The other day, I met with someone who I have never really(maybe even never ever) gotten along with. I was hoping that everybody would be professional about it, instead some people were doing stuff on their laptop, or showing that someone to read something from a magazine they brought. I ended up being so frustrated that I wanted to walk out then and there. Although if I did, there would probably be no end to their comments as to how I shouldn't have done that if I had.
Anyway, I figured that in any group, there has to be a balance. There's always going to be someone that is extroverted and outspoken craving for attention, and then there's going to be someone that is shy and reserved. Then, there will always be someone who is very capable to take on a variety of tasks and there will be someone that is very willing to pass anything on their hands to others.
People with different traits, personalities, and beliefs were put together for a reason...they put in together a balance that will be beneficial to the group.
That's probably my mindset now when dealing with "difficult" people.
