Is there a word to express self-made pride?
Kinda something along the lines of integrity, so not boastful pride, but the sense of honest, honorable self-made satisfactory? Thanks for the help!

What's wrong with just pride itself? As you alluded to, it has several senses—not all of them meaning boastful. It's very possible to take honest and sincere pride in something.

What's wrong with just pride itself? As you alluded to, it has several senses—not all of them meaning boastful. It's very possible to take honest and sincere pride in something.

I think you are talking about dignity:
Your dignity is the sense that you have of your own importance and value, and other people's respect for you (Collins).
Dignity is respect that other people have for you or that you have for yourself (Macmillan).
Dignity is a sense of pride in oneself; self-respect (OED).

Well, I guess you are looking for the word:
Self-Esteem
a confidence and satisfaction in oneself : SELF-RESPECT
You can find this word on following dictionaries: Merriam Webster, Collins, Cambridge, Oxford.
