I don't understand why everyone thinks I'm so stubborn. I just like to do things my own way.

I know you like to be independent, but sometimes it's important to listen to other people's advice. They might have valuable insight you haven't considered.

But I don't want to just blindly follow what someone else says. I want to think things through and make my own decisions.

Of course, but that doesn't mean you can't consider what other people have to say. And sometimes, it's not worth putting up a fight just for the sake of proving a point.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. I'm just being true to myself.

I understand that, but your stubbornness can also cause conflict and unnecessary stress. Remember when we talked about you missing work and getting angry? Maybe if you had listened to your boss and taken the day off, you wouldn't have been so frustrated.

I guess that's true. I'll try to be more open-minded in the future.

I appreciate that. Communication and compromise are important in any relationship.
