Paul was not one to sacrifice truth for the sake of relationships. Read Acts chapter 15 to see Paul involved in church and personal relationship problems. Tongues - Paul did not see this as a light matter to be ignored. In 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14 he spent considerable time to directing Christians in it's purpose and use. He did not ignore it or downplay it but encouraged it.
Personal relationships are important.
Jesus said the two principles upon which the rest hang is to love God with all our soul, body and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. The latter will be easier to get in line when the first one is. I would encourage you to concentrate on building a strong relationship with God and see how that will improve your relationship with others.
