What does "swallow his pride " mrean precisely?

[Alan]

Hi,

When you swallow your pride, you control the urge to be arrogant/proud (which is what you really want to be) and instead you behave in a humble way.

And when the meaning is " not worry what people thought " - does it mean you control the urge to be arrogant.
Thanks a lot

It has a suggestion that you don't mind what people think but the main meaning is that you do something in humility and forget about your own personal pride or importance.
