Opposites attract—everyone knows that. Some of those opposites, when they come together, are like fire and gasoline: it’s explosive, dangerous, and really shouldn’t happen in the first place. Meanwhile, some opposites are quite complementary and supplementary. One very common example of this is high-strung types being drawn to laid-back types, and visa versa. High-strung personalities can usually benefit from the relaxed nature of a laid-back partner—of someone to whom nothing is ever a big deal. These personality types can really ease the anxiety of high-strung individuals. Meanwhile, particularly relaxed personalities can benefit from the high motor and drive of high-strung, type A people. What laid-back characters lack in ambition and attention to detail, they can pick up from their high-strung partners. But, naturally, these two types can fight. And they will. If you’re laid-back and he’s high-strung, you’ll fight about this.
