Each personality type can potentially irritate other people in their own particular way.
The potential ways in which an ESFJ can irritate others include talking too much, assuming you know the needs of others, and avoiding conflict to the extent of not giving criticism when it is needed. You may not pay enough attention to your own needs and, perhaps not seeing the wood for the trees, are sometimes reluctant to try out new things or work towards new possibilities.
You can overcome personality type differences by learning about your similarities and differences with other people. This leads to greater understanding, appreciation, and respect. Also, if you learn to adapt your style this will make you more influential and respected.
There is a comprehensive guide on how to do this in the book Influencing People Using Myers Briggs. This is available as an option when you complete the personality test.
