Been to a situation where you have to swallow your pride?

I seem to find myself in this situation regularly. I'm learning slowly to not be so concerned about it. Pride goes before a fall, as it's said, so if mine has been trampled, maybe I won't fall quite so hard! Still, it can be tough to deal with.

if you don't swallow ur pride, how can you move on and start something new.

been there too. you know, i am into a situation now that i feel i have no rights to talk, even if i am the father and husband of this family. that when i even feel i am disrespected, i should not tell anyone that it could probably start a misunderstanding again.

If we don't all learn to eat our pride, this world will surely be a chaotic one. No one will have to step it's pride just so they won't look stupid, know all people mostly don't eat their pride and would end up being the loser. I am a person full of pride but I know how to swallow it when really needed.

Many times. Especially on the romantic aspect. I don't mind lowering it in order to settle matters. My boyfriend does too sometimes so I guess we're even.

it is hard but I know I am not always right or wrong. So when there are times that someone brings up a valid point. I am willing to swallow my pride.

I believe that almost everyone has come to a point in life where they have to swallow their pride. i know that i have. This usually involves an unpleasant task or favor that we would rather not have to go through but we must. it is that first moment of acceptance that is the hardest to conquer.

Yes indeed, a couple of times. Granted it is not that often but it is still happened and I would imagine that if it happened again, where I had a situation where I had to swallow my pride, it was not going to be any easier to say the very least. There are just a lot of times where something happens and I don't really want to deal with it, but we do in fact have to deal with it. Still there are going to be a time where we all have to just take a nice step back and figure out what's, what. We need to completely swallow our pride and we need to deal with the situation. I have found that the sooner I swallow my pride if the situation calls for it, the better off, the better off everything would be. Never easy but that's just the way things go.

If the situation calls for it, why not? Like for example, i would have to ask my parents to lend me money in order to pay the big tuition fee of our daughter, then i would do it. Sometimes, we really have to swallow our pride in order to be able to have something for the benefit of many.

Hello, yes, that is true there is some instance that you have to do that for the better of the situations. right? Yeah, I can felt that it is really bitter and really hurt inside but I dont have choice but to choose what is the last thing to do.

I swallowed my pride for about 20 years, tried to keep my mouth shut and not to be beaten up again. Not really something to laugh about and I got the feeling it's not exactly the same as what you are talking about. There is nothing wrong with pride and self esteem as long as you know yourself very well. I learned a lot since then and to me, me is more important as anything else in the world.

i've been to tough situations where there is no other way but to swallow your pride, i look myself as high as i can so dont really bow down to anyone, even saying sorry even if it's my fault, i stand my ground. but well there really are times where you should take the next step and change your way of living. There is this time when i was in 5th grade and i was blamed for something i didnt even know happened. My teacher well maybe she is in a bad mood or something he forced me to say sorry and shouted at me and since im an honor student, she said this line in front of the class "are you really an honor student?" and she said more things that i wouldn't mind sharing but it's tiring. bottom line is, pride is not your life, you can live without it.
