Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work with people who are just like you? If you are honest, you are thinking, that would be very boring. The beauty of life is that we all come in various styles. There are people who are naturally easy-going and gets along well with others. There are others who love to be in the spotlight. Then there are those who you could just live without. Those are typically the ones with the strong personality traits, e.g. Type D. The thing to always remember about other people is that they behave certain ways because of specific reasons. I like to use the term, 'wired.' I say, "they are wired a certain way." A person with a strong personality type may be expected to change their style, but that is asking them to change who they are. What you want to do is let a person be themselves, but address certain behaviors. Behaviors can change, but do not attempt to change a person's personality. That is a huge disservice. Many children have been damaged, because a parent or guardian mistakenly took the child's personality to mean that he or she was "being bad." So how do you address a behavior that you dislike? Here are three steps: 1. Focus on the things that bother you. Try not to focus on why the person is behaving a certain way. If you do not know the person, you will make assumptions. You may categorize them and put labels on them. You may decide they are just evil. All of these assumptions and opinions and labels could be totally wrong. Instead, focus on behaviors. If the person has a tendency to interrupt you while you are speaking, then address that problem. If the person has a tendency to walk off during a conversation, address it. 2. Be honest and direct. Do not beat around the bush when telling a strong personality type you have a problem with their behavior. You will annoy them if you do. Tell them you have a problem with this or that. I have found in dealing with strong personality types, that they appreciate when others are direct and truthful. So be strong. Be honest and be truthful. However, do so with care and love in your heart and not out of anger. 3. Do not ask a bunch of questions. You never want another person to feel as if they are in an inquisition. When you begin asking questions about a person's behavior, (e.g. do you know how it makes others feel when you do this or that?), you are perceived as lecturing them. You are setting yourself on a moral high ground, looking down on them. Make statements such as, "I know you have a strong personality and you get things done around here. I want to address something I observed in you that is making others, including myself, uncomfortable..." There are other steps that can be taken to handle this matter, but I believe these three steps are enough to help you effectively confront a person with a strong personality at work, home or in your organization.

One word, confidence. The reply above sounds like a snide, bitter description from a meek wall flower.
I don't need to be the centre of attention, but I need to be on the inner ring road of it. There is no point being at a social gathering to stand at the side looking at your feet. The strong personality is in the middle of conversations having a laugh and enjoying the company. It doesn't mean you have to be bang in the middle being an overbearing and loud pain in the botty.
So if you stand at the side, thinking that you don't have anything relevant to say, or that you're overweight, or have bad skin, and no-one will be interested in you, it's a lack of confidence. Nothing that cannot be overcome.

A strong personality can be either that this person drowns you in their own opinions and fail to understand that you to have a view which may differ to theirs. Also, possibly they do not have an opionion for public view and a false character appears as their front. Either or can be draining or quite interesting and give off confidence to their fellow man/woman.

Very definitive character, headstrong and confident - but can also bring about stubburn, pig headed behaviour as well as a touch of arrogance in certain circumstances.
Like any personality there are highs and lows.

It could mean your confident, or proud, not scared to show who you really are. it could also mean that you are a bubble happy person.
