Are you proud of who you are? (41)
TheDino1: Yes I understand that, for me being proud is being able to stand with my head held high,and not to look down on anyone..
Exactly....
I think we should be careful and more aware when we think about pride and its possible connotations.

ChesneyChrist: Sometimes is the answer to that. I've an older brother who is ridiculously successful and a dead hero for a best friend. To help redress the balance I became a carer for the sick on the side of fixing boilers but there's a way to go yet.

I'm proud of myself in terms of reconciling with my past mistakes and trying to move forward from them, it's been a long road
Now, I feel I have a wonderful relationship with my children and I'm privileged to work, at my ripe old age lol, in an industry that I adore, supporting the vulnerable people in our community.
I feel like I've come home, after all these years

Pride refers to the satisfaction that an individual gains from something. Proud, on the other hand, refers to the feeling of pride. The difference between the two words is that while pride can be used as a noun or a verb, proud can only be used as an adjective.Feb 16, 2015

Proud? I am not ashamed of who I am. But proud to me would mean I did something special. I have only done what I should do and for that I am able to look myself in the mirror and even better I am able to live in peace.

Can't say proud. Content? OK with? Satisfied how my parents shaped me and life shaped me? I have quirks, habits and attitudes that others might disagree with. But, I am who and how I am. Glad to have made my way in life, learned all I could and still do...cared for those I loved, protected my farm and animals that depended on me.
Too late now to change. There are things I said and did, wish I hadn't, and those I wish I had.
I apologized once to my ex. He said that is OK..he did stuff also.
We do the best we can with what life gives us. I stand by the never judge until you walk a mile in their moccasins. Everyone makes a decision on 100 factors. No one else can because they never have all 100. Even on missing makes a difference in what one does.

For me being proud of who I am simply means that I am at peace with where my journey has taken me. It's not about winning medals type of pride...

My pride comes from the way my daughter turned out. When she was four years old I took on the challenge of raising her by myself with all the trials and tribulations and there were many of them. Now she is happily married, a retired police officer and rescues any animal that is in dire need of love and care. In general I developed a good person. Not counting those mother daughter fist fights 
Being proud of her is indirectly being proud of what I accomplished

I feel a great amount of pride when I see my kids being mentioned for what they have done or are doing. It doesn't matter if they are pretty, handsome, fit or thin. Doesn't matter if they have money or products. When they show their humanity, empathy, sympathy, can do attitude and their ability to interact with anyone without noticing color, (dis)ability or wealth, it brings a tear of pride to my eye to know that they have been taught the right things and they know how to use it on a day to day basis.

I say I am humble in how I see my life, as my journey on the path of life wasn't an easy one but I can safely say I have no regrets. I became mother and father to 8 wonderful children when their dad died in 1999. Now 21 years on my family has grown from 9 to 24 with 10 grandchildren and 2 son + 3 daughter -in-laws. We are a normal family, for which I am humble, don't get me wrong they fight, they debate, but they have respect for each other. For that I am so grateful

I would prefer to say, I'm ok with who I am, but there's always room for improvement.
Or as this quote succinctly says...
"I am content with where I am with my wealth, status, practice, etc. and I am proud in that. I can have that Pride without having to broadcast it, and I can move on. My Pride is purely internal."
