Why do I have so much pride?

[Anonymous]

How can I get rid of it?

i realized I have too much pride just now.
My sister hurt herself & is having trouble walking.

She asked me to go get her something to eat... I had too much pride to just say yes.
I said “Fine, since I’m hungry too.”

I’m not.. not at all..
It was just an excuse I guess?
Then she said “thank you”

I had too much pride to say you’re welcome
So I said “Yeah yeah” ..

How can I change this?

It sounds like you don't know what pride is. Helping someone is something you should be doing if there is no real effort required especially if they are family. Proudness should only prevent you from doing bad acts not good. Doing good acts that you want to do is something to be proud off. But you shouldn't be obligated to do everything people want, there is a middle ground you need to find so you don't get exploited for your good nature. Same goes for accepting help, nothing bad in letting people help even if you don't need it.

Get a Bible and start reading. You want to be a changed person then you have to know what it means to have love in you. And that starts by knowing what love is. But it is also your choice in letting it go. If you don't let go, you will just be consumed by it. If it leads to further unhappiness, that means you need to change.
