the Obstinate Demon

The Obstinate Demon “Stomp Stomp” is a change resistant bit of programming that fights against change, and seeks control and power by the only means it found useful in childhood: Refusing to Cooperate. This Obstinate loop is so stubborn that it will even fight change that is desperately needed and obviously beneficial.

“No, I will not take my medicine”

“I not going to do what the boss asks”

“Your psychotherapy model is wrong”

“Don't tell me what to do”

“I'm not cutting my hair for the job interview”

Message

I must fight back to survive and show my power by refusing to cooperate. I'm in charge. You can't control me, even if I have to self-sabotage to prove it. I have power.

HA HA

This demon feeds on a certain glee found in spoiling the process, resistance is its little way of controlling and fighting back when otherwise left powerless. Passively rebellious tricks, such painting the suburban house fluorescent purple and nervous smiling when asked “why?” are a hallmark. (I'll show those neighbors!)

Obstinate is not passive aggressive, because its not passive and the man is aware the resistance, though unable to see the wounds and motives beneath. `

Angel

Obstinate was born as an Angel of Self-Preservation, created to keep a boundary, give hope to a child without any other source of control. Loss of personal control is it's phobia.

Danger
This is a bad demon. It's recursive – “I need to change but I must fight agianst it”. Using resistance to fight changes eventually leads to self-sabotage. This demon frustrates the perpetrator through life and frustrates those who in his life. Since self-preservation means change must be resisted, the man with this Demon resists changing, but does not know why except for the Demon's story... which makes no sense to those forced to listen
