i may have made the wrong choice

True, it is very tough especially if you are not actually aware that you are being prideful even if it is affecting your emotions and thoughts...

But the important thing is, is that you're reflecting and admitting that you may have made that wrong choice. Now all you can do (since everything is already done and over with, brooding is pointless) is learn from it, or fix it if it's at all possible. We all make mistakes and that is perfectly normal, but it is still up to you to learn from that mistake and try to right the wrong!

Hope this helped out at least a tiny bit... Cheers!

you're right

thank you for that

Yes when I was younger I did it all the time and the result of some of those decisions put me in a hole but some made me stronger.

Of main profile image?

No argument there.

Yes, I make a lot of decisions out of pride and sometimes I may be cutting my nose off to spite my face. I dropped out of university a couple of times because I thought that I was smarter than they were and that there wasn't anything useful that they could teach me. The whole thing has been an excersise in humility and now I'm almost there but I'm taking a break for a while because I don't feel ready to write a dissertation. I want to do as well as I can and not feel like I did last year when I just muddled through because I was too distracted by things that were going on in my personal life. That's pride as well but tinged with humility because I don't think that I'm so brilliant that I can do it just now and it's taken me this long to get this far, so it taking another year or two doesn't seem so bad.

There are other things that I want to do but don't really like to because of pride or fear perhaps. On the other hand, I often do things without worrying about it at all and maybe I have to deal with embarrassment but this is my message to you, Oh my brothers and sisters. Do one stupid thing every day and learn to stop caring that people think that you're a dipshit.

I agree with CC. Although I would add: think pragmatically act even more pragmatically!

And CC, brooding is the sexy man's pout!

we still loves ya

.all the time.. I fire people if they don't take" pride" in their work.
it is a direct reflection upon me.
. and I am very prideful...hmm.
. that nail head isn't quite flush enough you're fired....

I have a complex about using toilets. And yes it has something to do with an incident that took place when I was a child. I'll feel okay about going to the bathroom, if I'm on my own, but if someone else is with me in my home, or if I'm at someone's house, I'll instantly clam up about going. I think it's fear that I'll have an accident as bad as before, because I was in abnormal pain.

In my youth I have let pride dictate how I reacted and to a point i still do but as I've gotten older I seem to shrug most of it off unless you say something bad about my dog.. then It's on like donkey kong. lol.
Has pride held me back. I dont believe so it shows a determination in doing something no matter how many hurdles are put in the way. Too much pride to be called a quitter.

ooo I am sooo sorry please big your big strong finger right on that nail and show me where to hammer :)
