How to Get Along with Me
Stand up for yourself... and me. Be confident, strong, and direct. Don't gossip about me or betray my trust. Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender,
vulnerable side. Give me space to be alone. Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me. I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's
a personal attack. When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just
the way I am. What I Like About Being a EIGHT
being independent and self-reliant being able to take charge and meet challenges head on being courageous, straightforward, and honest getting all the enjoyment I can out of life supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me upholding just causes What's Hard About Being a EIGHT
overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to being restless and impatient with others' incompetence sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
never forgetting injuries or injustices putting too much pressure on myself getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when
things don't go right EIGHTs as Children Often

are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted are sometimes overprotective can be demanding, controlling, and rigid
