I have to admit that I am head strong and stubborn at times. I believe it stems from my mom being so strict while I was growing up. I wasn't allowed to have a say in anything. Now that I'm away from home (going on 5 yrs now) I am having a really tough time taking advice from ppl. When I'm told things like 'You shouldn't do such and such' or 'You really need to do this' Something (rebellion I'm guessing) just rises up in me and I'm all like ... oh heck no. No one is gunna tell me what to do. I'm gunna do whatever I want... Now that I'm in my 20's, my issues with authority really bug me because I am a gentle natured person most of the time and I want to be a good example to the kids I take care of. Do you have any suggestions on how I can combat this behavior? I'm not asking to become someone's doormat but I do want to be more ... flexible? or less pig headed? Thanks
