Enneagram chat: I& #39;m a 5. It is not uncommon for me to hear things from people that tell me they think I& #39;m withholding information/knowledge. (Like, that I have more to say about a project/topic.) I know this is a 5 thing.

I rarely have a clue what they want from me though.

1/
I try to get them to ask me more specific questions. But they often just want me to apply my knowledge/info to the issue and tell them what I think. I try to do that, but they seem to want something more/different. Like are they expecting me to solve it?

2/
(Sometimes I could solve it but it& #39;s not my job and then I don& #39;t know to simplify my response so as to not invest all the time it would take to solve into instead sharing my knowledge. So I& #39;m left with the burden of solving the problem that& #39;s not my job or saying nothing.)

3/
Typically I have no idea how to solve it and I& #39;m left scratching my head when they keep wanting to know more of what I think.

WHAT DO THEY WANT???
