enneagram is weird for me because it's the One personality typing framework that was legitimately helpful, in the sense that it led to me gaining actual actionable insights about myself that led to me making actual positive change in my life, but Every Typology Community Sucks Ass and enneagram is no exception on that front
like, spin the wheel! you get:
- people ragging on A Specific Types and putting other A Specific Types on pedestals
- weird shady religious shit, esp Christians and New Agers trying to sell you things you don't need
- people going "I'm [type], therefore I am doomed to be depressed and alone forever--" no, go see a therapist
- people looking for other people of A Specific Types to date, or asking "I'm [type] and my Love Interest is [other type], are we destined to be together or are we doomed to fail"
- people trying to guess the types of various persons in ways that are super fuckin insulting to those types, like "oh, they're a [drama queen/a flake/a literal goddamn Nazi], therefore they're [type]! because we all know that [type] tends to be [drama queens/flakes/literal goddamn Nazis]"
