1. They’re determined.
Being stubborn automatically means
you’re determined, and at times, to a
fault. No matter what, you know what you
want and you will find a way to get it.
Weighing the risks and finding out which
avenue to pursue in order to get your
desired result is something that comes
as second nature.
Most saw our determination as
insubordination, but that is only because
the word “no” really didn’t mean “no” to
us. It just meant we had to find another
way to get someone to say “yes.”
This lovely characteristic gave all
stubborn children excellent people-
reading skills; after all, you had to figure
out the person who was most likely to
give you what you wanted.

2. They’re fiercely independent.
Our independence is one of our strongest
qualities. We live by our own rules.
Growing up, help was the last thing you
wanted from people. I mean, why would
you need someone’s help when you
could do it all yourself, or so we used to
think.
We are independent to the point that it
drives people crazy. We hold high
expectations of ourselves, so as children,
we would throw the biggest fits if anyone
tried to lend a hand.
It never mattered if we actually could do
it ourselves or not; the point was we felt
we could and no one could tell us any
different.
Our independent nature taught us to be
self-reliant, both emotionally and
physically, early in life.
That has only become stronger with age.
We never let anyone else determine our
self-worth.
We know who we are, where we stand
and we don’t budge unless we want.




3. They’re natural-born leaders.
Being stubborn meant you tended to be a
natural born leader since you always
found yourself in charge of others.
When you’re young and a leader, the
word “bossy” appears in more than one
occasion. And, why shouldn’t it? After
all, you had a way of telling people what
and how to do certain things correctly.
When we were young, this proved to be
one of the difficult attributes to handle
for most adults because it meant we
couldn’t be controlled.



4. They’re opinionated.
Whether you want to hear it or not, we
have opinions and we will most likely
share them, especially if we are asked.
We have specific ideas of what we
consider right and wrong, and we don’t
mind fighting for our views. We stick to
our opinions, whether you agree or not.
Our blunt and honest answers hurt us
when we’re young because our brain
filters fail to work at full capacity; we
end up saying things we shouldn’t say
aloud.
This leads to many awkward moments,
hurt feelings and confused looks of, “Well
why did you ask me if you weren’t ready
for the answer?”
