If you think so, why?
Do you think of yourself a "good " person?

I don't think it's a useful question to ask about yourself or others.
If you generally work to achieve your values you are a good person, but nothing depends on that evaluation since the direction you should change is the same regardless. Nobody is perfect and if you're irredeemable admitting it won't change anything either.
I am good to the few and evil or neutral to the many.
"Good" is obviously subjective. I am reliable, consistent, trustworthy and dependable. Those are objective truths about me. I am not a good person. I have differing opinions. Merely having a differing opinion can make you a bad person. For instance: Not supporting a political narrative or voting for the wrong political candidate. So with that said, it doesn't matter if you think you are a good person half the population hates your fucking guts for having independent thoughts and opinions.

Or failing to empathize with a cat.Merely having a differing opinion can make you a bad person. For instance: Not supporting a political narrative like LGBTQ or voting for a political candidate like Donald Trump.

Cutting someone's penis in half and then shooting it back in their face through a blowgun objectively causes harm, thus it is objectively evil if you define evil as "unnecessary harm" and good as "benefitting self and others".

"Or failing to empathize with a cat." Point proven. Thinks I am bad because I don't think of or treat cats like humans. I put the cat out of its misery.

I stand by my statement and will add to it, Good and evil are subjective.
"Compassion towards the guilty is cruelty towards the innocent"
The subjective is for all intents and purposes the imaginary
I am not a good person.
I have done many bad things in life.
I am a bad person.
I was a meat eater for almost my whole life, where good person would rather die than eat meat.
Good person would always prefer to not cause harm, even at his own cost.
The fact that I cant be a vegan already puts me in a bad position as a person.
I did try to lower my impact on the environment. I dont own a car. I plant trees.
But its not enough to make me a good person.
I also often enjoy seeing others in pain, which is just wrong even tho most people enjoy seeing others in pain.
So I cannot possibly be a good person.
I am probably a good person, to understand how you'd need to live my life.
I am also a badboy sexy beast that will fuck you up if you're too severely evil. Thanks for understanding.
Difficult to tell because there is no reference for that.
I'm a good citizen because I comply with the law, but a good person? I don’t know.
I'm a good citizen because I comply with the law, but a good person? I don’t know.
As my old highschool dean once said, ‘Make sure you don’t get caught’ or something to that effect. Of course he used to get high with his son between periods who also went to the same school.
Wow people are struggling to easily say they're a good person.
Well a GOOD step in the GOOD direction.
Thank you all for adding SUBSTANCE to the topic for those that don't realize how substance accumulates.
I'm not a hero. I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be.

"Wow people are struggling to easily say they're a good person."
People aren't struggling with it. The word good is subjective. One single thing that someone else may disagree with can make you a bad person. Even if that disagreement breaks no laws or harms anyone. You don't determine if you are good, everyone you come in contact with does based on your interactions and words. I have opinions people don't like but I have never done anything to harm the people who don't like my opinions. They all without exception think I am a bad person for having those opinions. They call me every name in the book> Nazi, asshole, racist, bigot you name it. Are they good people? I've never done a fucking thing to these people other than express my opinion that they went out of their way to ask me to give my opinion.

@sadolite
Why do you say you're not a good person?
-->
@Mall
I never said I wasn't a good person, I said other people don't think I am simply because I have my own opinions that don't match theirs. I'll say it again, you don't determine if you are a good person, other people do. The word "good" is subjective. You may think you are good but others wont.

@sadolite
Oh are you a good person?
-->
@Mall
"Oh are you a good person? Yes according to some, no according to others. I don't get to decide if I am a good person. I am who I am, take it or leave it. I say no to people and set boundaries. People generally hate that. I do a lot of things people don't like. But with that said the things I do that people don't like prevent them from engaging in manipulation and deception.
-->
@sadolite
So you yourself can't decide whether you're a good person or not. Nevermind others, not asking them. I could ask anyone is this a good person (you).
But you can't say you're a good person. The struggle is real out chere'.

@Mall
I believe I am in the top 33% of humans in terms of "goodness".
I am an Eagle Scout; 1% of the population has this.
I am plant based; 2% of the population.
I am getting a vasectomy before I have sex with someone that can get pregnant (if the woman is infertile, then there is no point), thereby preventing the death of the unborn; 5% of the male population.
I don't block over political differences, and I think having a thick skin makes you a better person; maybe 20% of the population.

@TheUnderdog
I don't think you need a vasectomy to avoid getting women pregnant.
You can take that in 2 ways.
1 focuses on abstinence.
The other focuses on you.

@RationalMadman
It's the most effective and if I'm having sex with an STI negative woman, I would rather raw dog. I just have high testosterone levels. I don't like wearing condoms, so I'll get the vasectomy if needed.
-->
@TheUnderdog
I can't reply or spell something out without in a way bullying you so I'll stop.
Besides, others have or would say the same shit to me.
I'll give you one hint, some people don't get laid with or without vasectomy. You do the mathematics.

@RationalMadman

If you think you need to bully me by insulting me or calling me a virgin (which I'm proud of), then you can do that. I believe in free speech even at my expense.
I'll give you one hint, some people don't get laid with or without vasectomy.
The vasectomy is to protect the woman; not so I have an easier time getting sex. I could be 80% less likely to get sex with a vasectomy and I still would want to get one to protect the woman I would be nutting in.
anyone can be a good person as long as they put their mind to it

@Mall
It doesn't matter if "I" think "I" am a good person. If someone else thinks "I" am a bad person saying "I" am a good person until "I" am blue in the face wont change their mind. You don't get to decide if you are a good person, others do. You don't seem to get that concept. It's like people saying they are "cool". You don't decide you are cool, others do. Saying you are cool doesn't make you cool just as saying you are good doesn't make you good.

@sadolite
The struggle is real. The struggle is real.
Well I don't know about you,if I decide who I am I can do that.
In regards to what others decide, that's them. I show no concern of what others think as long as there's no harm .
