Stubborn is Not Sexy
I got called out on one of my issues in dating. I can be stubborn! I think all of us can be stubborn in a way. For me, when I am feeling particularly hurt or upset, I go into isolation mode and push people away.
This is something that I have only recently admitted to doing so that when the person I am dating sees me behave strangely, they can know what to do. Hopefully, that won’t include running for the hills!
It is hard asking for help when you are used to handling things on your own. A lot of us single people get really comfortable with the self-reliance and self-sufficient behavior. The important thing to remember is that it can come across as self-absorbed. Self-absorbed and stubborn is so not sexy, believe me.
Do you have a problem with being stubborn? Does the concept of compromise get totally lost on you? When are you going to stop being so stubborn? How are you changing this?
Have you ever dated someone who was pig-headed and stubborn? How did you handle it?
Do you think stubborn people are doomed to be alone or is there a way to make a breakthrough?

Good night ALL!
Not sure how this fits in with today’s topic(s), but I liked it:

Enjoy your friends and your family!
