THE POWER OF SELF PRIDE AND SELF ESTEEM | IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
If you want to kill a great idea, make sure that it gets introduced into our public schools. Bloom’s Taxonomy has been thoroughly caricaturized and practically discredited by the the way it was almost completely misunderstood and misused by our public schools (since the top is most important, let’s focus only on the top! — because, who needs foundations?). And the self-esteem movement, in no small part started by Nathaniel Branden, is almost entirely responsible for the creation of a generation who cannot be criticized without falling apart, who need safe spaces, and have the highest opinion of their abilities combined with the lowest abilities in the developed world.
For the longest time, I have argued that the problem is that we are teaching children to have “self-esteem” while doing nothing to develop in them a self to esteem. And I still think that is mostly true. But what does it even mean to develop a self to esteem? Perhaps one of the things we are missing is pride.
Let’s look at what Nathaniel Branden himself says about the relationship between self-esteem and pride:
Is Pride Causing Your Lack Of Confidence & Low Self Esteem?
The two are related, but there are significant differences in their meaning. Self-esteem pertains to a man’s conviction of his fundamental efficacy and worth. Pride pertains to the pleasure a man takes in himself on the basis of and in response to specific achievements or actions. Self-esteem is confidence in one’s capacity to achieve values. Pride is the consequence of having achieved some particular value(s). Self-esteem is “I can.” Pride is “I have.” (The Psychology of Self-Esteem: A New Concept of Man’s Psychological Nature 1969/1979: 125)
The problem with the self-esteem movement as practiced in our public schools is that it became completely separated — indeed, opposed to — this sense of pride. Rather, self-esteem was tied up with an idea that others’ success and rightful feeling of pride at that success hurt your own self-esteem, as though the fact that others can somehow proves that I cannot.
The belief that you can do something in no way means that it will be easy for you to do it. It doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily be interested in it. It doesn’t mean you’ll put in the work necessary to master it. And self-esteem in no way is the same as pride.
One of the problems is that people have mistaken the two. There are people out there who are supremely confidence in, say, their mathematical abilities, but who know next to nothing. I have certainly, in my years as an English composition teacher encountered university students who were supremely confident in their writing skills, but whose compositions bordered on being completely incoherent. They were told by their teachers they were great writers — no doubt, in order to boost their self-esteem — when in fact they were terrible writers. What the teacher boosted was their pride, not their self-esteem. They told them they had accomplished something rather than persuaded them that they could do it.
Jordan Peterson - Self-esteem Doesn't Exist
When you tell someone they can do something, that doesn’t mean they’re doing it now, or that they’re doing it well right now. It is one thing to see potential in someone and to tell them that they can do something (self-esteem) and telling them they have indeed accomplished something for which they should be proud. And we shouldn’t confuse the two, as we have been doing.
I began by pointing out that we are trying to develop self-esteem without trying to develop a self. How does one develop a self? In no small part, through the true pride of accomplishment. When I had a poet I admired tell me that one of my poems was perfect and that he wouldn’t change a thing, that made me proud of that poem — and it made me realize that I could be a poet, that it was possible for me to potentially write more poems that were good. It was this that then contributed to developing my self-esteem, the idea that I could in fact be a good poet. Of course, prior to his telling me that about my poem, I had also believed I could be a poet, or I would not have even tried. I had to have enough self-esteem to even try, and the development of pride in a poetic accomplishment then led me to even greater self-esteem in that regard.
I could tell similar stories in regards to writing prose fiction and writing plays. I had some self-esteem, but recognition that a work was in fact very good — by someone whose opinions on such matters I respected — led to pride and to greater self-esteem. And, I think, better works.
Sadhguru Answers - How To Overcome Comparison and Low Self Esteem | Mystics Of India
But imagine if I had only ever had people tell me my short stories or poems were good. I promise you, that never happened. My works have received far, far, far more criticism than praise, and I have not had the publication record I would like. It’s important to know what you’re doing wrong, so you can fix it, so you can create something to in fact be proud of. And you’re not always the best one to determine what works and what doesn’t. That’s what teachers, colleagues, and critics are for.
