One of the most important things that one should know is how to feel proud of ones own self. If a person does not feel proud of his or her self, it could have a very adverse effect on their confidence level. They will begin to see the negatives in everything around them and may be willing to go along with negative comments from others. There are two ways to feel proud of yourself. You can either try to convince yourself that you are a wonderful person or try to convince others that you are a great person.


Some people do not like being called a title rather they would prefer to hear it. It is up to you to determine which method will work better for you. It is never easy to try and convince someone of something that they may be afraid of. If a person has a strong phobia about being proud of themselves, they can sometimes force themselves to feel proud of themselves even if they do not want to. Once a person is able to force themselves to feel proud of themselves their confidence will soar.

One of the best ways to get someone to feel proud of themselves is to make sure that you know that a person's self-esteem is high. This is usually done by making sure that a person is always complimented when they do something good. By simply saying thank you when someone has done a good job will surely help to boost a person's self-esteem and make them feel proud of themselves.

Another way to make someone feel proud of themselves is to let them know that they are a person who is worthwhile. Everyone was made in the image of God and everyone has the capability to do great things. This will allow a person to be more confident in their abilities and they will become proud of themselves.

By just simply doing something nice for another will surely cause a person to feel proud of themselves. There is nothing wrong with giving a person a shoulder to cry on or giving them some extra money. The most important thing is to simply be there for the other and let them know that they are not worthless. There is nothing that a person can feel proud about if they are telling themselves that they are worthless. By doing this they will begin to feel better about themselves because of this feeling of worthiness.

If a person sees that others were able to do something well without expecting any help then they should follow suit. By being confident in oneself and following the crowd will allow a person to feel proud. Just like lifting a weight does not make a person overweight, it will only make a person confident. By simply thinking positive thoughts a person will be able to feel proud of themselves.

If there is a family member that is not carrying their load of the household duties then a person should ask them to help out. This can help someone feel proud of themselves because they will have another person that they can depend on. Even if the other in question is the younger sibling, it does not mean that a person has to sit back and take it because it is the duty of the older sibling.


A person can feel proud of themselves by giving to the less fortunate. Helping out a neighbor, a sick relative, or a stranger on the street is a very good thing to do. All that is required is that the person does not expect any kind of response or gratitude in return. Anyone who is able to do this is displaying true grit and is worthy of being proud.
