I am quite sure that if you asked those who know me they could come up with more than a few creative one-word descriptions of me, but we’ll stick with “stubborn” for now. 😄
I’d blame it on my age, but I have always had a bit of a stubborn streak in me. It’s probably gotten worse as I have gotten older, but it’s always been there to some degree.
Sometimes it can be a detriment. There are times where if I wasn’t so stubborn I would probably get stuff done quicker. That said, if I am wrong I usually have no issue admitting it. But if I still believe I am right? Forget it. Just move on. Better for all concerned. 😜
Having a stubborn streak has also served me well at times.
I can think of more than a few times in the service when my stubborn streak would not allow me to quit, so score one there.
Stubborn. Tenacious. Two sides of the same coin, really.
I could also say that after I lost my job back in ’23, my stubbornness/resolve kept me from going totally off the deep end. I was hellbound and determined that those bastards weren’t going to get the last laugh, and they didn’t. If anything, they ended up much worse off, which didn’t break my heart even a little. Hell, I’d even go as far as saying serves them right. 😊
Yep, I am laughing at you, not with you. You suck, I rock.
So, yeah, I think being stubborn isn’t always a bad thing. If you can temper it right (still working on that), it can serve you well in certain situations. It’s all about moderation, I guess.
Have a great one, kids!