Anyone who tells you that what you are doing is great, no matter the quality of the work, is not supporting you. In fact, unless it’s your mother or spouse (who are going to like anything you do), anyone who is always telling you how great you are should be suspected of sabotage. Because such a person is getting in the way of your growth and your improvement, preventing you by creating in you a false sense of pride.
And that’s exactly what our public schools do: sabotage our students by creating a false sense of pride. The result is their learning gets sabotaged, their life skills are sabotaged, and their work skills are sabotaged. We have people around whom we have to always walk on eggshells, lest we damage their “self-esteem.” But as we have seen, these people have no self-esteem at all. They don’t have a self anyone could esteem, including themselves. And the more experiences they have in the world, the more they come to realize that. And the more the resent it.
The problem is, they don’t know where this resentment comes from. They don’t know who made them feel this way, or why. And so they lash out at everyone. They take a few university classes from postmodernists and Marxists and learn to blame capitalism, beauty, truth, virtue, and even knowledge itself. Which only then contributes to the creation of false pride and false self-esteem — and to safe spaces, and the demands for the elimination of free speech, of freedom itself, and resorting to violence to achieve it all, since one’s feelings are all that matter.
8 Signs of Low Self Esteem
The “self-esteem” movement thus created people who have no self-esteem at all. Because if you want to create the opposite outcomes of something, hand it over to our public schools. They will be more than happy to take it, distort it, and destroy as many lives and minds as possible with it.
We should all develop self-restraint and self-confidence.
But esteem and respect are to be given solely to beliefs, thoughts, opinions and behaviors of goodness*, but not for the person themselves.
*: the mix of these three…
Transcendent love: a free gift of hoping for the virtuous betterment of the inner child-chooser within ourselves and others. It is unconditional with no expectations in return and frees us and others of our fears so we can gain confidence, understanding and skill without being angry or defensive.
Virtue: truthful, wise, logical, prudent, trustworthy, praiseworthy, self-restraint, lacking corruption, forgiving, organized, clean, caring, principled, wisely generous, humble, courageous.
Wisdom: allows us to avoid traps and guides us to success using accumulated insights into what works and what doesn’t work in life and relationships.
They would seem to be very closely related, but they are not. The reason is that self-esteem is a spiritual expression, and it comes from the heart, which is why so many people have low-self esteem; they connect totally with their ego-mind, not their heart.
How To ACTUALLY Improve Your Self-Esteem
Pride on the other hand is a function of the ego-mind. And oddly, it is not unusual for someone to have low self-esteem, be insecure, and yet have a huge ego and be very prideful. The reason is that thinking highly of oneself is how the ego-mind counters feelings of low self-esteem and insecurity. It is a coping mechanism. Of course there are many people who have low self-esteem and feel miserable; their ego-minds have not kicked in. Why this is so in some cases and not others i can’t answer. I do know that the worse the insecurity, the self-esteem, the greater the likelihood that the person will appear to have a huge ego.
The answer to this question of self-esteem is like almost all question on Quora. To move past these debilitating problems, one needs to free oneself from the control of your ego-mind and reconnect with your true self, which is your heart. This is a challenging task requiring discipline and patience because the ego-mind has great power over you. But the path is clear.

Is self confidence a pride?
I was once told a story about a young man who was a first-year medical student. One weekend, he returned to his hometown to visit his father, who, due to unfortunate circumstances, was recently admitted to an institution. While there, the young man came across the people who were staying on his father’s floor. The man struck up conversations with them, and they willingly shared the successes they achieved, the places they traveled, and the well-known people they met. After every conversation, the young man knew everything about them.
They had also made sure he remembered their names before he left. However, none of them asked for his name or what he did. The young man shrugged it off and assumed they knew he was his father’s son – the mayor’s son.

As he entered his father’s room, the young man declared, “Dad, these people are normal. There’s nothing wrong with them. I can’t understand why they are here.”
The father chuckled. He said, “Son, did you notice anything?”
