Despite oneself....How to make a sentence ? Despite oneself , I know its meaning but how to make a sentence. I tried to make two sentences here , are they correct ? ( 1 ) I go to work every day ,despite myself. ( 2 ) You need to humor your parents's wishes , despite yourself. I feel above sentences is a little bit strange but I can't put my finger on it... Anyone can help me to modify them ? Thank you in advance.
