Simplified Meaning:
When you get your feelings hurt and it stings, that's often your pride acting up. For example, imagine your friend criticizes your work on a project. Even if the criticism is meant to help, you might feel angry or hurt because you take it personally. This hurt is your pride getting in the way, making it harder to accept feedback without feeling bad. If you let pride take over, it can stop you from learning and improving. Instead of getting mad, try to take a step back and understand what is being said. This way, you can use the feedback to get better at what you're doing. It's important to recognize when pride is affecting your emotions so you can handle situations more calmly and grow from them.
