stop being so stubborn

I’ve realised that although being stubborn has it’s advantages – increased determination for one, I let it get to the point where I hurt myself and other people by not giving in regardless of right or wrong.

I need to get some perspective and stop being stubborn when I have no need to be.

Never let your persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance.” Anthony J D’Angelo

my wonderful boyfriend is really stubborn, along with many other men. But the difference is that he has a lot of potential and he wants to do better for hiself. He has been through a lot of tramatic things and that has changed him into being a stubborn, seld-centered prick. he wants to change but hes taught his mind how to control his emotions. I want to help him so much but i dont know where to start. hes really stubborn hes trained himself that way.

so yeah.. i’m stubborn. excessively stubborn. to the point where it could actually hurt myself in the end. and it probably has.

this is part of what makes me…well ME! I also think that to a certain extent it is needed in my job. So I guess I’m just giving up on this one too…boy am I clearing the list tonight…lol.

won’t even go back to the dr. for a recheck on my ankle that I injured in an auto accident…but I have a long list of excuses…lol

It really is a part of my personality…and I do it without even realizing it…how can you stop doing something when you don’t realize AS YOU DO IT that you are…this is one of those things that it’s much easier for me to look back and see that I’ve done…than to recognize it while I’m doing it…and you can’t change what has already happened…anyone have any suggestions?

I’m pigheaded! I am so stubborn that I almost always refuse help…even when I need it. I sometimes act as though it is my lone responsibility to solve all the world’s problems…if something is literally impossible for me to do by myself I often refuse to acknowledge that fact and continue to try to the point of immense frustration instead of simply saying ‘Would you please give me a hand’ I need to work on not being so stubborn about my independence. I know that at one time I was like that out of necessity…but I now have a husband who loves me and that I can depend on and I still keep insisting on doing it all myself.

I want to stop being so stubborn and blowing up so quickly before someone finishes saying anything to me. I need to wait my turn to talk or express my feelings
