I’ll be explaining the difference between being proud and prideful.

What is the difference between being proud and being prideful

One holds more baggage than the other. Proud is typically an emotion that can be had in abundance while pride might be seen as living in the past. On expired credit for lack of better figured speech. It’s not good or bad to experience either, but wallowing can be counterproductive.

Proud Can Be Either Positive or Negative

Being proud can either work in your favor or against you depending on how it’s perceived.

It’s having a reasonable thing to show admiration for an achievement or something similar.

For example, a healthy sense of pride is when someone builds a side hustle from the ground up.

They feel that way from earning gained skills, confidence, and independence in the process.

A good rule of thumb I recommend is celebrate the moment as it presents itself.

But focus more on chasing the next celebration-worthy moment to keep life grounded.
