To have an interior nature that may not have an exterior physical manifestation Insistence, noun."to insist", verb, as opposed to "to exist" or standing out, and not in the sense of persist, assert or dwell upon something. The term "insist" comes from the Latin "in", meaning inside, interior, inward, and "sistere", meaning standing, dwelling ... So "to insist" here is to mean to have an interior quality or essence that may not have an outward physical expression. Urban Dictionary
That one person that sees the absolute negative side of everything. S/he cannot commit to anything, due to the fact that everything can and will go wrong, and on the off chance that s/he does commit to something, s/he will make whatever it is absolute hell for anyone else involved. Despite this, always insists that "we" need to do more as a group or family. Urban Dictionary
I quick way to end an argument Urban Dictionary
Something most think is profound but in reality is pretentious and ostentatious. Urban Dictionary
The definition of “insist” is; “demand something forcefully, not accepting refusal.“ or “ demand forcefully to have something.” or “ persist in doing something even though it is annoying or odd.” When one says “He insists upon himself” It means they’re are requiring of you to put more effort in understanding their Ambiguousness. For example, when Jesus Christ tells parables or Socrates ask questions; they are insisting upon themselves, they’re requiring of you to do some thinking in order to understand what’s being taught, instead of giving you literal messages of their rhetoric.
