What is pride
Pride is the deep feeling of satisfaction you get from your achievements or of the achievements of the ones you are close to. When you put it like this, it is not really wrong but some people take it too far. So, the real question is How do you really know how far is to far?
Well, let me unveil the how right before your eyes.....
Simply put, proud people usually put themselves first, think about only their needs and don't care about who they hurt in the process, they love being the center of attention and crave for praises and compliments even when they don't really deserve it.
Ask yourself :
Do I classify people based on what they have, what they do for a living or their social status? Does where they stand affect the way I treat them negatively?
What you say
Do you find yourself talking alot about the things you have, things you do or have done how strong or how powerful your are? Do you find yourself saying the statement do you know who I am? Or something like that? Do you always find a way to make the conversation about you, the things you like the things you hate, the way you do things, thinking that the other person has nothing to say? Or their opinion doesn't matter?
What you do
How do you react to praises or compliments do you turn the conversation into a your personal journal? How do you react to advice, do you accept or reject the advise based on who is giving it? Do you actually listen or give your full attention to people who are not of your class? How do you treat them? When you speak are your words aimed to make them feel inferior? Would you be happy to hear the same words from others?
How do you react when someone comes for you to teach them. Do you scold them or say something like "how come you don't know this?". What if you don't know how to do something do you find it easier to ask for help or suffer in silence as Mr or Mrs know it all.
When you do something wrong, do you apologize quickly for your error or do u just expect the other person to understand and forgive you?
Who you associate with
Do you choose to or not to associate with people just because of their class, social status or wealth? How do you feel about spending time with people of a lower class than you are? Do you cautiously and constantly dread even the thought of it?
More words on:
How do you treat your siblings and friends? Do you listen to them and value their opinions? Do you ever do nice things for them without some other motive?
If you answered yes to one or all of these questions, I have more questions for you- Do you like being this way? Or did you just find yourself this way? Do you want to get rid of this habit? I think you do so, let's get right to it.
