Pride often acts as an invisible prison, keeping us from growth, connection and authenticity while we protect our carefully crafted image.

• Pride can be healthy (self-respect, dignity) or unhealthy (ego, defensiveness, image obsession)
• Unhealthy pride creates a cage that limits our potential and happiness
• Pride manifests as refusing help, hiding mistakes, dismissing feedback, and avoiding vulnerability
• The "kid on the bench" syndrome: turning down opportunities to protect our image, but only hurting ourselves
• Pride affects our brain chemistry - activating both reward systems and fear responses
• The difference: pride says "I have to be admired to be valuable" while self-worth says "I am valuable even when I'm messy"
• Breaking free starts with small acts of vulnerability: admitting mistakes, asking for help, apologizing first
• The cage isn't locked - we have the key the whole time
