So because pride and shame "share" half of their sub-level "Forms" they can only be esteemed as half-opposites, and to prove this we can assert that Pride IS subconsciously repressed shame, so they are actually two sides of the same coin.

So what is the conjugate of pride?

Proverbs 11:2 tells us;
When pride cometh, then cometh shame: But with the lowly is wisdom.

And here we have a very profound relationship spelled out quite clearly

The conjugate of pride is "Humility"

Strength-----------\|/-------Awareness
-------------------Humility----------------
Humiliation-------/|\----------Patience

Humility shares two of its bases with shame humiliation and strength; but wait!!!

"Strength is not weakness"

Oh, but it IS.

How does a weightlifter "build" strength? He does so by repeatedly pushing his muscle to the point of failure, and in repeatedly and earnestly pushing the weakness of his muscle to failure that experience builds strength, so they are the same thing except weakness requires experience and vulnerability to become strength but let's not fool ourselves; even with "some" strength, strength is not an absolute and eventually if you keep pushing at it, strength too will fail due to its weakness.

And as proverbs says, humility is half opposite of wisdom as well.

Knowledge-------\|/----------Success
-------------------Wisdom---------------
Strength-----------/|\-------Awareness
Strength-----------\|/-------Awareness
-------------------Humility----------------
Humiliation-------/|\----------Patience


So if we put these four higher level forms together they form a circular pattern with another cross that exists between them.

And if we rotate this construct 90 degrees;

Ignorance-------\|/----------Arrrogance
-------------------Pride---------------
Courage---------/|\-------Knowledge
Courage---------\|/-------Knowledge
------------------Wisdom----------------
Awareness-------/|\---------Strength

Ignorance---------\|/---------Failure
-------------------Shame---------------
Vulnerability------/|\-------Humiliation
Vulnerability------\|/-------Humiliation
-------------------Humility----------------
Awareness--------/|\--------Strength


This is the half-opposite relationship of wisdom paired with pride, and shame paired with humility.
And picrel is all of these forms in their totality as they are positionally related to each other in the platonic realm of Forms
