Source: Take Care of Your Type

Type 9s are actually very active within their friend groups and inner circles. They love hanging out with their close friends, and could even do so for hours on end. Similar to Type 8s, though, Peacemakers have a hard time participating in mutually vulnerable conversations. A Peacemaker may be a part of your friend group for years, but when you really think about how well you know them or how they’re doing, you might find yourself realizing you don’t actually know much about them at all. Type 9s are uncomfortable sharing their personal life with others, even with those closest to them, because they don’t find it necessary. They figure you’re interested in other things, and they would never want to bore you or burden you with their feelings or problems. But, Peacemakers, your pain, your story, your quirks—all of it—matters. Your friends love you not just because you are there for them but because you’re you! True friends genuinely care about you and want to know who you are on the inside. They want to know the heavy and the light. So take some time to analyze whether you’re actually present in your friendships. Do you only hang out, laugh, and have fun? Or do you discuss, confide, reach out, and dig deep as well?
