What’s something that makes you feel proud of yourself?

Question

I just read a question that reminded me of this and I kind of felt proud of myself.

So, when I met my ex, he was determined to stay a virgin and was planning to go to Tibet to become a Buddhist Monk very soon.

He met me though and fell for me, the rest is the history, he ended up being my first boyfriend, my fiancé and waited for me loyally for 2 years of long distance.

So, I was just thinking, I kind of, did humankind a favor by keeping an exceptionally hot man in the gene pool, somebody else’s granddaughter will thank me someday.

I stole a man from Buddha. 🤣

That’s something. Isn’t it?

I saved my friend who almost died from choking to death on pretzels when we were drunk back when I was in 9th grade. I was about to fall asleep and opened my eyes and saw his face changing colors from across the room. Saved another friend's mom's house from burning down when he fell asleep smoking and lit his bed on fire about 20 years ago. I dragged the burning mattress out of the house. I talked a few friends into giving up being a drug addict, kept a few people from ruining their own life in other ways. I have a weird talent for being in the right place at the right time. Last year something in the back of my head told me to look out the front door at work at 3 a. m. There was a homeless drunk old man sleeping in the gutter. It was dark and his clothes were the same color as the street. Nobody would have ever saw him, he was practically invisible. My coworker and I picked him up out of the gutter before he got ran over by a car. I've helped a lot of people in bad times and just in general. Burning mattress guy broke up with his girlfriend a couple years ago and he had to move to his mom's house in Arizona but had no money. I paid for the moving truck and drove all his crap 400 miles across the most lousy desert in the country so he wouldn't be homeless. I can honestly say I've changed a lot of people's lives for the better and only made a couple people's lives worse. I never did much for myself, though. I need to work on that. I did manage to never get arrested or go to jail, never been a drunk or drug addict, never depended on prescription pills for anything longer than a week, never got in debt, never hit a woman, never stole from my friends, and never beat anybody up who didn't deserve it.

I often experience a sense of relief rather than personal pride when I achieve something. This isn't to say I haven't felt pride before or won't feel it again, because I have and will. However, my pride always feels somewhat detached from my core self. I recognize that regardless of my skills, talents, or other factors in my favor, I don't attribute the success solely to my efforts. Instead, I acknowledge that it was often a matter of favorable circumstances or luck that contributed to the outcome.

Good thing to be a real Buddhist monk you require more time than a few meager years. He'd have been kicked out long before he came a monk.  As for myself... a lot more than that

You can be proud of yourself only when you achieve something or become better at something. I would say that i can be proud of myself because i was raised in a small dipshit town in Ukraine and now i am working abroad in aerospace industry making aviation safer.

Most people are just big shit talkers. They talk about their skills but never display it because it's not true.

I have always been very fortunate to have great hand eye coordination and problem solving skills which made me fall in to the driver profession.

In two different companies I was told by the most senior experienced personnel "I've worked here 30 years and have never seen someone that can drive like you." It makes me feel great but it can't be repeated because of people's instinct to be arrogant.

I’m not sure if this counts but I tend to over think things, it come in handy to solve a problem, make a double meaning joke or “get around the system”. I feel proud to find a loop hole that no one thinks of.

then again it has its cons.. when I’m a hurry to do something I tend to fall behind or forget about the thing I was just doing cuz I’m about the thing right now. And also with my turn ons it weird at first but it makes sense after explaining it and justifying.

Ehh... Maybe that I'm still a virgin? Its something to be proud of if you care about your religion, ifff you are religious lmao, which i am. So yeah that's 1.. I don't hurt people anymore, mentally or physically, but no. Nothing that big to be proud of. Maybe that i got an amazing girlfriend? That's probably the biggest achievement. Also long distance :)
