Do you think of yourself as an inherently GOOD person, regardless of your behavior? If so, whatever on earth gave you this impression? Parents? Other people's acceptance of you? Jesus? The insistence that you MUST think so or else realize that life isn't worth living?

Actually I spent my whole life feeling like I was not good enough, selfish, arrogant, awful. Mostly because these were images beat into my head by my mom and my sister since I was old enough to feel guilt.
But in recent months like the sun rising on a summer morning it has dawned on me that I am not those things. I feel like I am a good person and I will not take anyone trying to make me feel anything less ever again.

Do you mean that you intend to do good, or the outcomes of your actions are good?

I think I'm cranky, but a good cranky. Usually after 5 cups of coffee I dial down my crankiness to a humorous irritability.
I do have a crab shaped pot holder from the Oregon coast hanging on my kitchen wall that says, "Cranky Until I have My Coffee".
I try and live my life by cliches.

I spent most of my life being too good, passive aggressive, and always thinking of others.
In the last few years, I've tought more about me and being selfish in a postive way. I don't keep as much in as I use to. I'm much much happier because of it and still gererally a "good guy*"

I don't know about "good", I'd say "decent".
I don't mean anybody any harm unless they harm me or I think they're a douche. even then, I wouldn't ever go out of my way to hurt someone, I'd just think hurting them and smile.

I have a very clear understanding of what I believe to be right or wrong. And I'm usually fully aware of when I'm doing something I would perceive as wrong, in which case I'm more likely to sort of quietly hope that it can be excused or forgiven. I don't really try to justify any of my immoral tendencies, or make excuses, I just try to avoid deliberately hurting people who don't (in my opinion) deserve it, and try not to repeat the same mistakes.
I think most of my "goodness" comes from my mom. My least favorable traits come from my dad, mostly. But he taught me to hold doors open for people and that sort of thing. At the same time, on my first day of kindergarten he told me that if anybody ever hits me, make sure they get hit back twice as many times. I still live by that credo.

i don't go out of my way to be good to others. if it happens then it happens. im gererally friendly and respectful. i just don't do any of that extra shit.
i wouldn't say im bad to others either. i think the worst thing i do to people is ignore and dismiss those that i feel are useless. that seems to happen quite a bit, though.

I'm just starting to grow out of this myself. Like literally over the last couple weeks. Starting to really lose my patience with all the friends who have consistently taken my kindness for granted and/or not reciprocated.
Consequently I have alot of long lasting relationships coming to an end. Friends I thought I'd have for life. I don't have the patience for negativity anymore, and it's starting to turn my social life upside down.
goodness?
it's all so subjective. good and bad are what you make of it. it's all about the experience. and choice. it's this duality of good and evil i'd like to leave behind.

I am able-bodied and intelligent and don't use those attributes to contribute to the greater good an any kind of noteworthy capacity. I operate by the Golden Rule, never set out to intentionally hurt anyone or anything, I recycle, I volunteer occasionally, so on and so forth.
...But when it comes right down to it, I'm pretty self-centered and oftentimes a total shithead.
Am I a bad person? No. But I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm a good person.

gracious golly gee.
I'm such a terrible person, my fucking brain feels like it's oozing everyday because I'm so consumed by guilt, fear, jealousy and hatred. I try and take naps mid-day and drink heavily to drown out the pain but I always end up with a headache at the end of the day. I would take weed but that just amplifies everything that's on my mind. Last time I felt truly at peace was when I took a skateboard truck to my head.
