I take the most pride in trying not to be prideful...
I take pride in my humbleness and modesty. I never brag about how great I am.
Feed your cat!
I'm a simple man. I'm 'proud' of really simple things. I'm proud that I've never smoked (No offense to anyone here that does).
Then.... I don't talk about this much, for reasons, but, I have a bunch of medical conditions, some very rare no one hears of. People look at me and think I must be slow, but I'm not, so I've never had many offline friends (Except ex coworkers at one job... those people were awesome!)
On top of that, one of my biggest problems is I have a really bad foot. It used to just hurt after I was on it too long, but after 14 years of working (I started working when I was 14) I couldn't do it anymore, and had to have surgeries and go on disability.
How is any of that relevant to this?
Just me being a simple man:
I'm proud of myself that I worked as long and as hard as I did. I would work long days on my feet, several in a row, finally have a day off, ready to rest my foot, and my boss would call me in. And 95% of the time, I would go. (And that happened a lot.) I don't remember thaaaat well about my first job(s) (Same store, different location) but at my second job, where I worked from 2008-2015, I only called off for BS reasons 3 times. And the only day I ever called off because of foot pain was the day I knew I was done working, I knew I just couldn't do it anymore.
I am also proud of myself that I take care of my money and my bills. ..... I love my mom very much, but she isn't the greatest role model for taking care of money. And maybe that's why I'm better, because I've seen what it does to you.
My boyfriend who is german would argue that I'm still not great with money, and he might have a point, but my bills get paid. They are always my first priority in the month.
Oh and I guess honesty
For example:
Last year I went to a concert with my sister, my favorite band, Matchbox Twenty. Because of a settlement with Ticketmaster, AFTER I had bought the tickets, I found out that show was covered, and so I found these people that my sister is friends with and I'm aquanted with, and asked if they wanted to go. Last minute, they found out they couldn't, so we still had free tickets. It crossed my mind, to ask my other sister and her husband. She lives at a different part of the state, but we both would have had to drive about the same amount. So, I asked her and she came.
At the end of the night, she tried to give me $50, for the free tickets. -and I'll admit, I was poor at the time (Had just gotten back from Germany a week before) -But after 5 seconds of debating with myself internally, I knew I couldn't take it, and gave it back to her, explaining that the tickets were free.
Those are the kind of things I'm proud of.

I would have to say that I'm proud of the fact that after years and years of angst toward my family that I had decided to take responsibility for my own actions and feelings and let go of the pain they'd caused me. That I decided that I wanted to live my life as a full person and not as a victim. After seasons of negativity and irresponsibility on my part, I had finally had a nervous breakdown(hearing voices, having delusions, hallucinating, dissociating - all kinds of psychotic nastiness) and after four months of an acid trip my mother sent me to a hospital an hour away. The doctor told me the voices weren't real, told me where I really lived, who I really was, nobody was going to hurt me, and that I was indeed very much still alive, and that he would give me some medicine to help me feel better and after a few days we'd discuss it. That was in April of 2008. Thanks to that medicine and the support from the medical team I have recovered from all of those symptoms. However, I still combat illness but it isn't anything like it was. I found self-worth and became a person I love and respect. I decided to take no more crap from anyone, especially bullies, and am at the happiest times of my life. I'm proud of the fact that my self-responsibility forced me to do some investigating into my identity and what I wanted to shape it into. Continually, I strive to be better than I was yesterday. Because of group and individual therapy I have learned that I am doing my best AND I can do better! Not but! And!
Because of becoming a whole person I was able to go toward my passions more deeply with the understanding that I'm continually pushing my potential and there is always room for improvement. And to understand that I'm worthy and no more or less than anybody else. I have embraced being ordinary. I'm not afraid of losing. Sometimes the thoughts pop up - but I remind myself that even in failure there is a lesson in everything and that if something doesn't work now there's something better waiting for me on the other side! And sometimes the gem of it isn't reaching the goal but preparing to receive it.
So yeah, there's my wall of text.
I'm also proud of my ability to see through bulls***.

What I'm most proud of? That I ain't dead, yet.
When I read the title my mind when in a way different direction than the replies. But heck, it's still one of my proudest moments.
A couple years ago my husband (then boyfriend) and I were really into Magic the Gathering and would play competitively at Friday Night Magic pretty much weekly. There was a shop a few towns over that was notorious since most of the regional level players played there and we decided to play there one night. I beat one of those regional players and he was so salty he called the judge to try ruling against me but my play was valid/correct (I Spellskite, he Spellskites, I let it resolve, his Spellskite is now the target - he can't redirect elsewhere)
I heard from some of the guys afterward that he especially frustrated because he didn't make it through regional but I don't doubt that being beaten by a jank green/red ramp into explosions deck and by a girl really rubbed that salt into the wound.

I'm proud of the loyalty shown by so many in my online life. I get down and out on some days, feeling of little worth; but then they lift me back up. Amazing. Truly.

I'm proud of myself that I changed my life around after going through a lot of hardships some even traumatic sadly. I've been hurt and let down so much by people in person and online I came to the point if I have no relations with others in a friend or romantic way I'm alright with it. It may be bad saying that but I've been through a lot so I think I'm entitled to my feelings on the matter. I will however still try to talk to people and try to help them if can if they need any assistance. Though if nothing more comes out of it then I'm good.
I'm proud to be a citizen of New York.
