    Any pride which implies superiority over others is douchebaggery. Especially when based on exclusivity of group membership for things you didnt earn yourself. Or anything used to shame others.

    Being proud you made yourself work out every day is good. Saying you are proud that you have a better body than most is douchbaggery. Being proud that your wife is hot is douchebaggery. Being proud that your city made the playoffs is douchebaggery. Being proud of yourself that you worked hard and are financially stable is fine, especvially if you keep it to yourself. Being proud that you are rich is douchebaggery.
    Being proud of the price of your car is douchebaggery.

    Theres nuance there, I’ll leave it to you to figure it out. I think if your pride is intended to make others feel lesser then you can do better.

      You are assuming having pride means you put down others accomplishments, but that’s not always the case. You can be a fan of a sports team and still not hate the opposing team.
