Hi Kati,
 
Being proud of oneself is fine - you have done something to be proud of and so, be proud!
I passed my driving test today after 15 attempts; I �m really proud of myself. I finally told that bullying head teacher where to stick her job and I am proud of myself.
Being full of oneself is not good! This is a person who bigs themself up all the time. I am wonderful! My sense of humour is the best! I am so clever, if I say so myself! This is a person who is full of him or herself; always showing off. I can �t imagine anyone saying �I am full of myself � as it is a criticism.

Here is a funny song about someobe you would describe as �full of oneself �: Oh Lord it�s hard to be humble

Cheers
