Discussion Do you think you are a bad person?

[Jake.123]

Just curious cuz i think im an absolutely terrible person

 

[Redt2go]

Yes but not on purpose

 

[SeekingSolace]

Yes and no. I have good intentions with sometimes poor results. I'm just not motivated to participate in life and that makes me feel disappointed in myself.

 

[JustAboutDone]

Why do you think you are a terrible person?

 

[Worthless_nobody]

Sometimes I think I am. But like someone said above not purposefully. Certain people in my life have brought out the worst in me. I know that might sound like an excuse but its true. People can only take so much abuse before they just snap and get kinda mean themselves.

 

[Pointlessabyss]

Depends what you class as bad, if I believed in heaven and hell I'd definetly be going to hell!
I'm just a sucker for temptation if someone says you can't do it I ll do it all the more.

I helped an old lady turn around her car the other day as she took the wrong turning in a lane and ended up on a walking path and was stuck so that's some good kudos points at least!

 

[GlowingCactus]

No, I'm proud of who I am as a person. I was just unlucky to become sick.

Treat others how you want to be treated I say . If someone hurts me, I ensure they get it back tenfold although sometimes I don't know when to stop so have taken it too far, but no regrets.

I think there are very very few people who are truly bad through and through. Most people are generally good and decent and just behave sometimes in a toxic or unpleasant way. Behaviour is almost always something that is learned and can be changed. It doesn't have to define the person if you don't want it to.

Ive made big mistakes. Its at the point where i really dunno how u can fuck up that bad.

Everyone makes mistakes. If you can acknowledge you've fcked up then that is a major thing as lots of people can't. You can move on - even from really bad fck ups. Provided, of course, you are genuinely sorry and you want to make things right and better. Nothing is ever unfixable.

I think I've become a bad person.

I feel like I don't care enough about the few people in my life who still care about me. I am numb to their needs, and tend to shut them all out because it's easier for me that way. It seems like some empathetic and compassionate part of me that used to function is now broken. Generally now, when I hear about terrible things that have happened to others, I don't really feel or think anything anymore. I often have to force myself to say socially-congruent things in those situations, but I don't really mean it. Sometimes I feel so numb and indifferent that I wonder if I am becoming a sociopath.

I guess I just feel like I am a waste of space that's toxic to the few people who try to stay connected with me. I don't know if that makes me a bad person, but I'm certain it doesn't make me a good one.

 

[Chlo]

Yes, but I also have very low self esteem and a toxic inner dialogue, so maybe I'm lying to myself.

Well u dont intentionally try to do bad things its just ur being quite passive and reserved i wouldnt say that makes u a bad person

 

[Psilo]

Bad to the bone!

Tell me about it i have no self esteem what so ever

 

[meaningisgone]

That's true. Thanks. I used to try to be a good person, though (believe me, I mucked that up). Now, I don't really try to do much of anything.

 

[Chlo]

Aw, well, I get it. You almost get addicted to telling yourself you're worthless, unlovable, useless, ugly, etc. It's like a broken record you can't turn off at the worst of times.

Can totally relate, I have trouble understanding my own emotions let alone anyone else's. I just have learnt / mental empathy and react the way people expect but may not necessary feel it.
Gets tedious and tiring to the point I isolate myself for a few days so I can recharge.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

No I am a nice guy I am The Good Guy.

Part of me wants to sit here and tell you that you're all good people and build you up and help you feel better, but I can't even tell myself those things, at least in a way I'd believe.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

I always tried to be kind to others but sometimes I hurt people unintentionally.
I never did great good but neither did great evil.
I am just meh..

 

[TooLate2582]

Yes. I try not to but I can be extremely Machiavellian. My bpd makes me an awful person as well. I'm an imposter so by not being genuine, that's another "bad" aspect

 

[SirChuxAlot]

In ways yes but in many other ways no. I am loyal and respectful to those I trust but can be one cynical bastard if I dislike you, fortunately, it is very hard for me to get to that level.

I have also done some things in the past I largely regret and have told no one about but as they say, everyone has their past.

What's a "bad person"? The torture experiment exists for experimenters to torture lab rats, and for lab rats to beat each other up instead of uniting against the enemy. Everything is bad, there's no such thing as "good". The simulation is pure evil

I know this reply is a waste of space but I must admit that was not only deep but held a lot of logic to it. Definitely something to think about.

[Dutch]

The problem with having Autism (MCDD), is that im always honest, and because of that it's not always nice for others to hear my ''unsalted honest'' opinion. You are a bad person if you harras others and bully them. Or if you hit a woman (however some deserve a slap lol)

Edit: And rape and murder and so on.

 

[EmotionlessWanderer]

My entire existence is bad
