    Are you proud of yourself and what you've achieved in your life so far? Why or why not? Any specifics that you'd like to share?
     
    Not particularly. I've kinda gone with the flow my entire life, haven't accomplished too much, and that's fine by me. I've enjoyed the ride. I don't feel any overwhelming need to accomplish something great at the moment.
     
    I don't think I go around being prideful, but if someone tries to denigrate me I won't stand for it and that's when you'll see my pride. Most of the time I think I act humble, modest, etc. and keep my pride on the inside.

    I guess I'm proud that I went to college, traveled, and overcame some hardships. At the moment it's hard to feel pride for those things since for me they're just part of me and not much more deserving of pride than bathing and putting my shoes on the right feet.
     
    I haven't really done anything worthy of dubbing myself a 'proud' person. My basic accomplishments such as graduating high school, entering a respectable college, having a decent job, practicing independence etc can't really shape up a really proud person. At least that's the case for me. My higher aims --such as getting married, securing a stable career, etc-- will make me proud.
     
    Yes. I think I'm living up to my parents expectations. For a good portion of their lives, they wanted me to get into what's called one of the best high schools in America (although it's been shot with a cheating scandal lately... sigh). I got into that, and I'm really proud of myself, as I think are my parents, even though they're good at not showing it. I've also been able to make great friends, and I've been able to follow a straightedge lifestyle for a good while now. No cigarettes, no alcohol, no drugs. Are there better things that I should strive for? Yes. But I'm happy with what I've gone through. I do have a few regrets, but I've learned from them and moved on.
     
    I'm not a fan of pride in general, I think it leads to ugly traits in people so I try not to go around being 'proud' of myself. I like myself, I'm happy with myself, but I'm never proud.
     
    Considering I'm really weak when it comes to academics, just getting a good grade makes me happy xD Nothing much really though.
