We all have various personalities that we present to the public based on what we are doing, who we are impressing... yet, this is still "who we are."  That core personality that we carry within us, that tells us what is right or wrong... is never going to change.  However, it's expression grows and changes on a daily basis as we all continue to grow and mature.  For some of us, being more mature actually means we are having more fun!  For certain my ability to communicate is much more pronounced than it was when I was 21.  Or 49, or yesterday for that matter.     \n     For me personally, my attitude when I was a young employee was a "eager to please" person.  At the end of my career I was a "sour old germudgen."   Honestly, I use parts of my personality for various reasons.  The truth is, for the most part, inside of myself I see myself as a kindly teacher, a mischief maker, and a sweet old Irish peace-maker who has a bottle of whiskey hidden somewhere in the room with a pocket of tobacco always ready for a fine smoke... should someone need a moment to talk or just want to sit in the sun with me for a bit.  \n     Being "who" we are is a myth.  Our personalities grow throughout our lives, we learn daily and adjust daily to life around us.  Don't misunderstand, there are days when I have to dig deep within myself and find my own core.  What that core has become is a result of years of living, making decisions, enjoying life and just reacting day to day to life around me.  Like a lump of coal that gets transmutted into a diamond due to years and years of pressure on it, our personalities are the same.  Hell, imagine listening to Howard Stern or Pat Robertson every day and then try to image that it doesn't change your personality. \n     We all understand we present to the world a unique personna because we need a paycheck, regardless of what we personally feel.  It would be best if that personna was congruient with who we are as people, but that is not always possible.  We present the personna that keeps our paycheck coming in.  This is a lesson of life we all learn.  It's how we keep our jobs. \n     I find that after I retired, my joyful positive side became it's best.  I really now enjoy telling people to screw off, get frucked, or back away more often than I did before.  I'm less kindly now that I am retired.  But, I wish I had been where I am today those many years ago, for certainly I'm glad to be me and wouldn't have it any other way.\n     Wanna go play?  I'll go get my cane.  If that's too stimulating for you I'll grab the whiskey and my bone pipe, we'll sit in the sun and have a smoke, listen to the neighbors yelling at their kids, the Mexican-cowboy-Polks music from next door, the dogs barking, kids laughing, the sirens in the distance, the TV's blaring and deeply breath in the calming smog of the local environment.  \n     Ah life, aint' it grand!  My friend, I am laughing with you!

You've got to be able to discuss your differences and share your feelings, but that doesn't mean it has to be fighting.\n\nSometimes our communication styles just aren't compatible.

i think that when you are around people, or, one person all the time, things relating to personality tend to rub off on one another.  Like my boyfriend and I... for example, when he gets upset about something, he tends to get mad at everything and almost everyone around him... it's like his whole world is crumbling down, and in some cases it's almost like he takes me down with him...  BUT you know what... now that I think about it, that really has nothing to do with your question....\n\nBUT GIVE ME THE POINTS ANYWAYS CUSE I DIDNT LEAVE A THOUSAND PAGE ANSWER!\n\nLOVE YOU MEOW!  ;)

Personality is a persons characteristic (who they are as a person), smartness is a persons IQ and/or ability to think. You didn't think much before asking this huh?

Tips, peopel love talking about themselves, so ask them questions. Also, if you reveal a fact about themselves the other person then feels obliged to reveal a fact about themselves in turn ("My faveourite colour is blue." "Really? My faveourite colour is green." ) which builds intimacy and keeps the conversation running.
