TheSilentType Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I am a proud person, and it affects my interaction with others. Is there any who has this problem? What did you tell yourself to overcome it?

Pyro Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 I am a proud person, and it affects my interaction with others. Is there any who has this problem? What did you tell yourself to overcome it? There is nothing wrong with being proud, but being too proud can be a problem. Just remember that you are no different then anyone else. We are all humans, therefore we are all equals here. When you talk to others, don't try and brag. Conversations should never be just about you.
Author TheSilentType Posted August 9, 2006 Author Posted August 9, 2006 Actually Riddler, I never brag about myself. And when I speak with people, its usually me asking questions about them since that's how I like it. I guess I should have provided more information. My pride manifests more in the way of being stuck up. I always wait for other people to do things. I never acknowledge them unless they say hello first. I don't call up my acquaintences and ask them to go out; I tell myself, well if they want to do something then they should call me. Why should I call them? I don't know if I'm making sense....but that's how my pride manifests...

I don't know if I'm making sense....but that's how my pride manifests... That is stuck up in a ways. If you see someone that you know, then say hello. Why wait for them to say it? Are you familiar with that phrase "the phone works both ways?" A couple of my ex friends were very stuck up and that would be there excuse if I didn't hear from them in a long time. Actually, you say that they are acquantances? Then you are not obligated to call them. If they were your friends then I would see a problem. If they are your friends, then you would want to call them and make plans. Its only natural for friends to do that. You need to be more open with these people if you want to have a friendship with them. If not, then why does it matter what they think about you?
Green Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Ah yes pride possibly the deadliest of the 7 sins. You think you know everything don't you. well we all have a blind spot even you and if you dont do something about it your heading for alot of disapointment in your life. I sugest you ask your friends how they feel for a change...

Seriously, what are you afraid of? What's the worst that can happen? To me, that sounds more like insecurity than pride.
