It is a feeling that you respect yourself and deserve to be respected by other people. It is when you have excessive self-esteem and feel that you are more important than others either as a result of your beauty, achievements, wealth, popularity or social class. For this reason you feel you shouldn’t associate with anyone or people who have less of the above mentioned, when compared to you.
Pride! This attitude could deprive you help that you might easily have got from other people, simply because you cannot see yourself associate with them. It can also make you have difficulties in opening up to others when you are in a fix. You can even lose your relationships to pride.
You may be too proud and know it. It is as well possible that you may be too proud and not know it. Either way, access yourself and be sure not be the proud type. Beware of the saying “Pride goes before a fall”.
