How these synonyms differ

arrogant - 'Arrogant' is pride that has curdled, it crosses from confidence into contempt for others. The line between proud and arrogant is how you treat people.
conceited - 'Conceited' is pride focused entirely inward, a conceited person overestimates their own worth. 'Proud' can be earned; 'conceited' rarely is.
dignified - 'Dignified' is quiet pride expressed through bearing and composure. A dignified person doesn't announce their pride, they carry it.
honored - 'Honored' adds humility to pride, you feel proud but also grateful, recognizing that others played a role in whatever you're proud of.
