Pride can be good when used to set standards for yourself. Pride can also be good when it boosts your identity or self-image while you achieve your goals.
But … pride has the potential to be proud’s evil twin.
If pride is used to feel superior to others, then pride is not so good. It’s in this instance that pride is referred to as one of the seven deadly sins.
