In Christianity, pride is seen as a sin because it leads people to put themselves above God. It is because of pride that the Tower of Babel was destroyed - people cannot aspire to be gods. Apparently God requires obedience and subservience, and pride interferes with that.
Pride can be negative when it leads to Hubris and a lack of empathy for others. Otherwise, pride involves feeling good about yourself and about how others perceive you. It is mostly a good thing.
