I am a good puppy

Ehh kinda gave up on good and evil. It’s better to say pro/anti social. Im learning to be more social.
But I’d do more “good things” than most people but I’d still say I have a lot more that I can do, and I could be more proactive in general.
It’s like you can think your a good person for picking up other people trash, but then realized that people dump carbon dioxide into the air and don’t do anything about it.
I don’t like to say “good person” and “bad person” because I feel like it implies that there is some objective scale of goodness that people can be compared to, and I think that is simply not the case. So I would rather think of this question as “Do you have a positive opinion of yourself?”
No, no I don’t. My opinion of myself is extremely negative.
I think there are many–possibly even most–“bad people” who have positive opinions of themselves. Dark triad and all that.
And then of course plenty of “good people” with self-esteem issues who will always have a bad opinion of themselves.
There should be at least a degree of objectivity when it comes to determining goodness. The bar might be low, but there is a difference between somebody who generally thinks of others (considerately) and who generally does not.
The reason I try to avoid using the phrases “good person” and “bad person” is that it implies that there are people who simply don’t do bad things. “Bad people do bad things, and I’m a good person, so I really don’t need to critically examine my own actions and how they affect others.”
I reject the premise of this question.
I try my best. I lead life with empathy for all people and creatures. We’ve all only got one world after all.
I stopped trying to be a good person, instead I’m trying to be a person I can be proud of. Whether the action prioritizes myself or the others does not matter if it makes me glad. A huge part of goodness is established on prioritizing other living beings which,I believe, forgets the most important one, the self.
I don’t like the person I used to be. I’d like to think i’m a descent person now.
Not really
I feel like I do good things just because they make people like me. Idk.
I haven’t seen this meme in a while 😆
I think that’s a relative matter…
I mean do I think I’ma good person? Not really.
Do I look around and go “What the fuck is wrong with these sociopaths?” Yes, very much so.
Yes. I’m not perfect but I try to do positive things and minimize the harm/impact of my life on the world around me.
Eh, I try. I think I succeed more often than not, but most bad people think they’re good, right? I try to calibrate against the broader society as a whole, but it often seems like society isn’t really aligned with goodness anyway. So here I am, trying to suss out the good parts of society and align with that, and trying to suss out the bad parts and follow my own moral compass there. But again, bad people probably generally think they’re good, so it’s a bit of a conundrum innit?
Minimize harm to others, and try to help as much as you can. Except sometimes harming bad people somewhat is good, and sometimes help is counterproductive.
I’m confident that I am a person. I try to emulate what good is like. Life is hard.
Not really. Most of the things that I do are very neutral, and there are a few things that I do that are pretty awful, although of limited scope in harms. I’m mostly nice to people, I try to help where I can, but these aren’t really exemplary things, these are just part of living in a society.
What qualifies as good? Mother Theresa was seen as “good”. May she rest in piss.
