friends help: Stubbornness. - Help.com

Through our greatest strengths come our greatest weakness.

Stubbornness is the disability of accepting changes or dealing with the differences among people’s opinions . If there is a person can’t deal with changes or people differences so there is something wrong with this personality. people have to be flexible because we can’t live alone in this world so being stubborn means being alone even if people are around the stubborn person he will also be alone deep inside.

A stubborn person can change but if he realizes how isolated person he made out of himself.

I think being stubborn has its upside and downside. Stubbornness can help through tough times and help us to be strong. However, it can become negative when we need to change our views in order to enbrace growth or see the otherside of the story. The issue for me is knowing when to let our stubbornness go. So, for me its about keeping an open mind and balance in all things. However, it is also about knowing my limit e.g. when something comes against a value or opinion that I hold dear. To achieve this balance I usually seek feedback.

Thanks sweetie , you are the best

I agree with Sanni, it can be a great benefit, but also be a problem. I’m very stubborn, meaning I don’t give up easily, being stubborn gives me drive, but I can also be very hard headed and for me to change my opinion takes great effort, that can be a problem. That’s one of the reasons that I try to be slow to judge and react to counter balance my stubborness, it doesn’t always work, lol.

I thought we already were, lol

I was just teasing and you’re right we haven’t talked very much, but we have a few mutual friends namely the Savior and a couple of great people here.

Being stubborn means holding on to ideals, ideas, or a past situation in the face of change.

Not that being stubborn is entirely a bad thing. Sometimes we need to be stubborn, sometimes we need to accept or embrace change. It all depends on the situation I suppose.

I quest it depend on the subject matter, if I know I’m right I will not move. I will listen to the other person view and try to understand their view. I will not do any wrong if I know it wrong, but I will change if I have to.
