[quote=Anonymous]It's a relative status thing. Being proud of someone with higher status is sycophantic. Being proud of someone with lower status is patronizing... which is fine, if you are their patron (boss coach, teacher, parent). Most people are just using the words without thinking much about it. You when your peer is proud of you, it makes them looks like they think they are above you. [/quote]
