Pride is comparative not superlative.

Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.

C. S. Lewis

…

The median is the midpoint of a distribution: by definition, 50% of a group falls above it and 50% below it. So, it is statistically impossible for more than 50% of people to be above the median at any skill. Yet when researchers ask people whether they are above average at activities such as driving, they often find that more than 50% say they are. This tendency to see ourselves as better than others suggests that pride may have less to do with how good we are and more to do with how good we believe we are relative to others.
