What is meaning of someone is full of pride ?
Hey, fiends
Could someone help me to understand this word, please ?
Once upon a time there was a young woman who was full of pride.
I just can think of it as "someone that very proud in himself" is that right ?
Thank you.

Va a depender de todo el contexto del que estés hablando, puede ser de una manera positiva como lo estás diciendo "alguien orgulloso de sí mismo" como también puede ser catalogado como alguien soberbio (por ejemplo que esa mujer haya discutido con alguien y por "orgullo" no quiere pedir perdón)

I agree with the other comments, but wanted to note that in Christianity, "pride" is one of the seven deadly sins. So "full of pride" is probably a reference to that idea, that it is bad to have too much pride in oneself.

Hello,
In this context- pride is not a good thing.
“He was proud of his accomplishments” is a good thing. This means the person has a healthy opinion of themselves after years of hard work.
“There was once a prince who was full of pride”. This has a negative connotation in English. This could mean that the person thinks they are better than other people. It could also be that they are TOO proud of their accomplishments, family history, or appearance. Pride is often used to describe a person’s downfall or their weakness.
I hope that helped!
