Likewise they become more their dual-seeking type around people who ignore it, specifically people who express your role function. So an Ne base becomes most Si-like around Se doms, Si becomes most Ne-like around Ni doms, Ni becomes most Se-like around Si doms, etc.

That being said there are certainly some behaviors that overlap when you put an Ne ego and an Si ego together, one will start to imitate the behaviors of the other. But these will usually manifest most strongly when the other is holding back, in a sense.
I'm failing to see how person A becomes more like their dual just because person B, who is dominant for person's A role function, is ignoring person A's dominant function while person B interacts with person A.

I see what you're saying, that if Si is being provided, that Ne dom has no need to develop Si on their own, that they are free to utilize Ne to their full potential. While this may be the point of socionics, I find this inherently unhealthy and one-sided. Ne users should learn to do Si things for themselves so other people don't have to be their little bitch. This should be good for the Ne dom in the long run. This is what I mean by balance and taming. Maybe its the democratic nature of alpha.
