My dual use to do the following: he activated me, help me look outside the box, show me how the connections between people worked, comfort me in perfect timing. But on the other hand, he would also completely bewilder me briefly but never permanently, or mind blow me with his overuse of Ne which is very hard for a Si at times, who is maybe hungry or cold, or tired.
Duals are not the fairy-tale relationships Socionics make it out to be, and I would hope that people are not just waiting around for duals to experience a relationship. I believe that all relationships serve it’s purpose in life and the timings of these relationships are also very important. Growth is important.
Me and my sister are Conflicting relations, but yet at different points in our lives I have felt the benefits of our interactions. She has been a ‘guidance counsellor’ at times when I have needed it at most. The only problem is that the help provided does not usual sit right on me, so I will naturally tweak the help which let’s say is in the form of an advise and will always for some reason unknown to me, do the opposite to this advice. Strange no? It is by far not a terrible relationship. Confusing at times, sure, but we both want the best for each other.
With regards to timing, I have found that the dual relationships only work well if they are within each others vicinity. What I mean by this is that they work better side by side, not apart. I have never had a dual relation that worked when I moved the country, or when I moved jobs. Mirror partners and Semi-Duals seem to work much much better with distance, but with your dual it looks like the times you lose reception on your phone - you know its gone, but it will come back on, in the right place and time.
