Activation Relations
Relationships of a mutual Social Benefit. Activating one another by making a request and receiving a request in return, as if shaking each other up. Mutual ignition and encouraging each other's activity.
Alignment of positions through overcoming obstacles, accompanied by switching each other into inconvenient modes of action — you're made to do what you don't want to do, but for the sake of a common goal, you will do it.
In these relationships, the activator influences your activation function and triggers your most resourceful base function of the psyche, which holds a large energy reserve. Your energy in such relationships keeps growing, however, constant pressure on the activation function can quickly deplete that energy and resource reserve, leading to fatigue. These are the most energetic relationships in socionics, they lead to quick results and make you constantly charge forward at full speed, but the downside is exhaustion.
Activation relationships are good for socializing in your spare time, but not good for everyday life.
Purpose: Active recreation
Integral Type: Enthusiast (ESE / +Fe)
Characteristics: Excess energy, external activity
Positive aspects: There is support, a feeling of being needed, help with creative blocks (functions one would like to express), mutual care, sincere trust, joy.
Negative aspects: A tendency to be intrusive (initially there is a high—an intense euphoria; at close distance—feelings of comfort/relaxation), a sense of boundary crossing (due to the Rational–Irrational difference: the Rational type needs a sequential development of events, the Irrational does not). It's hard to reach agreements, and interaction may happen at the wrong time. There's no sense of timely "switching on."
Recommendation: A break is needed, spend some time apart, maintain distance.