The son shook his head no, trying to figure out what was amiss.
The father continued, “Son, ever since you got here, all they did was talk about themselves. We are all here because we can’t stop talking about ourselves.”
—
This story is not only humorous but also puts pride into perspective. Known as one of the deadliest sins, pride causes one to focus only on oneself while neglecting and devaluing others.
There is a measure of pride in all of us. Like debt, there is good pride and bad pride. First-time parents who talk about their newborn to everyone they meet is an example of good pride. A fashionista who looks down at another woman because she doesn’t wear name brand clothes is an example of bad pride. In the case of this article, we will focus on the negative pride that demeans, destroys, and devalues others.
There’s also a trend going on where many people are confusing pride with confidence, and vice-versa. I’ve attended many women empowerment conferences over the years. Each one has a similar message that instills self-confidence: “Know who you are, and never accept anything less than the best.”
Could You Elaborate On Ego Versus Healthy Self-Esteem?
So, when a woman (who suffered from low self-esteem all of her life) finally displays confidence in who she is and what she does, and doesn’t accept anything less than God’s best for her life, why do some people think she’s arrogant or prideful?
How can we tell the difference between pride and confidence? First, let’s define the two. According to the Oxford Dictionary, pride is defined as “the quality of having an excessively high opinion of oneself or one’s importance; whereas, confidence is defined as “a feeling of self-assurance arising from an appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities.”
Pride is an attitude that says, “I am better than you; and, I know more than you.” A person may not have to say those exact words, but anyone can spot a prideful woman through her demeanor. If we are not careful, pride can affect every aspect of our lives. Are you a prideful person? When you’re filled with pride people can’t relate to you. They avoid you because they don’t want to be around a person who condescends them. Who wants to be around a person who talks about themselves all day and makes others feel bad? A prideful person doesn’t receive input from others. She constantly craves attention from others. Her identity is based on her achievements and accolades.
However, there’s something about a woman who displays confidence. She knows who she is, and what she wants. She is not easily swayed by people’s perceptions of her. When a confident woman walks into a room, her presence is immediately felt by everyone. She doesn’t have to say anything. She shines her light without overpowering others. She’s willing to listen to others. A confident woman doesn’t seek attention, but if she receives it, she doesn’t dwell on it. She doesn’t make it a source of her identity.
What’s the solution to pride?
A man named Bishop Angelo Barbosa once said, “Don’t swallow your pride. Spit it out. The antidote to pride is humility.” Humility is not about having people take advantage of you. It’s about having a proper perspective and attitude about of oneself and others. We don’t know everything, and we can learn something new from everyone. To keep pride at bay, memorize a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him.”

What is Pride?
Pride is the pleasure or satisfaction which arises as a result of one’s achievements, the achievements of one’s close associates or qualities or properties that are admired by others. We feel proud when we have accomplished something great or when someone close to us has achieved success. Pride can also refer to the self-respect and your desire to be respected by others. This is a very natural human feeling.
Jordan Peterson: How to Gain Self-Respect
However, this emotion can be viewed both in a negative and positive way. If an individual feels so high and proud about an attainment and feels that he/she is superior to others, pride works negatively. When this happens, the particular individual may not feel like talking and hanging out with others but may prefer to be alone. When pride is taken as a positive trait, it acts as a motivating factor. If an individual is proud of his/her performances, he/she may always try to improve them. When a person truly feels proud of his/her skills and accomplishments, this invariably leads to self-confidence as well. A person can be proud of someone else’s achievements or success as well. Thus, pride can pave the way to success.
Difference Between Pride and Self Esteem
What is Self Esteem?
Self esteem can be defined as the confidence in one’s own abilities or worth. In other words, it is the way someone sees himself or herself and how worthwhile he or she feels. It composes of one’s beliefs about oneself and attitudes towards oneself. In psychology, the term self esteem is used to describe whether people like themselves or not. People with high self esteem think that they are good at things and are worthwhile whereas people with low self esteem think that they bad and not worthwhile. Different emotional states such as pride, shame, despair, triumph are all connected to self-esteem. It is sometimes also linked to conditions such as depression, bullying, and various disorders.
