Can i be proud of myself?
last month marked my first year of independence. i have been brought up in a closely knitted family with the most traditional values you could imagine in a simple town back in the province. at first, my decision to live alone shocked my parents. they were very strict and very concerned that i would not be able to make it. i got a job in the city 7 hours away from home, rent my own bills, have my own credit card,,,you know, i became responsible with practically everything.
my mother keeps on calling me to come home. i'm 26 years old already and i have my own life.
i haven't accomplished much, but can i be proud of myself?

Yes, if you're not... no one else being proud of you will matter. What you have done a lot of people can't do.
Enjoy your own space.

well you can be proud but you are a grown person its not like you are a child,. I was 17 when I left home I had no moral family but only a dysfunctional one that tried to kill me and even worse. I am on my own and pay my own bills for years now longer than you have been alive. with my own self I survived. are you proud of me? O O O I also raised 2 wonderful children who are highly educated and happy. how bout that?

You most certainly can and should be proud of yourself. You have cut the apron string and gone into the big world to show not only yourself but everyone that you a now a mature adult, Certainly it isn't cheap living on your on but at your age this independence is much needed. Keep up the good work.

Of course you can. If you're happy then you should be proud of what you have done in your life.

you have gained self confidence & self respect by your actions, you should feel proud of yourself, even if you feel you have achieved little, however you should not let your pride turn to EGO........also now you should set a goal for yourself.
