付き合い – tsukiaui
The quote from Karel Chapek's （カレル・チャペック） R.U.R. (1921) Japanese title 「ロボット」 - a science fiction play that introduced the word 'robot':
もし犬がしゃべれたら人間同士と同じくらい付き合いにくくなるだろう。
If dogs could talk perhaps we'd find it just as hard to get along with them as we do with people.
What I find to a very useful word here is:
付き合い --つきあい -- association; socializing; socialising; fellowship
which makes then
付き合いにくくなる -- becomes difficult to get along with
And one more word to remember
人間同士 --にんげんどうし-- mankind
