Writing hot take:

The 'stubborn' character personality is extremely over-used, and it's often not used correctly. Some times it is, but often I don't notice that the character is meant to be stubborn because it's blended so seamlessly in with who they are and why they would act that way.

Mostly because 'being stubborn' can be seen as a flaw, so writers give it to their characters to make them seem less perfect on a check-list level (or, alternatively they use it as a positive attribute, but never explore that attribute in it's extreme that would lead to real character flaws). Then, they proceed to never give their character any real consequences for stubborn actions.

Instead, our little headstrong YA girly just manages to have such a perfect streak of luck in the way his/her actions affect others that he/she miraculously is always right, and always comes out on top.

Or maybe I'm just having a hard time relating because I'm a very passive person. 

Who knows.
