Let's be honest, one of the sources of conflict is personality, different personality types conflict. And if you think about it, quite often, personality types compares. We've got introverts and extroverts intuitive artistic types and detail, data oriented people. We've got emotional feelings and rational thinking, spontaneous and planned, conservative and compliance and open and rebellious. We've got conscientious do it now. And relaxed to later.

We've got time trusting and cool, cautious. You've got calm, confident, and moody. pessimistic. conflict arises because we misinterpret the other person's behaviors. And their behaviors are driven by their personality. And we misinterpret their behaviors because we don't understand them.

So because we don't understand them. The only guide we've got to interpreting them is our own behaviors and our own personalities. So what do we do? We interpret their behaviors as if they were our behaviors. And therefore, the reason for their behavior must be the reason why we would behave in that way. If we were in their shoes.

The simple fact is, we trust and like people who are like ourselves, and that means we find it harder to trust, and harder to like people who are different to us. And of course, mistrust breeds conflict. And this is especially so when their choices and behaviors conflict with what we think the right choices and behaviors.
