What feeling proud is like
Pride is satisfaction in something you did, or in someone close to you. It's the warm feeling after finishing something hard, or watching a child or friend do well.

Proud looks back at something achieved. Confident looks ahead, trusting you can handle what's next. Read more about feeling confident.
