How to use "Be stubborn" in context?
30712 thoughts on "be stubborn"
There are a few things wrong with being stubborn. Chief among these is that, over time, it can become a habit. This can make it difficult to change or break bad habits, and can lead to frustration and resentment. In the context of relationships, stubbornness can also be problematic. It can be frustrating to date someone who is unwilling or unable to change, no matter how much we argued and pleaded. Finally, stubbornness can also be counterproductive when it comes to completing tasks.