Psychologists typically consider self esteem as a long lasting personality trait, though short term variations can be observed in one’s outlook. Experiences in one’s life are considered to be a major source of self esteem; thus, one can have a high or low esteem based on what he or she has experienced in life. For example, a child growing in a background of abuse and violence may have issues with low self esteem whereas a child brought up in a secure and loving home may have a high self esteem.

It depends on how you use it. For example, I to l d my father I will not ask for his assistance. I didn’t go back home. It has been over ten years since I left his house. So, lol, he knows I can survive without his clans. Mind you, he taught me about integrity, honesty, doing good for others, etc. He was both good and bad to me. He never molested me or anything sexual. It was unfortunate I was his first-born child. My brothers came along later. When I was out in the open where I had no protection, I learned that people are nicer than he painted them to be. I’m aware that some people are deviant. I’m not that naïve.
I have healthy self-esteem. I got that from my effort, not from baseless praises or compliments. I know damn well that I’m capable. Of course, I know my limitation. I’m not going to say I can do NASA things or others. I can beat many average intelligent individuals and vice versa. I’m not that delusional. lol.
How does self-esteem relate to pride?
Pride vs Self-esteem
Pride is very different from self-esteem. Pride is simply defined as one’s feelings of excessive self worth whereas self-esteem can be synonymous to self-worth, but not necessarily that high. Hence, self-esteem is a stable level of self-worth. It is rather the aggregate sum of one’s feelings of worthiness.
Experts also say that self-esteem is a form of personal trait. It is greater than any single belief and is in fact bigger than anyone’s single feelings or emotions. On the contrary, pride is more of an attitude and because it is in excess, it is also accepted as a vice.

Pride is also regarded by most societies and religions around the world as a sin whereas self-esteem is just one of the normal traits that everyone has. In this regard, pride no matter is really bad, no matter what its level is while self-esteem even at high levels can still be good.
High self-esteem does not necessarily equate to pride. If you contest with anyone just to prove that you are right then that is pride. When you perform your dance really well in front of everybody because you believe that you are good then that is a show of high self-esteem. It is very much different compared to claiming that you are the best and that no one can defeat you in the dance. This misleading or misguiding thought makes the proud person suffer from, not just an overly high self-esteem (pride) but excessive amounts of it.
Self-esteem is usually expressed as a ratio or relationship between two factors. The higher factor (numerator) being an individual’s success over the lower factor (denominator), which reflects a person’s failures. This ratio is relatively unstable because failures, for example, can happen almost anytime. Self-esteem is usually seen or observed by virtue of one’s behavior. You will come to see if a person has a relatively high self-esteem if he or she walks down the aisle with oozing confidence even if he or she is a little fat. The show of confidence through walking heads up, straight and with a smile is a manifestation of a positive behavior as implicated by high self-esteem.
Because pride is self-esteem in excess, its formula is an overflowing success without looking into failures. It’s as if the person with pride is not capable of realizing that he or she is wrong (near perfect) and considers him or herself as always right. Self-esteem is when you feel good and you want everything around to be good as well. Pride is more of believing that you are not just good but the best and that you will strive more to become better than the best even sacrificing those around you.
Summary:
1.Pride is defined as a high regard to one’s self worth whereas self-esteem is just synonymous with one’s self worth and is most likely at a very stable level.
2.Pride is considered as an attitude or a vice whereas self-esteem is considered by psychologists to be a type of personal trait.
3.Pride is bad to the point of being regarded as a sin worldwide whereas self-esteem is not usually considered a sin in itself.
4.Self-esteem is the stable ratio of one’s success over failure whereas pride is an overflow of feeling good or right without regard to feeling bad or being wrong.
8 Proven Ways to Boost Your Self Confidence
How can I be confident without pride?
Many of the women I support in my coaching practice have a deep desire to feel more confident. At the same time, they also don’t want to come across as prideful.
They unwittingly believe that if they show up fully owning their gifts, they are not being humble. As a result, they dim their light and end up playing far smaller than they are truly capable.
