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.

@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.
