There is a cultural component to this - e.g., more egocentric (individualistic) societies tend to value assertiveness and self-regard, while sociocentric (collectivistic) societies tend to value empathy and being able to withhold own needs for the benefit of others (not really impulse control). The value system imbedded in our lives do emphasize such tendencies or ideals, so I guess they could be proud bc within their social context those were desirable characteristics.
What were the subcategories and which corresponded to what chakra? I guess too, from a developmental perspective, having empathy and forgoing own desires/needs is considered a higher level 'skill'. This is the development from being a child who only sees own needs to adulthood, where one must consider the needs of others. I also believe this development is associated with the symbolisms of the energy centers.
