The pride area is interesting because it’s not just the flashy pride that shows up as some kind of puffing up. It can also be the kind of pride that just flips over and we get down on ourselves: “I’m terrible, I can’t do this!” You’re down on yourself. It’s the same energy gone under so it doesn’t look like pride. You want to be somebody better, somebody who doesn’t have that kind of extreme narcissism. Just receive that. Don’t try to be somebody else. Be who you are, which may be terrifying, AND if you find out that there isn’t anyone, then there’s nobody terrified there’s just the terror.
