The Importance of Personality in Friendship
Our personalities are fundamentally a reflection of our experiences of connection or disconnection, right? So whether you are friendly, open, warm, vulnerable, trusting, cynical, aggressive, even violent, all of this is predicted by what your history of connection or lack thereof looks like. Those people that have that history of healthy relationships, they have an internal set of beliefs within them that allows them to continue to facilitate healthy relationships. People who have had difficult previous relationships, those can be internalized as a belief system that then can impede their ability to foster further connections.
