I'm in the same boat sweetie . Although sometimes its good to be but most the time its not like sometimes I may really need help but dont ask because of my pride although being less prideful would make it a lot easyier, being prideful makes you stronger . To me its like 50 percent a good thing 50 percent a bad thing.

I think it's ok to be proud of ur accomplishments, but don't let it go to ur head. If u don't wanna be proud anymore, don't be. Just be humble. Be modest. Catch urself everytime u feel ur being prideful

Pride is a sin, and the bible says God loves those who are humble. It doesn't mean you cannot be proud of yourself and your accomplishments, you just have to learn how to be humble about it. I would suggest reading the bible and starting with 1 Peter 5:5-6. Through prayer and bible study, your wish will be granted!

There is nothing wrong with having pride in who you are, and the accomplishments you make in this life. However; when it starts to intefere with your social life and the wellbeing of others, it's a problem. First step, take a deep breath, understand that it is not weak to ask for help or to give it, respect yourself and others, and remember that your prideful ways can lead to a very painful fall and you don't want that.

why would you want to stop, pride is a very good thing. As long as you don't look down on people. If you do feel superior to people remember we are all the same. sure we make look and talk differently but we all shyt pyss eat sleep and die, and where you might excel in certain areas, there are people who excel in the areas you don't
