Not being able to relate to and be comfortable around people who aren't like you, or are on a different level, is certainly not always related to insecurities or mental inflexibility.
To relate to someone is to have a shared understanding on some level with them, sort of... ok, i'm bad at getting the meaning across, but the point is that being unable to relate to somebody comes from people being different to the point where there is not enough shared understang, not enough common ground, or whatever, for the people to feel like 'ok, i 'get' this person, i can relate to this person. It does not nessessarily have anything to do with personal insecurity or mental flexibility. It would be ridiculous to expect people to be able to relate to everyone else, as we are all so unique, and that is what makes humans so interesting.
Being comfortable around people who you can't relate to is a different matter. I can't be bothered writing a whole seperate rant about it.

It's not true in all cases that people are determined by their background. People are capable of considering their choices and way of life and reducing the influence their background has on it. It is in many people's nature to do so.

People generally think and behave in an idiotic manner. Being pissed off by this to some degree is natural, and even healthy, as it inspires motivation for self improvement, and helping others to improve themselves.
