Good day Fellow Mylotters, A while ago, me and my friend is having some discussion about people's pride. That because of having too much pride and misused of this attitude, some people don't want to accept that they must do an apology to their fellow. As a result, those small miscommunications leads to a big one. Hence, this is usually happens to those people who are being eaten up by their pride. Because of the wrong usage of pride, relationships are ruined as well.

When I was a high school student, I was pride. Once I had a quarrel with my best friend, later I realized that I was wrong, but I didn't have the courage to say apology to her, we didn't speak with each other for a long time, we insisted for almost half year, till one day, I took up my courage and said sorry to her, until that time, I found it's not that difficult to say sorry. I was just too pride. Now I am an adult, whenever I found I had to say sorry to someone, I often did it soon, I think that means I grow up.

Some people who have the too high pride can really ruin the relationships. They just simply don't accept the facts of being a failure. I don't like people who can admit that they are not also perfect.

The pride is to let you know the worth of being a real person. We can't do things that it is not acceptable to us. Nobody can’t force us to be ruled by other people.

I think friendship is a quite strong relationship, however it can be frail sometimes. For example, when we are in trouble, our true friends will never leave us and help us to cheer up. However, if we do not pay enough attention to care about our friendship, it may be ruined by our carelessness. It is hard to develop the friendship, therefore, we need to be more cautious to protect it.

That is definitely true. Pride ruins relationship. And pride actually is the greatest sin. Many have been the victims of this pride. It is pride wherein the fallen angel was thrown to heaven too. Hope people will be aware of what it will bring. Thanks for this. God Bless

I hate people like that. I think you should never allow your pride to come in the way or relationships. Often, people are jealous of someone else's success. For example, a guy I know was really in the love with this girl. But since she was more successful than him, professionally, he could not take it. You know what he did. He went on and married someone else after a 3 year long relationship. Why because of his ego and pride. Broke the poor girl's heart.

I have seen relationships fail because one could not bend down. So really, one no one wants to give in and say, "ok let's compromise", then the relationship would surely fail. Couples should learn to listen to each other and understand each other all the time. If communication is not as good, that is also a cause of a failed relationship.

My boyfriend usually had a high pride and we usually get into break ups because of that.But thank goodness we are still together now. Yes when pride gets along the way it is very hard, and it is much harder when both of you don't want to lose.I think our relation with my boyfriend last because i do understand him, i am always the one who'll apologize and say sorry coz i know he will never do.It's just a matter of understanding someone.I really know my boyfirends attitude that's why i am able to handle him with his pride.

Well pride is indeed important to a person hence it should be used in proper way and form.A person with to much pride for their selves should also know how to be humble enough to accept their faults and mistakes to avoid any misunderstanding and miscommunications in the end that might lead into something bad.Balance is really important.

Pride is not good for anything it just ruins the life and the relations. People with pride definitely cant be happy for a longer time, as they loose everyone . yes some people just find it difficult to apologize even if the fault is on their side. They are too difficult to bear for a long time.

For some people, pride is all they have left. They may not have their jobs anymore, not even money, house, even family but what's left with them is their self worth and pride. Of course, keeping your pride or not depends on the situation. If its something between a married couple there are times that you shouldn't let pride get in the way of love and reconciliation. It's really a matter of determining when and where your pride should be put into play.

That was very common nowadays. Mostly man possess that pride or what they called it ego. I am not the kind of woman who tolerates my guy of using and uplifting his pride. I am after a guy whose willing to toned down his voice same with his pride. Though I want a guy who has a sense of authority but not to the point that he is misusing his pride with me.

ya i am agree with this point. some people lost their relationships because of pride and it is really painful decision when meet this kind of situation. well i cannot say which is correct but i think base on the situation, good use of pride may make you lost a friend but i think it is good to end the relationships if your friends thinking is really out of your view or you can say his thinking is 'bad'. maybe it is a lose of losing friend but as long as you think it worth it then never feel regret for doing so. and for some case, some people too 'ego' on saying his pride is good and end up argue with people, then i think he need to think more carefully and don't just trusted too much on ownself because sometimes we need to think more before we do to prevent ourselves hurting people or doing wrong. well these are my point of view so i hope i do help in this discussion.
