ESFP×ESFP

Half a sentence, and it gets through. Someone who goes after the same things with the same charm. But one house cannot hold two emperors.

No explanation needed

Drawn to the other's charm and their power to reach goals. While one has the informational advantage, it runs as mentor and pupil.

In terms of the mechanism, the "force that pushes and takes" in ESFP's first position and the "ethics that reads distance between people" in the second sit in exactly the same positions in the other. The view you are best at, the other is best at too. So no explanation is needed, and so no new perspective comes from the other either. The strong places overlap, and do not double.

In the old observations, in identity the same elements of both act in the same positions, and a complete, painless repulsion arises. Since no words are needed, there is also nothing the other can hand you. For these two, foresight and the power to reason are absent on both sides.

The observation says the relationship grows tense as knowledge becomes equal. Both constantly want praise, attention and recognition of results, and neither listens: each hears only their own voice.

Two emperors in one house.

Expanding spheres of influence against each other

Each asserts superiority, disputes the other's success, and tries to expand their sphere of influence. With the same weak points, neither can offer support or warning. Deception is patched over with ethical manoeuvring and small diplomatic tricks.

The empty places are the same too. The "intuition that calculates ahead" ESFP wants most is what the other wants most, and neither has it. The "practical logic", which each produces with a little effort, takes a little effort from both. What flows in silently between duals never flowed between these two in the first place.

There is a form that lasts. Three singers of the same type who succeeded with separate styles, audiences and spheres of influence. With separate friends, interests and social circles, it functions.

Up close it is unstable. Retreating to a neutral distance, only practical, friendly contact remains. Surface courtesy, and hidden infidelity.

For these two

How to meet ── Deep inside the same hobby

A relation needing no explanation. Specialist gatherings, fans of the same author, the same sport. The person it got through to at once: that is the one.

Approach ── Connect through what is interesting

The bond between these two is interest alone. Interesting talk over talk of daily life. It ends when the interest ends, so keep the interest alive.

A date ── The same thing, side by side

A day of doing the same hobby side by side. The care of daily life comes from neither, so eat out.

Gifts ── same type; for both, A plan read ahead

A plan for an anniversary, a promise a year ahead. The future ESFP does not calculate alone. What you would be glad to receive is exactly right for the other. But you easily give each other the same thing on the same day, so hand it over first, or shift it a little.
