It seems that most people feel that not making mistakes is worthy of feeling pride. Shouldn't doing something good, rather than not doing bad, be the criteria for pride? Shouldn't the scale have three possiblities "feel guilty", "feel OK", "feel pride" rather than the binary "guilty"/"proud"
i don't think i would say i'm "proud" of myself. i'm happy with myself, but it feels weird to take pride in my parents' combined genetics. i am proud of what i've done with myself, generally.
I haven't accomplished everything I want to accomplish but there is time for that. And lately I've realized if I can raise my future child to be a kind person, I couldn't be prouder. I'm a kind person, so by default I am proud of myself
