Content: This can make a person very hard to get along with if they refuse to accept responsibility where they should, and are instead always searching for a scapegoat. To try and change an innate way of thinking, a person must offload the tension that is causing them to be so inflexible. If you encounter somebody who is always looking to lay blame, arguing outright is unlikely to resolve the conflict. Encourage them to take a moment, perhaps to take a walk. Having some time to clear their head might help to let go of the inexplicable certainty that somebody must be held accountable. It is always challenging to reason with a rigid personality, but being able to diffuse their stress levels may bring the situation back to a manageable atmosphere. Unattainable expectations
Having a rigid personality is not just hard for the people around them. It is difficult for the person themselves. They may have set criteria and expectations for results or outcomes that are simply not achievable. In this case, they will likely be irrationally upset and disheartened if their expectations are not met.
