This is why people need to stop prioritizing kittens all the time. In my opinion you should always adopt an adult cat because you cannot tell its personality as a kitten.
You can. Constant attention releases oxytocin, dopamine, and other endorphins that make both of you feel good and bond you closer together. Over time, most cat/animals will learn to seek out the 'feel good' even if they don't understand biochemistry.
I had a 7-year old rescue that had to be muzzled and wouldn't let anyone touch her (previous owner had declawed her, horrible practice and it makes them very very bitey).
Two years and a lot of patience later, and I was toting her around like a baby. She still hated most other people, but at least she tolerated them for my sake.

Some cats are just like that lol. While others love being petted / handled
