How it's used

This term carries a strong sense of someone being intentionally obstructive or uncooperative in a social or work setting. It describes a personality type that refuses to listen to reason or creates unnecessary friction, rather than just being shy or quiet. It is often used to describe someone who is being difficult for the sake of it.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with simply being stubborn, which is 固執. 倔尾龍 implies a more active, disruptive, or annoying quality that hinders communication or progress.
