Oh don't get me wrong. I am extremely stubborn. But I'm slightly less stubborn than I'm coming off. I'm coming off like a brick wall. I'm not a brick wall. Maybe more like semi rotting drywall.
I think we all have stubborn streaks. But yeah, you were definitely coming across as a brick wall, even though I know you didn't mean to.

I do the same thing with apologizing, too. I "make up" for not being able to compliment people with thanking them a ton. Or I will side step a real compliment and say "X, Y, Z really helped me" rather than "You are so good at x, y, z! I really appreciate your help!"
