There are several different personality types. Some people are
outgoing and loud; others are reticent and quiet. Some people are doers; others
are thinkers. Some people are warm and open and love big groups; others prefer
talking to people one-on-one.
Personality conflicts are inevitable, even in churches and families.
You will not “click” with everyone in your life. But that’s okay. It is normal
to not “connect” with everyone but you can still be kind to them. Accept that God
has blessed us with a variety of personalities to make the world an interesting
place.
You might find it helpful to study the major personality types. That
way, when someone grates against you and it is nothing more than a personality
difference, you can prevent a conflict by not making a mountain out of a
molehill.
