obstinate and self-assertive; stubbornly insisting on one's own way
A yojijukugo describing a person who is headstrong, refuses to yield, and pushes their own opinions or desires. Often used critically.
I'm at my wits' end with his obstinate and self-assertive attitude.
強情我慢を張り通すと、周りから孤立するよ。
If you keep being stubborn and insisting on your own way, you'll end up isolated.
強情 means stubbornness or obstinacy alone, while 強情我慢 adds the nuance of self-assertion and pushing one's own way.
我慢 usually means patience or endurance, but in this compound it takes on the older sense of self-assertion or egoism.
A yojijukugo combining 強情 (stubbornness) and 我慢 (here in its older sense of self-assertion or egoism). The exact historical origin is uncertain, but it likely emerged as a literary or didactic phrase.
