Are you allowed to be proud of someone else and their achievements? Of course you are but how does the other person feel? Does it matter? Is pride of someone else designed to make us feel better or feel like some how we are apart of their accomplishments? So if a parent says to a child that they're proud of them, this sounds fine, but if I shake someone's hand who's just won an award at the office for being best employee or something, that seems a little strange to me... But it's not wrong... So I conclude with the question, what makes you 'proud' of someone elss. Is it right to be proud outside of a very close /authoritive figure relationship?
What can be so weird about simple friendly gesture? Still, I guess everything in moderation applies to this too.
