I Feel Proud of Myself? Does It Shameful?

Pride means feeling good about yourself because of something you did for yourself or just simple who you are. It’s like being happy and satisfied with yourself. But sometimes, we think we can only feel proud if others say we did well. We require validation from outside. Does it mean feeling proud on yourself without outside validation always means a negative trait.

Let’s discuss more. What is proud and all? We grow up wanting approval from parents, teachers, and friends. This makes us rely on what others think and feel good about ourselves. But whatever you do? You know better? In a situation or any story about you. If you told it to 10 peoples, they all have different reactions.

But here, I learn something interesting after discussion a group of peoples, such outward approval kicks in from childhood. Children always complain, my parents never appreciate me for that even, I did that and this. In reality, the concept of Micro families is not comes from choice.

Whatever is not appreciated by parents will tend to seek fuzzy approvals from teachers and friends. That’s why kids friend’s now become more support system rather then parents after a certain age.
