People with different personalities and interest cannot be friends with each other. | |
|
It is often said that people with different personalities and interest will have a hard time to get along with each other. This is because they are likely to face conflict between them, thus ruining the relationship. Even though the differences might hinder from building a close relationship, it has also various benefits which can beat the drawbacks for the following two reasons: sharing different experiences and improve their social skill.
To begin with, people with different dispositions and favor can share their experience, which will be beneficial for them. Some people can say that sharing common interest between friends would be good, because it makes them comfort and ease. However, when people only exchange similar and familiar interests to others, they are likely to get boring, depriving the opportunities to obtain a variety of information or experiences by not making friends who have different interests. For example, when I was in high school, I had a friend who had a same pastime and hobby. We both enjoyed watching Japanese animation and admired same singer and actor. So we always went together anywhere and spent most of our time talking about these common things. However, with so many repetitions, we got tired of taking about same topic every day, thus the time to chat with her had gradually diminished and drifted apart from each other.
In addition, we can improve social skills by meeting diverse people, which is the key to success. If we just get along with people who have a commonalities prevent us from dealing with conflicts between different people, and this conflict manage skill is essential for people in the modern complex society. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Education of Korea in 2008 said that the more experiences in multicultural circumstances a student has, the better at solving problems in difficult situations they do. Furthermore, the students who are equipped to the competence are likely to succeed in life in the future. This implies that experiences with people who have different personalities and interests allow students to get adept at handling the various people, even including tricky and demanding people. This can be helpful for them to success.
In summary, it may be hard to be a friend with people who have a different traits and hobbies, but being friend with people from different culture and circumstances gives us interesting and valuable chances to share and exchange different experience and improve social skills. Comport and easy going relationship with similar people has advantages. However, I believe that in a relationship, variety and diversity ensure more enriched life. | |
