give in for your own good

Everyone is stubborn, but it's just not worth it. Don't be too proud to do something that's in your best interest. If you're forced to go to dinner at a place you hate instead of your favorite restaurant, that doesn't mean you can't make the best of it. If you're in a bad mood, being stubborn won't help you get your way any more than just enjoying whatever is happening. This happened to me so I refused to eat in defiance, but it didn't hurt anyone but myself. My parents saved money while I got hungrier, and when I finally gave in and stole some of my brother's food- it was good. Sometimes you just need to swallow your pride, get over yourself- and do what you know you should. The people who you're proving yourself to won't care, or think that you're giving in. In the end everyone will benefit. You have to think- who's winning here, and is it really worth it? Because chances are, probably not. <3
