Learn English – What does “feeling proud with” mean

meaning-in-context

I've found in a Facebook post:

Feeling proud with NNN at someplace

I'm not sure about this "feeling proud with" and what it could mean?

I tried asking at English Language & Usage but it was closed as off-topic.

That sentence doesn't really make sense on its own. On Facebook, you can add certain tags to your post, and it writes those as a sentence: Feeling [x] to show an emotion. with [person/people] tags one or more people in your status. And at [someplace] tags a location. And then Facebook renders it as in your example: Feeling [x] with [person/people] at [someplace].

The word proud here is most likely related to the following definition of pride, from Merriam-Webster, and not one of the more negative ones.

a feeling of happiness that you get when you or someone you know does something good, difficult, etc.

What the person is proud of is not clearly stated in that sentence alone. It's most likely either something else mentioned in the status, or the person tagged.
