How there is thin line between self-respect and pride

Discussing pride can be delicate since many of us are unwilling to accept its impact on our lives. We generally focus on giving constructive feedback to confident people, making it hard to consider that we may also have confident traits.

Would like to discuss and define pride together. A prevalent, sometimes exaggerated view of one's worth that may overshadow others. High self-confidence in one's abilities and knowledge. Thus, the confident person is convinced of their viewpoint and feels motivated to persuade others.

In our belief system, conviction strength affects pride. As a cognitive product, this sensation of pride is subtle, making it hard to discern in our immediate environment. It can take many shapes we may not notice. This is why the Universe brings us into contact with self-confident people—it might help us reflect on our own pride.

Before continuing, I'll give you a test to determine how much pride may unwittingly affect your behaviour. Please mark your degree (0–10) in each case, with 0 signifying the lowest frequency and 10 the maximum.

Summarising the 10 numbers may help you understand how pride affects your life. This result will indicate your everyday pride. To make this exam more fair, try having someone who knows you well take it and compare their results to yours.

People with considerable self-assurance in their interactions are typically seen as confident. However, his actions shows self-deprecation, which may explain his attempts to impress others with his performance or expertise.

Recognising our pride helps us address it quickly. Conversely, interpersonal relationships and confidence may be affected.

Recognising our shared humanity, abilities, and growth areas and allowing ourselves to appreciate them can help us develop humility and self-love. Let us investigate the idea that pride may signal a lack of affection and rejection. We responded since this difficult scenario has caused us hardship.

Another way to overcome pride is to look at proud people and see their fragile inner child, who may fear rejection and not being loved. Expanding our empathy for others will help us do the same for ourselves.
