  1. Pride isn’t something that I am overly familiar with. I have self-esteem issues, and the odd time that I do feel proud I almost always experience shame in tandem. I really have nothing to be ashamed of but I have no tolerance for my own small short-comings, and inevitably, I put myself down.

  2. I used to be so proud of my grades, but now I’ve kind of given up caring. I fail the things I don’t know, I pass the things I do. I am no longer the brightest one in the class. I can do well in certain classes, and I look like an idiot in others. I am learning to accept this and work harder at the things that don’t come easily to me.

  4. hmm. proud. well pride is a beautiful thing. in some circumstances. or am I full of shit? anyway. i’ve been thinking a lot about this and it doesn’t seem to work for me — the pride thing, i mean. i don’t know. it’s difficult to be proud when nothing really matters, you know? and how do you say this to people who look at you funny because they think that you lack confidence? that really isn’t my problem… the problem is that i don’t need to shove it in people’s faces. it seems better. what’s the alternative? make myself feel important by having people recognise me? does it matter in the END?

  5. I am proud to be on the drumline, but not really proud to be an american when compared to other countries like germany in the educational system, because my teacher said that in german schools there are no multiple choice just essay questions on everything. I think it really shows how lazy our teachers are here.

  6. A mother and father at the sight of their new child. The reaction you feel at becoming officially independent. A rare, but exhilarating feeling.

  7. it was clear he was never proud of his investments; in the time he spent on his family and his job. None of these things gave him the same pleasure he got from choking.

  8. It is good to be proud – so long as it is of the right things. Pride gives one a feeling fulfillment and joy at having done or believing in good things. The opposite of pride is shame, which is clearly a negative feeling.

  9. The proud. The few, the marry marchers making risks everyday. The proud. The brave, the gallant souls who always take the blame. Take pride in what they call you, be it insult or injury name. The proud will mark your soul with flame and blind the taint away.

  10. Pride is a dangerous thing.
    These were the words running through his mind as he stared down at the corpses piled around the battlefield.
    Pride ruined everything. His innocence. His childhood. And the lives of the hundreds of men scattered, broken, beaten down, lying in the dust at his feet.

    Abba
  11. god resists the proud; man is in awe of him; he fills with fear, he waits only to fall.

  18. to be proud, many would say is almost to be the same as ignorant. i myself hope that i am not proud because if i am that means that i am not putting myself all the way out there. and that is one of my biggest goals in life. being proud is not always a bad thing.

    melissa

  30. Being in the Navy made me proud. I was proud to serve my country, and I was proud that I did it in such a way that I was able to retire with an Honorable Discharge. I’m proud of my daughter and what she’s turning out to be. Given the lack of parenting she received from me it’s surprising to see how well she’s turned out. Getting to the position of IT Manager within my current job has given me a sense of pride as well.

  31. To understand and accept your own gifts and talents from God, using them generously for the good of others and not diminishing them, is what being proud is all about. Sometimes there is such a thing as false pride and that could be called arrogance.

    Steven
  32. God. The one and only word you’ll need. He is! Without him I am not. One word. God. It is the essense of existence. It is the ultimate love. It is my life.

  33. his answer was not what she expected; his utter disregard for her feelings left her empty and afraid. he looked at her with cold proud eyes.
    “the fritter is mine” he said. “stand back!”
    “never!” she cried and ran out, crumbs flying.

  34. this is the thing with pride it eats your soul and shakes the world with all unhealthy things and then what is left but distruction and the feeble inner stuff of your shaken soul , so be not proud but giving and humble and the world like a pearl will grow into somethig brilliant and beautiful with lustre and value with depth and meaning on every possible level of your existence, from your life to every other life you connect and collide with, creating spark and fusion and ether into the universe that glows with eternal inner life like the ocean in which you can breathe and walk in like you belonged

  35. “I always knew I was proud of you,” Samantha said to her son. “You climbed the monkey bars on the playground better than any of the other kids out there. That’ll show them who’s the boss in the neighborhood!”

    Jordan looked down at his shoelaces. How could he tell his mom that he wasn’t proud of his feat? Sure, he mastered the playground equipment and was now a self-proclaimed King of the Playground, but that wasn’t what he really wanted. He didn’t want to be different from the other kids, the ones who weren’t able to climb.

  37. I feel so proud when I see a word like proud. Primarily though it makes me think of gay pride. Why I don’t really know, but I would assume that’s because Toronto (my home) the city were I live is quite with the gay community. Quite with being of course, having quite a large community of gay people.

  38. He wasn’t very smart, but it didn’t typically matter. His nose gave it all away, the way he hung it high in the air, his dark long brown hair excellently groomed into a perfect border about his face.
    There was something almost regal about him, in a world full of nothing but paupers, and he knew it. He damn well knew it.

    Valdis
  39. Who’s proud? I think of my junior year of high school. Social Justice class. I think of African American struggles. My mother, her long,flowing hair in the 80’s, crying into the bathroom sink.
