Are you a good person?

[skips]

I'm not a good person by any means, but I try my damnedest to attempt to be a good person.

 

[Ram]

Yes I think I am a good person. I am just not perfect at it.

 

[GamerBear]

I've sometimes come off as being an asshole on JUB sometimes but usually I am deep down a very nice person when you get to know me better.

 

[skips]

I am a good person deep down but I’m not a very nice person.

Too many perceive niceness as some sort of weakness so I had to dig a ditch and bury that shit. Nowadays, I’m only “nice” in the traditional sense to a select few.

As for the rest? Eh...

^ Not interested in...?

Please.

 

[TickTockMan]

Depends on how you define “good person.”


I have been called a teddy bear that will rip your arms off by some. I think it is fitting.

People can't judge themselves.
They have to let other people judge them.

They have to let other people judge them.

Unfortunately, the majority of people base their judgements off of shallow and meaningless things. However, not all people are honest with themselves and would like to believe that they are a much better person than they actually are. So this is a pretty tricky topic.

I'm pretty honest with myself though. I don't think I'm a bad person. I don't think I'm a good person. I know I'm a heavily flawed individual who has made enough mistakes to fill a dozen or so novels-in the past couple of years alone. I try as hard as I can to make up for bad/selfish/harsh things I've done and said unless the person I said it to was completely deserving of it because of something even more severe that they've done. People have told me that I'm one of the best people they know, others have said that I'm like the bi teen version of Satan, haha. I can't control whether or not others see me as a good person but I know myself better than anyone else so if they think I'm great, that is fine, and if they think I'm a bad person, that's also fine because it means I'll either have to improve upon some of my behaviors or forget about them altogether.

/Rant.

People who say they are nice, trust worthy, reliable, honest, caring, helpful .......... etc are normally the opposite is true.

I'm not talking about members here because i don't know them in person.
I'm talking about people in real life.

 

[AndrewC88]

I try and usually I am but sometimes I do very bad things to hurt people in order to hurt them if they hurt me. Like an ex-friend who finally revealed his true colors and trashed me, then wrote a letter to his BF saying that he was cheating on him. In order to make it believable I researched all he said about his BF. I broke them up


See I'm not nice.

I was talking people in real life as well.
I don't know anyone here yet so I'd have no room to say anything about them (and I probably wouldn't anyway).

 

[HunterM]

I'm not sure. I am building an evil empire to rule the world.

My precious! Oh my precious!!!! Muwahahahaha

 

[Centipede]

sorta

kinda

 

[lennon]

Most of the time - but don't push me.

 

[The_Reaper]

I try my best to be a decent person...

I hold doors for people; I give money and time to charities; and so forth. Though, I don't know whether I'm a good person per se...I mean, I do have a short temper from time to time.

And other flaws; I'll settle for being decent.

 

[geloge]

I don't know, probably not.

 

[chace1617]

i do my best to be a good person i always help people when they need me and i'm kind almost to everyone, in fact i think i'm too nice sometimes and people don't appreciate it

People tend to have their own definition of what constitutes a 'good person', and more often than not, they conveniently fit their own criterion.

I agree with Telstra. I believe we cannot accurately judge ourselves on the matter. Oftentimes our desire to be a 'good person' supersedes the reality, and when the question arises, we tend to focus more on our finer qualities than our pervasive weaknesses.

An objective assessment can come only from an external source. Though even then, based upon their respective definition of 'good', the accuracy of such an ambiguous appraisal is questionable in itself.

By my own personal definition, I think I'm a reasonably good person. I try to do what I feel is best by myself and others. Whether it is best in actuality though, remains to be seen, and so too does how consistently I genuinely govern said behaviour. I'm continually maturing, and so my habitual conduct, demeanor, and etiquette are forever shifting. Perhaps as I do now to the Andrew of the past, in the future I will look back in reproach of my current proclivities, whereas currently I, perhaps injudiciously, view them as acceptable.

You be the judge.

 

[MTLDude]

Yes, I am a good person

Spoiler

most of the time

 

[birddog7]

No, I'm not worth two cents...

 

[Kabluey]

I guess so, I like people and don't like to see them get hurt, guess that's pretty universal though.
