Does the usage of the word "proud" (骄傲, 自豪, or 而荣) in Chinese differ from that in English? I know this is going to get closed because it's more philosophical in nature but it's something that's brought up (subtle Asian traits, if curious)
Is the word proud is rarely used in Chinese culture and so does such a word truly exist in Chinese?

骄傲: proud
自豪: proud
而荣  (?) (why does this mean proud? dictionary entries don't mention this)
