If someone calls you prideful, is that a compliment or an insult to you?

I think this depends on your beliefs.

I don't know a darn thing about Christianity, but I understand "pride" is a 7 deadly sin. Pride is not to be mistaken for proud by the way. The fact they called you prideful could have been an insult if it was a Christian saying it since pride (stubbornness) is one of the main causes of conflict.

Having pride in your work is a good thing since it shows you're very dedicated to it. Having pride in your family means that you are very devoted to them. So pride has its positive uses too. And again, it is not the same as being proud. I'm a proud father, and I take pride in being a father; but they are not the same thing.

I think context is important to know if it was an insult or not. Words can honestly mean anything we want them to. Even the best compliments could be satire or sarcasm. And even the best insults can be a kind gesture. Times are weird.

Prideful? I think it depends on the person's own beliefs. Some people may take it as a compliment or an insult. For me it would be a compliment.

Never chose best answer on this?

I think if someone calls you prideful it is an insult. But should you care that it is an insult? Depends on if what triggered it was you defending a strong belief that you are immovable on or not. If it is a strong belief you won't change, then they can call you anything you want! But if it is petty and you were being petty then an apology to them is in order and you should be more humble.

I think it depends on the context. Being prideful in general isn't a bad thing I don't think, it just means that you won't lower yourself to certain actions or standards and you like to maintain your dignity. If the person who said it to you was in a neutral mood but you have personal experiences with them, try and think about situations where you may have shown prideful behaviour around them, and what the situations out come was. If you were prideful and the other person got hurt from this, they probably mean it as an insult, and vice versa.

A Seriously Bad Insult

I don't think it is a compliment or an insult ! It is a charector !

Depends if a situation led up to that or if it's just the norm start excepting fault and apologize when your wrong

Depends on who says it to you.

If it's a guy saying it to you because you have standards, then he's in the wrong.

its not even a word you dumbo

it depends on what made the person say that
