Poll: Do you ever wonder if you are a bad person?

[Andreas55k]

The title says a lot of it...

I have my personal problems, and i do what i can to come to terms with them, but sometimes i wonder...

Am I a Bad person?

I am lazy, even though i beleive in a Political thing that focus on the workers,
I Dont trust easy... Like... At All...
I often feel like i am a liability to my (Few) friends.
I am a whiner, and has got a bad thing with over analysing the situation...
I feel like people are watching me all the time, and I fear to be beset upon at any moment on the day...
And last drop, Im on medication against Depression... Whoopsie fucking Do...

All theise things i tell myself, but everyone else tells me that its not true... But i still doubt...
Yes, i suck...

what about you People of the escapist?
Do you Judge yourself easy and feel bad?

There will always be someone better than you.

But there will always be someone worse than you.

 

[Maphysto]

Honestly, if you're so confident in yourself that you never even stop to consider if you're a decent person or not, you're prolly an arrogant asshole.

And that makes you a bad person.

Its not really like "Am i worse than that guy,"... Since my basic thought is that "Everyone is equal"... But its more, "Do I Do damage to others" or,"Am i rather a liability than a help to my freinds"...

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Well, yes. Just about everyone should have thought that at least once.

 

[Bullfrog1983]

I have done some bad things in the past - especially when I was drunk, but all told I am a good person. There are certainly a lot more people with worse track records than me, of that I am certain.

It seems like most of those things you listed are pretty much neutral, though maybe a pain in the ass for ya.

The way I look at it, if you don't restrict others from doing their thing, don't intentionally cause others pain/trouble, and try to reduce the occurrence/impact of the times you unintentionally do so, then you aren't a bad person.

Though I do think Iblis666 had a point, whether or not (s)he meant to make it. If you sometimes wonder if you are a bad person, you are probably worried about the impact you have on people, which probably means you aren't a bad person. If you don't ever wonder then maybe you are. Its like sanity.

Couldn't have said it better myself...cheers mate.

I don't think that every thing I do is perfect lawful good, not even chaotic good, hell i slip below chaotic neutral every once and a while, but I don't think that a person isn't bad, their actions are, if you do something assholy that doesn't mean you're an irredemable asshole, it means that you pulled an asshole move and I'm going to call you an asshole... does this make sense to anyone besides me?

Everyone is not equal. That's why there's genocidal warlords and Christians.

And of course you do damage to others. Your parents obviously made an investment into a child that they could have spent on themselves.

However, life is about mitigating/fixing damage, not outright avoiding it. Unless you operate with 100% efficiency and are always working for the betterment of someone else, you are arguably harming someone else.

 

[Gurk]

I answered 'Yes'. I personally do not think I'm a bad person, my motives are never spiteful and I never intend to hurt anyone.

However, I've had many people tell me I am a horrible, controlling, insecure person who never smiles. I do have depression, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. :S

Pretty much this.

I might spend waaaay to much time being introspective, but I'd rather spend too much time than not enough. I often wonder how much time people even spend thinking about themselves, their actions and the consequences of those actions, how they can improve, etc etc.

 

[Buschmaki]

I don't wonder if I'm a bad person because i know I am. I'm crass, lazy, and have no patience for stupidity. But eh it's life I guess.

This right here. Very well put.

Good and bad are completely subjective. Someone might consider you a bad person, while another might consider you a good person.

You should always be evaluating your own actions to see whether you are living up to the standards of how you think you should act. That's what matters.

 

[fluffybunny937]

I don't wonder. I know I am a bad person.

 

[Link_to_Future]

No, I never wonder it.

I know it.

And I struggle against it every day. We as people are self-centered and petty. We are all innately bad people. Remaining friendly and idealistic is the worthwhile fight.

God damn I'm pessimistic tonight. >.<

Well we could discuss the "Equal" issue from here to the end of time, so lets just leave it at that

Your other points is quite good i say...

 

[dyre]

Usually, I think over things I've done rather than an summary "Am I good or bad" sort of thing. I feel that judging my overall character is impossible to do in an unbiased way, and depends too much on my emotions at the time

Honestly, if you're so confident in yourself that you never even stop to consider if you're a decent person or not, you're prolly an arrogant asshole.

I'm sure Hitler felt pretty ok about how he acted...

I'm not a fan of the "good and bad are completely subjective" rhetoric; imo, "good and bad are rather difficult to define" is a better / more accurate statement

 

[Mr Thin]

I... know I am?

Where's that option in the poll?

I sometimes wonder if I'm a good person, does that count?
