Are you one of those people who always staunchly defends the stand you have taken - no matter what? No backing up and reexamining your thoughts and motives? You never attempt to peek around the proverbial corner and try to see the other side of an argument? You know what you believe about a situation or circumstance, and God help the person who disagrees with you. Holding firmly to what you believe is much more important to you than attempting to understand someone else’s opinion. You’d far rather retaliate than negotiate.
