What do you do when you have to face someone different from your character?

Yeah, it's a tough thing to deal with someone different from your character. I believe everyone behaves according to his or her particular disposition. For example, an inward person may not like to be active or talkative, but rather, he or she prefers to stay alone. If you happen to be an optimistic person, and you meet someone who is pessimistic, then you can't talk to him or her like you usually do to someone optimistic. If you did, you may offense him or her. But I think now that we all live in the society, we'll have to cope with different problems. After all, we have to live harmoniously with others. So we should try to give full understanding to others' character and behave accordingly.

I have worked in many different places and there is always people who are very different than I am....it's life. We are all different and it is not realistic to even consider that we will find a workplace where everyone is like us....pretty unlikely. I actually enjoy the differences. Still, even if there is someone that I don't really like, I can easily ignore it. I am not there to socialize.....I am there to do my job. If they are not doing the job right...not my problem...that is the boss's problem. I don't feel any great need to let someone that I work with know that I don't like them so I don't run into problems like this. Like you said...we don't have to be best of buds.

It's common that we have to get along with someone different from our character. If we respect to each other,it is help to improve the relatioship. And throught get along with people with different character, we can benefit a lot.

hi omiami...everybody is a different individual. God made us different from one another so we just have to accept and deal with them. there may be times that it's very annoying when there's someone who acts like we really don't like and we tend to criticize him/her but it's his/her character so we can't do something about it...just go with ride...and just think that there must also be someone thinks of the same way we think of them (without us knowing)...

I just try to stay on my own. Also it depends a lot from the other person that is different from me. Only because he/she has different point of views from mine, it doesn't matter that it is a evil person. I think from differency we can learn a lot, and everyone's ideals should be respected.

I respect him beceause he is a person and if you would't recpect people the would't respect you

hi, We meet lot of people who are different from us daily in our life but what before taking any step it is important to know the role of that person. If he does not have importance in taking final decisions in office matter then just dont care about him but smile and talk to him casually.But when his role is important in taking decisions you have to tolerate him and move close with him.

Well, omiami, it's really hard sometimes.But for me I always accept them. As you said, I won't make good friends with them, in fact, even if I'd like to, they may also won't. Who knows? Becoz it's a little hard. But yes, I will co-operate with them smoothly. You know, if we just do something related with job, it will be easier to work together. In another side, if I have chance, I will try to break the ice to make good friends with them. People always has several friends whose character is really different from yourself.

There's always a chance that you'll encounter people of different character in the office. It's how you adjust to them that matters. I believe people of different attitude can still work together to achieve the same goal as long as each do his job i don't think there will be a problem. Cheers!

If I have met such a situation someday, in my opinion, understanding is the first factor when treating people who are different from my character. As you have mentioned above, I will tolerate the person and act as if its nothing. It is unnecessary completely for one to lose patience to someone who have different character with you. If I have some chances, maybe I can try to communicate with him/her and get familiar with him/her. I think I can make a good friend with him/her through my efforts. Yes, to be friends with them is a better choice instead of getting angry with him/her.

it is good to speak directly .at the most time i usually keep silence and if i can not stand him i will speak out and it is good for both of us.

hello ~my friend. yes ,it's very commen we have come across those whose charactor is different from ours . it's avoidless , i think understand is very important , as long as you've done that , i think he\her would see that and treat you in the same way ~!! good luck to you and have a nice day !

As we go through life,we are bound to meet many people whose character is different from our own.If it is someone who you have to see regularly as in work for example, I think the best way is to do as you say and try to get along. After all, it would be a boring old world if we were all the same, wouldn't it.

Oh, I go to my regular full time job everyday and meet the same people nearly everyday. Yes, there are times where you meet bad people and yes there are good people but in my experience I haven't got to meet anyone that I have not gotten along with. I just get along with most people, but the people who really gets on my nerves are the ones to take advantage of you. So I don't even talk to those type of people.

I think respect is really necessary. If I meet someone who is totally different from me, especially in personality and in beliefs, I have to respect him and her as a person so that clashes can be avoided. I do not have to change him or her, unless he is open to change of course. Cheers!
