>From my experience, I've either been playing in small groups, three players
or so and a GM, and the GM makes time to cover the tangential behaviour
(often in single-person RPing sessions between game sessions).
The main campaign where I experience this, however, is a one on one game.
Hence, it's not a problem. My character, who started out a burglar and
freelance all-around bitch, has wound up joining the police force (out of a
genuine desire to do good), and is likely to wind up a horror hunter. The
campaign develops to fit the character's personality; when she starts doing
different things, the people and situations that she encounters are
naturally different as a result. Easy.

... or not play in groups that can't accomodate that. (Generally that means
'steer clear of large groups'.)
