Pride? Or standards ?

Both. Everything in life usually falls best near the middle

An excess of pride is a deadly sin, isn’t it?
Summerbreeze45 · 51-55, F
@QuixoticSoul so they say

It can be both

I read pride as a defense mechanism..
Summerbreeze45 · 51-55, F
@SW-User lots of truth in that in my case

It depends on how you wield it. If you use it for your own self-satisfaction, feeling how good it feels to know your own purpose in life, I think that's a strength. If you use your pride to run over people, to make them wrong so you can be right, to think you're better than they are, I think that would be a weakness.

Pride is a tricky word:
It can mean anything from justly earned confidence, to pleasure in your children's accomplishments, to arrogance.
How exactly does pride ruin your relationships?

@PowerofStories I just never seem to give anyone room for error lately. As I get older, i just feel like why should I put up with anything that makes me feel less than or uncomfortable.
PowerofStories · 61-69, M
@Summerbreeze45 That is a tricky one for me too. I tend to err on the side of cutting people slack, but there are circumstances where I think "Life is too short for me to put up with this shit!" I try to set healthy boundaries. But that is easier to say than do.

Strength!!
Summerbreeze45 · 51-55, F
@DisturbOne I happen to think so too

Mostly a weakness but dignity is a strength. Dignity in my case means I always work hard and try not to bother people too much or depend on them too much. But life does require interdependence in some ways.
Summerbreeze45 · 51-55, F
@purplepen dignity, yes. I think that is mostly how I see it, more so than pride.
Both

It depends if it's healthy or unhealthy pride, just like it depends if it's healthy or unhealthy shame.
Either can be a strength or a weakness.

I don’t have any. My parents were a mix of shy and humble.
Pride annoys me. Especially at work.

It can be either, actually.
