Pride makes a person think that he is the best, and only his opinion can be true. It is unacceptable from the point of view of religion, however, psychologists also assure that this character trait should be got rid of.
On the one hand, pride is an almost invincible sin, because a person in whose character this trait is present never gives up and is not able to accept the idea that he may be doing wrong. It is extremely difficult to convince him, or even more so to break him. On the other hand, although outsiders cannot cope with a proud man, he may well destroy himself, destroying his life and alienating everyone who loves and appreciates him. The path of pride is the path of loneliness.
Proud people often degrade. They do not accept criticism and sincerely believe that they are doing everything perfectly, and their ill-wishers are either envious or fools. At best, a person stands still, not moving forward, and at worst loses skills and knowledge. Even if a proud man achieves success, he is not able to keep it for a long time. Such a person does not learn from his mistakes and often steps on the same rake all the time, destroying his life. So an intelligent and talented actor can destroy his career without listening to the director, constantly being late for rehearsals and filming and sincerely believing that everything revolves around him only.
Pride can destroy personality and destroy good relationships. Few people are able to stay for a long time with an arrogant person who puts himself above others, because such a relationship is associated with constant humiliation, albeit silent. Quarrels with loved ones, constant conflicts at work, the destruction of love relationships - this is what, from the point of view of psychotherapy, awaits a person who is unable to get rid of his pride.
Psychologists warn against confusing pride and pride. A person should have self-esteem, he should love and appreciate himself. But at the same time, it is important to recognize the dignity of other people, to see and correct your mistakes, to improve. This is pride, not complemented by arrogance and selfishness.
