Difference between an egoist and stubborn?

[modeve]

I think a thin line is drawn between an egoist and a stubborn. Who are you and how would you differentiate between two?

Hello, I'm an artist by trade and in engineering by proffession. I'm a capricorn, I prefer to wear a nice suit to jean and a tee, and I'm stubborn, not an egoist.

There is a clear line between the two.
Stubborn argument: These are the facts, these are the opinions about the facts and you won't sway me from those opinions because of who I am.
Egoist argument: My opinions are the facts because of who I am.

There's a subtle but distinct difference.

I've no idea how stubbornness is close to being self-centered. Lines pretty black and astoundingly thick to me.
