why it is soooo hard to deal with a PRIDE???

i am one with very high pride. Sometimes I really hate it. When I broke up with my boyfriend, there wasn't any night that he say sorry and that he wants to get back with me. I'd tell him I don't want him anymore but deep inside I wanted to. now that he's one... i'm missing him so much... i hate this damn pride...

too much pride will kill you., each and every one of us has each on pride and we keep protecting it. if somebody will step on our pride we will really argue for the seek of it. but though we have our own pride, we must know how to dealt it.

Attitude disorder? I don't think so. I am a very "proud" person in the way that you describe. I do have a problem with letting arguments go, especially related to ex-boyfriends. I have a method, however, of compensating for my stubbornness. What I do is, I will rant and lecture on and on until it is all out of my system, go away for a second and let off some steam and then come back and smooth things out in a more civil and understanding tone. I could usually get my girlfriend to laugh and smile by the end and that is a win for me, in my opinion. I know there is probably a better way to deal with this problem but I am only human. I experience strong emotions just like everybody else. I think it is a sign that I care. Obviously, the person on the receiving end doesn't feel that way at first though lol We have just got to do whatever we can to make a good thing last before we screw it up with our emotions.
