Are you a good person?

“Great Question” (2points)

Do you know if you’re a good person? What criteria do you use to evaluate this? How have you determined that you are (or aren’t) a good person? Is your internal sense of good/bad enough, or is there some external measure?

EDIT: This isn’t a question about ethics and/or politics (please no). It’s about our beliefs of ourselves as a positive or negative being and how we understand this to be true.

I consider myself a good person, but I also know I’ve made mistakes and hurt people. I’m imperfect, everyone is.

I was just watching an interview with Justice Gorsuch, and he said no one ever regrets being kind to others. That sounds right to me.

I consider myself good, because I truly want everyone to be well, and I want to help others. I try to help people feel good about themselves. I do my best to be honest, fair, and forgiving.

It’s really not for me to say.

I think I’m a good person, but I am biased. The assessment of whether I am good or not – is really up to the people that know me, work with me, hang out with me, and so on. They will have a better idea that I will.

Yes. I think I am.
Based on feedback from others, I do alright.
Based on Hare’s Psychopathy Checklist, I am a very good person,not psychopathic in the least. Whew.

I think I am more a good person than a bad one. I can be a bit selfish sometimes. I like to joke that the four most important people in my life are me, myself, I, and yours truly. That’s not exactly accurate, but I do tend to look out for myself more than others I know do and that can have its downsides. Most people I know would probably say I was good, if flawed.

I am yes, all around me know this & would say so themselves.
Product of the right kind of upbringing & also a strong desire just to be the best person that I can be. I’ve always prided myself on helping others & brightening their day in any way I can, makes me feel good inside y’know?
