Do you consider yourself a good person?

[noname223]

For me: I was an ambitious student but my childhood traumata caused severe mental health problems. I really do not deserve this. But in the end i guess it is better to find peace instead of getting tortured all day long (at least for me). I never did drugs. I never broke the law. This world is really unfair. At least i can bitch about that anonymously in an online suicide forum.
Do you consider yourself a good person? And do you deserve this?

 

[watereyes]

No. I did some harm to myself that I will regret for the rest of my life. Only reason I did not harm others is because I'm a shut-in.

 

[Tired_Tired]

Personally, I didn't agree "What goes around comes around". Good person will not seek CTB from most people or religion point of view.

 

[EmptyManForever]

Yes I do consider myself a good person and that's the curse for me, cuz being a "good" person is the worst thing ever because this world is full of bad people, life gets really difficult for a good person , and bad people are strong and they know how to survive, but the good person is always suffering, I really dunno why it happens like this but yea I'm a good person and my life really is hell because of it

 

[MindFog]

No, not really. Mainly because I know what goes into my head. If it only comes down to the actions I've done, then maybe I have the potential to be good, but well my brain thinks I only do good things to seem good. Like an impostor.

• I try to help others whenever I can, even if I don't have time for it.
• I don't kill animals unless necessary (aphids etc.). Rather the contrary, I usually save animals from drowning whenever I see them swimming in water fighting for their life. Last summer I even saved a bat, I've probably saved hundreds of flies, beetles and others in my life. Man, I even feed sugarated water to weak insects to set them free again later when they are doing better.
• I don't vent my bad mood on others and never act aggressively towards them.
• I always do everything I am told.
• I never criticize others.
• I ignore my own wishes if they are not compatible with the ones of another person (e.g. I always let the other person choose which movie we watch etc.).
• I always say "thank you" and "please" and never take anything someone is doing for me for granted.
  
  I'd consider myself a good person. Still shit always hits me hard. But I don't care anymore, I just continue the way I act now because once I die I know that I have done nothing wrong.

 

[CC123]

Yes

 

[Bigpink]

I've done things that are definitely not good so maybe got what I deserved. Others weren't good to me either.

 

[Kat!]

Uh well I'm not really one to say but I try to be.
I was exactly the same way though. Although my life was shitty I never wanted to seek a life of crime or petty crime to make myself feel better. I just started drinking but that's pretty much the only thing I ever did.

 

[issyishere]

I've always felt empathy to a massive extent. Seeing anyone homeless would make me depressed the rest of the day. I don't think I'm a bad person or someone amazingly good but I'd trust myself to not hurt anyone intentionally. I don't know what I did to be the way I am :/

 

[woknows]

I do.

 

[Skathon]

Absolutely not.

 

[Superdeterminist]

I don't consider myself 'good' or 'bad'. I don't think they're very useful terms to describe people accurately, generally.

Do you consider yourself a good person?

Good for whom?

 

[user667]

no.

 

[Intotheflames]

I was a good person. I was innocent, empathic, and forgiving. Always out there helping someone, lifting their pains even at my own expense. But I wanted it that way, better me got hurt than you since I was stronger and you were precious. As my world got darker, I slowly lost those qualities one by one. And the worst thing is there are moments I can't wait to lose them completely, that I can't wait to be an evil person.

 

[kohaku]

I've been too kind. I've been too forgiving. Nowadays I know better, but my past naivete still weighs down on me.

I know true suffering. That is what makes me a good person. I understand, I listen, I give advice sometimes. I've read a lot about relationships and am great at wording. I know how to say negative things without hurting the other person. I know how to be upfront and honest without being mean. That's what makes me a good person.

I don't deserve to feel this way. I don't deserve to be unhappy with life, but I am. And that's just how it is.

 

[deflationary]

I think maybe a bit better than the average person if you could measure it somehow. But knowing what the average person is like, that's nothing to brag about.

 

[Ardesevent]

Not in the slightest. I did crappy things to the few people who were nice to me, so I basically dug my own grave.

Sometimes, we do shitty things because of our mental illnesses and various afflictions. That doesn't make you a bad person.

 

[Weary Soul]

"Do you consider yourself a good person?"​

No, I consider myself human.

I try to help others where I can, but I don't think that defines me as a good person. To me, doing good things, especially helping others, should be the norm and not a rarity.

[StringPuppet]

I haven't done anything positive for anybody

 

[stygal]

I don't know after all that's very subjective.

I have never done any physical, bodily or monetary harm to any body - does that already classify one as "good"?

I have however lied, cheated (in different ways) and deceived some people for my own personal advantage (mainly a ego thing) in the past. Wouldn't do it again aka learned from it but "the damage" is done.

Also as @MindFog said in my head I definitely wanted to do harm to some people and haven't been all that forgiving.

 

[alice-in-wonderland]

I don't know anyone here, but I know for sure that no one deserves what we went and are going through
I don't consider myself good or bad. I am me - a person, who won't hurt people in more vulnerable position than me.

Do you consider yourself a good person? And do you deserve this?

i am a raging dumpster fire. is that good or bad?

 

[_Kaira_]

In some ways, yes, some ways no. It's a pretty subjective question.

Overall, probably not.

 

[rabbithole]

nah. I'm quiet and kind to people but I not-so-secretly loathe a lot of humanity and have no tolerance for half of mankind. particularly the man part of "mankind". so I don't know if I'm a good person if I harbor so much resentment.

 

[Donk]

I don't think it's so black and white. No one is 100% good or evil they hover somewhere in between both ends of the spectrum. So I think I lean closer to the "good" side whatever that means

 

[Nymph]

Nope

 

[Garbage Person]

i am a raging dumpster fire.

Me too. Burning garbage.
