Downtown Auburn for the Enneagram Five

Downtown Auburn for the Enneagram Five

Ok, so I am about to head into some unknown territory for me. The Enneagram 5 is probably the total opposite of the type 2 in me. As a two, I love people and talking to people and I want them to share anything and everything with me. After learning more about the 5, that is exactly what they avoid. Hey, that’s totally ok, too. I get it. A Five is more reserved. They are not going to share information with you and would much rather keep to themselves. They tend to avoid crowds and do not want to be seen(like our type 3 friends). They are also very habitual about their day to day routine.

Retail for a 5: Elisabet Boutique - it’s one of the smaller boutiques in downtown which means it is not very crowded, but most importantly they have a HUGE online boutique boutique where you can shop their latest arrivals on an app(or their Facebook page) on your phone from the comfort of your couch. You can opt to pick up your order in store or have it shipped to you.

Restaurant for a 5: Five Guys Burgers and Fries - I can see where a recognizable name would be appreciated by a 5. Since 5’s are habitual in nature, this could offer a since of comfort to dine at an establishment that they may have already dined at in the past in a different location. A 5 may not want to sit down and dine, so grabbing this grub to go is an easy one and will still taste great! Our Five Guys is still owned by a local business owner, so you still get to support local.

Bonus for a 5: Ariccia at the Hotel at Auburn University - Ok, hear me out! Fives probably aren’t going to gravitate towards a crowded restaurant. They also may want to dine alone and sip some wine while reading a good book. Ariccia is the perfect spot for this. Another bonus, you may not run into someone you know and be forced to make conversation but you are likely to meet someone new and that could be a good thing for a 5!
