I believe I am. Sure I can be a bad egg sometimes especially towards my brother when he gets on my nerves, but generally I try to treat people with kindness and respect, even when that's not always what I recieve back because most people feels like they are on auto-pilot. Like, whereas I think very far ahead and think of how the smallest details of my actions may or may not be percieved by my surroundings, I often feel other people don't. Like they do stuff the easy way and the way that is most beneficial to them, without thinking if they make life harder for everyone else in the proceed.

Something as simple as always looking behind you when walking through a door in CASE someone is behind you that you want to hold the door for.

I mean, just today I was in the train where I always stand in the section between the cars as to avoid people as much as possible. I am standing by the sign that says babystrollers have priority, and so when I see one enter the train I naturally move out of the way.

Thing is, the father didn't see me do this gesture, as there was no eye contact and no "thanks buddy" or any sort of acknowledgement of my gesture. Also, the woman standing right beside me did nothing to move away like I did. So we have a father who seemingly did not notice that I moved to make space for him, and a woman who did not move away along with me in order to make space for him, as which point I just moved back into place.

It is UNawareness and INconsiderateness like this that makes me hate the world and hate my fellow humans for not thinking about each others, and makes me wonder if people even SEE wtf happens around them.

I'll tell you guys what. I feel like, I've made a lot of dumb decisions, and probably won't ever not feel bad about it. But even with how I feel I also think it's counter productive to wallow in that. I hate to be that guy that tells you to rub some dirt in it, but sometimes you really just gotta reflect and tell yourself enough is enough. You can't ever hope to be good if you aren't good to yourself.

Been in a bad spot mentally the past few months. Never have been able to give myself a break. But I've been doing some things, and some reflection, and at some point something has to give. Gotta start looking towards the future vs wallowing in the past.

I've had a lot of problems my entire life. Having Autism, lots of people didn't understand me. I'd go to school and get bullied, just to come home and get beat on by my mom's boyfriend. Now that I'm older, I carry this belief that, the trauma doesn't make the man, it's what he takes away from that trauma, and how he uses it to grow and evolve that makes him who he is. Don't care what issues you guys have in your day to day, can be anything, just try to learn from yours and others mistakes, and use that lesson to cultivate yourself, and push to live a better life than you have up to this point. And if you feel stuck, it won't be that way forever, cycles are meant to be broken, and that one little change in that cycle can send it off rails into the next chapter of your life.

I'm good at being a bad person.

anything taken too far produces some kind of detriment, n if that doesn't ring with any resounding, tangible truth to you then you may have to more intangibly think outside-ze-box - but not really, as anything affects anything even to some infinitesimal, microcosmic degree.

and also in the same turn - qualities considered to be too inept or questionable or dangerous - can actually be healthy in small 'doses'. my head's flippin n flyin too much to follow trains of thought long enough to give you guys examples, but at least 0.001 users should be able to feel where I'm comin from at general face-value here ^_^

I am forever haunted for lettin a few ppl down in (what I consider) the worst of ways during a period where I uhm lost my way quite a bit n don't even wanna get into it n tear my mind n nerves apart right the now.

these horrifying reminders have slowly resulted in straightenin me out further n further (even as my energy lvls n thinking routines are blasting outta control last few years - especially this one) n I only hope I never let the rest of the important ppl in my life from back then all the way to friends of relatively recent tenure - I hope to never let anyone down again. I falter stiLL but recover all the more quicker in these later years as it goes n I will never break my word or let anyone I know kill themselves or OD on shit if I can help it at aLL... not on my watch or w/e ughh sorry my bad - bad post idk
 
A century ago most of us would've been considered as bad persons because we're sleeping with someone before marriage among other things.

Reminder that what is deemed good or bad changes depending of the epoch and region of the globe.

Those are some very bold assumptions you're making about this site's user base.
