Chutzpa

What is the opposite of chutzpah?

If chutzpah is this thing where you know you are right, damn the rest, what's the word for the thing where you know you are right but you go along with other stupid things people say anyway? Is there a word for it? Maybe there isn't. Maybe it doesn't deserve a word, because it's really a stupid way to be anyway. And it's annoying. I can't tell you how many times I give people the benefit of the doubt, only to discover that my thinking was correct all along. But why are people so incorrigible? Why do they hold on to their things with such ferocity even when there is another obvious point of view out there waiting for them? I think sometimes there is a point at which you kind of have to trust your gut, even if you don't know why, just to get to where you need to be.
