It's a tough question, since good and bad are just whatever I happen to have been programmed into believing are those things. Going by ""my own"" "moral compass" I am not a good person, but I'm not the worst either.honesty is king

I try to be balanced between good and evil. Sodding boring just trying to be good all the time.
Edit: also, I don't think you can really know the effect your actions are going to have on others/the world. We know too well on this site that people trying to help can actually do more harm than good.

I think good and bad don't actually exist but society has created some rules which make us "good or bad" people.
Having said this, I think that according to the system, I'm a good guy because:
-I pay my taxes
-I'm always polite with people on the streets (for instance, letting them go first when getting on a bus).
-I say hi to all my neighbors
-I try not to be a noisy neighboor (I failed at this 1 month ago for the first time in 8 years since I lived alone lol. I felt really bad about it),
-I love my parents in spite of having a schizophrenic mother who is literally a devil sometimes
-I love animals
-I respect all human beings and don't care about their gender or beliefs or political preferences, etc.
-I really do my best not to disturb any other people.
-I try not to hurt anyone but unfortunately, love hurts and I tend to fail at this.
HOWEVER....
I'm not perfect and become a "bad" person sometimes because...
-I get happy when people I don't like fail in life. For instance, seeing my ex classmates who were bullies fatter than me with 5 children and a sad face on all their pictures makes me feel so better.
-I'm a toxic online player sometimes. I used to play Overwatch and damn, I didn't recognize myself. Such a fool.
-I laugh when people stumble on the streets lol
And that's basically it!
Oh, also, I guess I'm an "evil" person according to many people because I want to ctb. Never forget that lol.

I was firstly naive and innocent, then a bit of a shit when I was younger, but I didn't have a very good role model to look up to and I aped his questionable behaviours before I worked out that they were wrong... I stole things for a while because I wasn't given anything and after getting nowhere being good, I did turn to being not so good because it just seemed to be better to live that way for a while. It seemed like everyone else was rewarded for lying while I was rebuked for being honest, so I thought "fk it!" for a while n did what I pleased - though rarely got away with it lol
Since being an adult, and especially since having a child, I've examined and tweaked my behaviour very carefully over the years and I have tried my damndest to be good; tolerant, kind, understanding, accepting. But since being taken advantage of in my early years through naivety n "being good", there's a steely core to the inside of me that will not be taken advantage of, will not submit to narcissistic manipulation, or be significantly affected by somebody with malicious intent...
Some might see that side of me as almost evil at times, but I believe that a balance between the two is the best way to be ok about yourself in the long run.

I'm definitely a bad person. I used to at least try to be a better person because I believed I was good but at this point I'm definitely a bad person. I've done a lot of minorly bad things but I'm more concerned with the thoughts I've had and the bad things I've wished I could do. The only thing stopping me from being the next violent criminal is honestly my laziness. If it weren't for that I'd definitely have done even worse things right now and I have little to no remorse for who suffers.
I want innocent people to feel the same hurt I've felt but more. That alone should make me a bad person. Even if I did not consider myself a bad person, I definitely am evil by California standards: I'm a heterosexual male which is already 2 out of 3 of the most unforgivable sins in the eyes of my fellow millennials. Good thing I'm not white I guess. I also think capitalism is better than socialism or communism so I'm definitely still evil by Most Californians' standards. I hope when I die people around me realize that they didn't lose a good person, they gained a step towards world peace because they got to see the world improve just a little by an evil person being removed from it.
