Very powerful. I recently attended a workshop on the shadow and the Enneagram, which was quite enlightening. We did a lot of work to understand the connections between the shadow self and the self we present to the world. Often, it turns out, the things that bother us most in others are the things we repress in ourselves.

Agreed.
In addition, sometimes whatever annoys you the most about those closest to you, often are the same faults you see within yourself, manifested differently through your own behavior and actions (or in this case, inaction).
Looking forward to reading your posts about Enneagrams (a new word in my world 😀).
