Yah I think everyone can agree about the pride thing, I know I certainly can. My mom portrays herself that she is a extremely confident individual to everyone, including my family. What's sad is she is the most insecure person I know and she definitely doesn't realize that by over compensating her insecurities by appearing confident, that people can see through her "mask." Maybe not most of the people she interacts with in public, but my brother and I do see past that.
I know she sees apologizing as a sign of defeat/weakness when in reality being able to be vulnerable in a sense & take accountability/ownership when you were in the wrong actually is a sign of true self confidence in my opinion. She won't know anything about something you actually know quite a bit about and can prove her wrong factually, but she'll act as if she knows more about it. It used to bother me that she's like that but now I think it's pretty funny in a positive way for myself to not let it get to me. That behavior to me isn't necessarily a "normal" sense of pride. I hate when im wrong about something but once I realize it, I right my wrong by apologizing.
