'''Pride''' is a human [[Emotion|secondary emotion]] characterized by a sense of satisfaction with one's [[Identity (philosophy)|identity]], performance, or accomplishments. It is often considered the opposite of [[shame]] or of [[humility]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/pride |title=PRIDE synonyms |website=Merriam-Webster |access-date=2023-12-01}}</ref> and, depending on context, may be viewed as either [[virtue]] or [[vice]]. ''Pride'' may refer to a feeling of satisfaction derived from one's own or another's choices and actions, or one's belonging to a group of people. Typically, it is a product of [[praise]], independent [[self-reflection]] and/or a fulfilled feeling of [[belongingness|belonging]]. 

Other possible objects of ''pride'' may include  one's [[Racial pride|ethnicity]], [[sexual identity]] (for example, [[LGBT pride|LGBTQ pride]]), [[Nation|national]] or regional identity, or other affiliations (for example, proud to be a [[university]] [[alumnus]]). It may also refer to foolhardiness<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hubris|title=hubris|website=Merriam-Webster|access-date=3 April 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406134932/http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hubris|archive-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> or a corrupt, irrational sense of one's personal value, [[social status|status]], or accomplishments<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Pride and Authenticity|last=Steinvorth|first=Ulrich|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|year=2016|isbn=9783319341163|location=Cham|pages=10}}</ref> and in this sense can be used [[synonym]]ously with [[hubris]] or [[vanity]].

While some [[philosophers]] such as [[Aristotle]] (and [[George Bernard Shaw]]) consider pride (but not hubris) a profound [[virtue]], some world [[religion]]s consider pride as a form<ref>{{Citation |title=LGBTQ |date=2024-10-21 |work=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ |access-date=2024-10-24 |language=en}}</ref> of [[sin]], as stated in [[Book of Proverbs|Proverbs]] {{bibleverse|Proverbs|11:2|nobook=yes}} of the [[Hebrew Bible]]. In [[Judaism]], pride is called the root of all evil. In Catholicism, it is considered one of the [[seven deadly sins]]. When viewed as a virtue, pride in one's abilities is known as virtuous pride, greatness of soul, or [[magnanimity]], but when viewed as a vice, it is often known to be self-[[idolatry]], sadistic contempt or [[vainglory]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Babblu |first=Sambi reddy |date=2021-07-17 |title=PRIDE |url=https://medium.com/@vsrvangala2002/pride-cf1461083cb9 |access-date=2024-11-20 |website=Medium |language=en}}</ref>
