pRIDE IN ONE'S SELF IS OK ....BUT NOT IF IT DEVELOPS INTO CONCEIT

A person who displays excessive pride irritates others because, while others come to feel this person’s pleasant sentiment of pride (to some degree) via sympathy, they also feel a greater uneasiness as a result of comparing that great pride (in whose objects they do not believe) with their own lesser pride in themselves; this is why conceit is a vice.
