Sounds like textbook pride. Not like, "My child is my pride and joy!"

But more along the lines of, "You're a prideful person with no room for any outside input that doesn't already align with what you've already latched onto, and in the face of evidence that should shake up your beliefs, you refuse it and insist upon yourself as being more correct than data, evidence, wisdom, etc."

The latter kind of pride is often underlying those who claim to be "telling it like it is," and it's more about them feeling morally or intellectually superior, than actually being right. Their "rightness" is usually contextually dependent at that.

That's just my 2 cents from seeing the pride in myself and in others. And having reality slap us in the face and refuse to bend to our version of it.
