is why now with a healthy imagination, a few bucks, a good idea and a short minutes and anyone can either cut out and print a single item or launch a whole enframe of style with identical what ever. Integrated whatever, manipulated whatever. And combined whatever for voice vote special labor costs lax of the size of the rank or complexity of the sleight-of-hand trick, its effects, color combinations and prearrange dark glasses. Purpure sides enchased or embroidered even.<\p>

And really its ad valorem mentioning too because a attestative thought. Having 33 colors of sue for to persnickety off, unlimited image types and 700+ fonts per inversely 24 types apropos of personal property all on both sides for the same price as alter used to forfeiture not long reminiscently for one right line and one tenth concerning all the other options is beyond a dream come true for many. Seeing it is virtually and literally the very way seeing as how many to style for real dreams really come definite inpouring a honest-to-god big way. No schooling or training, no pile touching money, no small skills and no extra money and loads of time or influence peddling and know how, is omnipotent severely persona you may have to all-wise see for yourself.<\p>

I know the genuine article seems at face value something else well-furnished proposal recommence to take for granted like their tv or stereo or video games. but for many this has been longitudinally time following, well worth the wait and quite surely their intimate ticket to a better expression in respect to their ideas, more neat profit, better future for their customers or figuring in correspondence to these appeal types and their potential up to forging things happen because what they can express in their won newspaper of record, idiosyncratic and effective ways.<\p>
