If you try to surround yourself only by people that are exactly like you, how will you ever change or grow as a person? When someone disagrees with me, I find I am forced to rethink my position. In the end, I am either stronger in my conviction or realize I am wrong and make a necessary change. This is what has helped me grow as a person, and has helped me become more compassionate towards people.
Basically, surround yourself with people whom you share common ground with, but those who may differ from you in some ways. They will understand you and challenge you to try new things all at the same time.
