I try to make myself proud.

Nobody but me :)
-
no that would be a very selfish reason to do something if you're only doing something for someone elses approval why even bother
-
I do things that make ME proud. If someone else thinks so, too..ok! :)

Yes, I workout 7days a week for 60 minutes each time. 30 minutes at the gym in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening on my exercise bike. I also try to eat nothing but healthy food all the time. I do this to make my husband proud whenever we go out together.
-
Yes, my daughter & my deceased grandparents
-
Yup ^^ It makes me feel better and they feel good too
-
No, I try to do what's right. I don't think pride has anything to do with it.
-
No, I don't. I do things that are right and just.

If I'm with my Gram yes, I do my best to reflect well on her. There may be a few other people and situations I stay very aware of what I am doing to do the family/work proud... but overall I try to live my life so *I* am satisfied with what I do. The hardest part for me is keeping a balance: work, family, family maintenance. I feel very good/proud when I've finished the day meeting the important needs of all 3. :) I hope it makes them proud, too.
-
yes , sadly i do it all the time
-
I did and found that it only works if I'm proud of myself first in order for others to be proud of me + 5 Good question

Actually, I don't. But I would like my son to be proud of me...I wouldn't want to embarrass him in any way. My partner is proud of whatever I do..he is such a sweetheart. As for family and friends, I honestly don't think much about it. When I was a little girl I wanted my parents to be proud of me, of course, so I studied very hard to get good grades. But they're gone, I'm an adult, so I don't need anyone's approbation any more. :)
-
I did. Now not so much
-
No. When I do things I do them for myself or others. If it makes someone else proud of me then that's a bonus.
-
No. I used to just live that way, my whole life. It blew up in my face recently as my close friends accused me of lying to them and hiding my real thoughts out of fear. I thought about it, and they were right. That was a sucky feeling. Now I try to avoid it whenever possible. ;)
