When Uncooperative becomes frequent or intense, it can weaken trust, judgment, cooperation, or well-being; one isolated episode, however, is not enough to define a person by this label. To assess Uncooperative fairly, look for a consistent pattern across time and situations, consider the surrounding context, and avoid defining someone by a single incident.
