Do you believe you're a good person?

Why or why not?

Good is relative and very subjective, so it's a difficult one. Me? no, I'm not good. All the good I can do is try to keep the bad in me in check; the rest is a bonus.

 

[Wechseln]

Trying my best.

 

[Skeleben]

Sure why not, I'd get a beer with me

On a scale of good to bad I figure I'm somewhere between Mr. Rogers and Satan.

All I know is that bribes of sweets really smooths things along.

Probably! My dog seems pretty sure I'm the only one who can lead the people, and "mine is the sword of Micheal". I'm not *positive* what that means, but he seems like a good judge of character; he won't even talk to anyone else!

I just wish to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Okay we were on the same track, but it looks like we got off at very different stations.

I don't believe I am a person. I am an anomaly.

This is a tricky question because people who talk about how they're such good people tend to be the worst, but people who'll tell you they're bad people might just be telling the truth as well... I'll say I'm not a bad person. Not a saint either, just average. I tend not to bother people and generally don't like to be bothered either.

It's actually something I read after having endured the psychological torture known as Jurassic Bark.

All I know is If i were to put myself in alignment scale, I will move between chaotic neutral and chaotic good.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Why or why not?

I have a complex of exact numbers, which results in me almost never tipping cashiers. I don't know why, the concept of numbers without a 0 drives me insane sometimes. Or I just forget to.

Oh also because I'm petty.

 

[Taukyrie]

Sometimes I don't think so, but a lot of my friends tell me that I am.

 

[Faust03]

morality test things I take sometimes say I'm either chaotic good or true neutral

 

[instalazy]

im nice

 

[Yuniheim]

I try to be.

 

[CargoRoms]

I'm either a pushover or an asshole...

Really do wanna be generous and mindful, but when someone starts milking my generosity, this is where I draw the line.

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

Chaotic Neutral.

Well... ask yourself the question: "Am I being a dick to others?" you might be tempted to say "no" at first, but the questioning only works if you consider it from various angles, and learning what angles are these comes down to interacting with different types of people and learn how they think and feel. Empathy plays a big part here.

Of course, you can't take it too far, you gotta keep balance and find out what makes sense for you, or else you fall for social biases and become neurotic about trivial things, or in the worst case scenario become a person who preach these biases.

This is basically what I consider the formula to be a better person.

I think this is realistically an impossible question for most people to accurately answer. While nobody really knows themsef better than them, it's also way, way too easy for people to ignore, overlook, and misunderstand qualities about themselves because they are inherently locked to their own personal viewpoints and knowledge. Even if someone regularly got feedback from other people on whether or not they're a good person, there's so many ways that can be justified as being accurate or inaccurate, whether or not it is. Getting that feedback isn't even really always valuable. Someone who doesn't like you is fairly likely to call you a bad person just because they don't like you in the same way someone that does like you is likely to call you a good person just because they do like you. That's not even getting into the can of worms about the subjectivity of the whole thing, like how if we were to look to fiction, many facets of this question can't be agreed upon. Generally, I try to be a good person, at least what I think of as one, and I think it's important for other people to do their best to be what they think of as a good person. Does that make me one? I dunno man, but I hope it does.​

 

[SyphonFilter12]

I guess I am good person. I don't steal, don't play at casino, don't drink alcohol only Pepsi, don't lie, and no girls.

 

[Aziamuth]

I am aware of the sins I have committed.
