Can someone with shame have pride? Why or why not? What must come first pride or shame; shame or pride? Can someone have both at the same time?

Someone with excessive pride may not be able to feel shame. After all, anything bad that happens is always someone else's fault. But someone with a healthy, balanced view of life has a reasonable measure of pride, which does not exclude the capability of feeling shame when appropriate.

You could have pride about how your raised your children - and shame about how you are doing in a class you are taking. Many situations in our lives will bring us pride or shame - so yes - you can have both going on at the same time. (but probably not about the same situation)
Namaste!

Also shame is not necessarily a conscienceness of guilt. Sometime it is merely a fear of getting caught.

I feel you really have to humble yourself before you can have shame.
