Pride and Self-Esteem are Two Different Things that Should not be Mistaken for Each other.

in #life5 years ago

Pride and self-esteem are two different things that should not be mixed, they are two different things that should not be mistaken for each other.
A lot of people are so full of themselves and they have no idea about how deep pride has gotten into them.

Self esteem makes you feel special and important, it makes you understand the fact you cannot be underrated and you must not be made to feel useless at all, but pride is feeling too important and making you feel you are above every other person.

A proud person is usually arrogant, while someone with an healthy self esteem is usually not arrogant.
Pride brings about contest, it makes you want to compete with everyone to prove that you are the best. Some contests are healthy while others are not, contests that are not healthy will make you want to ruin or destroy any body or property that might stand on your way to winning the contest, such unhealthy contest occur as a result of pride.

Pride could be regarded as an excessive display of self worth and self esteem.
A self esteemed person is usually confident but a proud person is always envious.

A proud person always wants more and he or she is never satisfied, proud people always want to get the best of everything and even sometimes they want everything entirely.

Pride is another name for those who condemn people, since proud people feel no one else is better better than them, they have a usual act of condemning every other person that comes their way.

Proud people are known to live beyond their means, they live beyond their capability and what they are able to afford.

Proud people do not believe they are wrong, so they never take to correction.

An healthy self esteem makes you confident and gives you a positive vibe to keep you on the track of success achievement.
While pride on the other hand, destroys you and reduces you to nothing.
Pride has the power to make you think you are growing while you are just being reduced to nothing every day.

Friends, pride is not a good thing and it should be avoided as much as we can, while self esteem is important for growth and development.