The mistake my clients make, and one I see many women make, is they are confusing confidence with arrogance but they are not the same thing.
It has been my experience that those who come across as the most arrogant often have the most insecurities. Their arrogance is an attempt to mask the profound lack of confidence they feel deep down.
Truly confident people walk into a room with nothing to prove to anyone. They already know who they are. The arrogant or prideful person, on the other hand, often needs to make sure everyone knows how great they are.
There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Read on for 6 ways you can be confident without being arrogant.
Watch your words
Speaking as if you are better than anyone else is arrogance not confidence. Be mindful of the words you use when talking to others, including yourself. Condescending remarks create a sense of superiority over others, while self-deprecating words undermine your skills and abilities.
Acknowledge your areas of weakness
The truly confident person knows she is not perfect at everything. She willingly acknowledges her weaknesses and feels no shame because she knows how to operate in her zone of genius. Arrogance brushes aside any faults, pretending they aren’t there; confidence shores up areas of weaknesses so they don’t become liabilities.

Own your mistakes
It doesn’t feel good to make a mistake, especially for the recovering perfectionists in the room (raises both hands). But it’s not possible for you to always get it right. So when you make a mistake, own up to it and apologize without making excuses. Dismissing your mistakes makes you seem arrogant. While owning up to your mistakes even when it doesn’t feel good will help to grow your confidence.
Celebrate other people’s successes
Life is not a zero sum game. One person winning doesn’t mean there is less chance for you to win too nor does it make you a loser. When others around you are enjoying successes, celebrate with them because your only real competition is yourself. Your colleagues and friends are competitors only if you perceive them that way.
Notice your body language
Pay attention to how you are showing up in your body. When you walk into a room, hold your head up and walk tall. Stand with your feet firmly planted on the floor and avoid folding your arms in front of you. When you’re talking to someone make eye contact and be fully present. Listen don’t just wait to talk. And remember to smile J. These are small things but they go a long way in you feeling more confident.
Don’t take yourself too seriously
Adulting is hard 
so give yourself permission to get lost in play like you did when you were a kid. It’s okay to act silly and have fun from time to time. Experiencing the child-like joy that comes from not taking everything so seriously will remind you that you are far more than the sum total of what you do.
True confidence is birthed from within it doesn’t come from outside you. Learning how to deepen your self-confidence is an important part of you stepping fully into your power.

Pride or trying to boost self-esteem?
Here’s to you growing your confidence and rising into your greatness!
From my heart to yours,
Do you know the difference between pride and self-esteem? Here is my much contemplated response that I have taken years to come up with:
Pride is a feeling of excessive self-worth, and it does not by any means equate to actually loving yourself. For example, if you don’t like to be wrong and always eager to appear perfect to people, then that is pride. I would say it is a form of egotism. On the other hand, self-esteem is where you value yourself, regardless of what others may think of you, not necessarily in an egotistical fashion. If you truly appreciate who you are, you have high self-esteem: your value of yourself does not alter according to changes in your weight, others’ low opinion of you, or whatever does not affect your ‘being’.
Embarrassing to say, I’m a very proud person. I believe my pride is the fundamental source of my perfectionist character. I’m always anxious to come across perfect in all senses, be it my intelligence, my look, and so on. An example to demonstrate my high pride would be this: one of my strongest motivations to study hard during my A-level years was to get into a prestigious university, purely so others will not look down on me. Getting into a mediocre university would have killed my pride.
However, there is a vast chasm between my high pride and my low self-esteem. I can’t say I regard myself in high esteem, and particularly in terms of appearance. More often than not, I consider myself physically unattractive, which inevitably makes me conscious of my looks to a very unhealthy degree. Moreover, my focus in life is in the main on ‘becoming’ rather than ‘being’ – that is, I’m always trying to become something more, whilst not recognising and appreciating my present self.
