Yes, sometimes you find yourself working with someone with whom you made a mistake in joining or collaborating on a certain project. That reminds me of when I was in university and had to do the final presentation for our project. I was paired with one of the students. At first, I thought he was the right person to help each other with the work because the university required us to complete this project in pairs or groups of three at most. When I started working with him, I found it very difficult to manage our collaboration and share our responsibilities. We had many papers to write, research to conduct, interviews to do, and meetings to attend. It was a six-month project. He was difficult to work with; he was a talkative person and insisted on every point, needing to present himself as a hero or something like that. I don't know how to explain it. He didn't focus on the work or how to finish it properly to achieve a high grade; instead, he concentrated on his appearance and his image. I don't know how to explain it, but in the end, unfortunately, we didn't achieve the results we hoped for.
