At first, I found myself being disappointed to hear Olga say she was low in Agreeableness, but I began to admire her for her determination and efforts at increasing those traits.
I think my automatic reaction was due to personal experience with hostile people and second-hand experience of their impact on the life of family members, colleagues, and clients. I wish that it was easier to change that trait.
People who have antagonistic traits probably think they are protecting themselves from being manipulated, but in effect, their impact on people around them can be so hurtful that it can cause relational trauma. At the end of the day, they tend to push people away and find themselves lonelier than they need to be.
Anyway, thank you for the interview, I gained some new insights!
