Stubborn

[Pumpkin]

Are you stubborn? I am very stubborn. When my mind is set on something, that's where it stays. For a very long time. Sometimes even when I know I'm wrong about something.

Here's a nice story of my stubbornness. Imagine little 6-year-old shion. I was at my grandmothers house. She had made something for dinner, which I can't remember, but I was full and couldn't finish my plate. Well my grandmother was convinced that I was lying and saying I was full (I really was full) so that I could skip dinner and eat a piece of her strawberry cake afterwards. So by this point I was offended that I was being accused of lying. I told her I was really full and I didn't want any cake. She insisted yet again that I was lying. "If you don't eat your dinner, you don't get any strawberry cake." Well, I was angry so I said "I don't want any. I don't even like strawberries!" Which wasn't true, I did like strawberries. But because I was upset and said that, I refused to eat strawberries for almost a year after that, because I was too stubborn to admit I just said that out of anger.

I tried strawberries after that year and you know what? I didn't like them anymore. I tried them again a few years ago. Still don't like them. Apparently I am so stubborn I actually convinced myself to not like strawberries.

How can ye have any pudding, if ye don't eat yer meat?

Yeah, I'm a stubborn ass at times although I will relent if proven wrong at least. When I know I'm right though... talk about driving something into the ground man, I will not let it go until I'm vindicated or apologized to.

There's a difference between being stubborn and always being right.

trout, can I use that?

Let's put it this way:

When I was 8, I saw an egret in Pennsylvania. It's a type of bird, if you're not sure what that is. I said it was a flamingo, because I didn't know what it was called. Everyone laughed at me and teased me so hard, I maintained that since I was the only who had seen it (which is true), that they had no way of knowing, and it was a flamingo.

Nearly 14 goddamn years later, any time anyone brings up that story, I still say it was a flamingo.

I'm definitely stubborn about myself, as I'm sure many of you on here have realised

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I have been told that I'd cut my nose off to spite my face. The more some pressures me to do something, the less likely I will do it. Also, most cases of reverse psychology are too transparent that I will still not do it.

There's a difference between being stubborn and always being right.

[Rebellious Eagle]

I'm pretty sure my middle name should be stubborn.

[Shorty]

I'm not stubborn.

[Agent Proto]

People who claim to be stubborn are usually stubborn for the wrong reasons.

[Lonely Paper Star]

I'm incredibly stubborn in real life. >.>

[Cloudane]

I am not stubborn and never will be, no matter what you say.

[Shoeberto]

I think stubbornness is a pretty bad trait to have.

It's one thing to stand your ground on something that's important, but otherwise you just end up creating a lot of unnecessary drama over stupid trout for the sake of it.

I think it's dumb.

I'm incredibly determined.
