How to use pride as an attractive trait?

[Lover]

As I'm finally recovering from my latest breakup, I can feel that my pride is slowly returning to me. What I did wrong before the breakup was that I hid my pride instead of being honest and authentic about it (which also made me invulnerable). I think I was afraid of losing face with my fwb, but I was also doing what I could to please others and not piss them off. I might have had some kind of internal battle between my own satisfaction vs. others'. But I know that deep down I can't keep hiding my true self. My pride has been a part of me for a long time and a big motivation to push myself back in my teen days (sports and studies in particular). I have reached a point where I don't really care if people in general find it attractive or disgusting. I wanna embrace it and "radiate" it through my vibe. People can take it or leave it because my pride is a genunine part of who I am. But I won't get girls by just being proud or using it in the wrong way.

How do I make my pride come off as an attractive trait rather than unattractive and asshole-ish?