Some might say this obsession with becoming something more fuels progress in life, but in effect this unhealthy obsession holds you back. You are so focused on what you want to become that it is hard to feel happy about your current situation. Think about Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby: the protagonist’s ongoing obsession with his dream of being back with his young lover Daisy traps him in the past, and he is never happy with his current self. Despite a great deal of progress and success he’s made (although illicitly), he seems to regard his life as a failure, and reclaiming Daisy back into his life is the only way to stop his years of emotional blight.
Daily Self Esteem & Self Worth Affirmations to BOOST CONFIDENCE!
High pride and low self-esteem is not a rare mix of emotions, though. I personally know some people who suffer from this seemingly odd combination of psychology. My idea is that having high pride often means you have high expectations of yourself, and when reality does not meet your expectations, it is easy to feel frustrated. Besides, just because someone ‘appears’ confident does not mean they really are confident with themselves. I am a perfect specimen of this. I like to voice my opinions, and am not afraid to do so. This outspoken personality has led many people to say I seem very confident (and headstrong!). However like I’ve said above, I suck at loving myself. I am by no means confident with who I am. Growing self-esteem while toning down my pride has proven a challenging task for many years. Will it be ever possible to triumph over the persistent sense of insecurity? I really don’t know.
The problem with the self-esteem movement as practiced in our schools is that it became completely separated — indeed, opposed to — this sense of pride. Rather, self-esteem was tied up with an idea that others’ success and rightful feeling of pride at that success hurt your own self-esteem, as though the fact that others can somehow proves that I cannot.
The belief that you can do something in no way means that it will be easy for you to do it. It doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily be interested in it. It doesn’t mean you’ll put in the work necessary to master it. And self-esteem in no way is the same as pride.
One of the problems is that people have mistaken the two. There are people out there who are supremely confidence in, say, their mathematical abilities, but who know next to nothing. I have certainly, in my years as an English composition teacher encountered university students who were supremely confident in their writing skills, but whose compositions bordered on being completely incoherent. They were told by their teachers they were great writers — no doubt, in order to boost their self-esteem — when in fact they were terrible writers. What the teacher boosted was their pride, not their self-esteem. They told them they had accomplished something rather than persuaded them that they could do it.
Anyone who tells you that what you are doing is great, no matter the quality of the work, is not supporting you. In fact, unless it’s your mother or spouse (who are going to like anything you do), anyone who is always telling you how great you are should be suspected of sabotage. Because such a person is getting in the way of your growth and your improvement, preventing you by creating in you a false sense of pride.
And that’s exactly what our public schools do: sabotage our students by creating a false sense of pride. The result is their learning gets sabotaged, their life skills are sabotaged, and their work skills are sabotaged. We have people around whom we have to always walk on eggshells, lest we damage their “self-esteem.” But as we have seen, these people have no self-esteem at all. They don’t have a self anyone could esteem, including themselves. And the more experiences they have in the world, the more they come to realize that. And the more the resent it.
The problem is, they don’t know where this resentment comes from. They don’t know who made them feel this way, or why. And so they lash out at everyone. They take a few university classes from postmodernists and Marxists and learn to blame capitalism, beauty, truth, virtue, and even knowledge itself. Which only then contributes to the creation of false pride and false self-esteem and to safe spaces, and the demands for the elimination of free speech, of freedom itself, and resorting to violence to achieve it all, since one’s feelings are all that matter.
Some people hold pride and self-esteen in disdain; however, all people should have those two as part of their make-up. If a person doesn’t have those, the quality of his work may go down.
I worked very hard when I taught school, I wanted my students to learn as much as they could in as many aspects as I could, I tried many projects just to get them interested and hold their interesr. Sometimes, I even tried to bribe them by giving something special, like even tossing a small piece of candy to those who did well. Boy, did the kids attention increase when they noticed what I was doing. Of, course this was in the eighth class only and not done frequently.
So I tried as many things that I could for them to soar in their learning. Therefore, when my principal called me into her office to tell me how high students achieve on there scholastic achievement tests, I was truly full of pride and, of course, my self esteem was right up there with it. No, I never even mention to my husband. Never, would I have said anything to anyone. My pride in myself was enough.
