You are stubborn, and that is not a flaw. You have the determination to go your own way against long odds and to keep going when other people would sensibly stop. When the fight is the right one, nothing is more satisfying or healthier for you than standing up against those odds for something you believe has value. That is not suffering for its own sake. It is how your life gets its point.
This is Individual circuitry, so what moves through you is mutation. Your struggles are not private. Lived honestly, they become an example that prods other people to find what is worth fighting for in their own lives. Expect the Individual weather too: pulses of energy, and stretches of melancholy that pass on their own.
The trap is letting your mind pick the battles. Your head will hand you causes all day, and most of them are not yours. A fight chosen mentally is exhausting and pointless, while a struggle you were properly initiated into through your Strategy and Authority carries you. The difference is not how hard it is. The difference is whether the energy holds.
One practical thing. This channel runs on adrenalised pressure, and when that pressure has nowhere to go it settles into the body as stress. Move it. Regular hard exercise burns off the excess and keeps your instinct clear, which is the very thing you most need working.
