Are you a good person?

Other people judge me to be worthless, e.g. I have often been identified as a troll on discussion forums (although not this one -- at least not yet). According to psychological research, this makes me a despicable sub-human; cf. []Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists | Psychology Today.

But I try to be good. I think it is a moral crime to hurt people. I feel confused and hurt when I am labeled a troll and thrown off sites. (But maybe I deserve to be hurt for all eternity.) I think part of the problem might be that people are so shocked by my history that they mistakenly think I'm lying when I talk about it. So I think it is best not to reveal too much about my history.

I hope this post was not trollish. I am feeling confused.

I just remembered something: A psychotherapist also once identified me as evil and a liar. No psychotherapist ever said I was good. This tells you something about me. I am like that boy in the film Poison with all the other boys spitting into his mouth, except that I really deserve to be spat upon by everyone.

Why? What joy do you get out of lying and scheming?

I work in retail, repairing pc and stuff. Most of the item they sent me are not that broken and still repairable. I would make them think it's not repairable, component must be replaced something like that so that I can charge more. It's for the money. I mean a man's gotta eat right. Don't worry they can afford it.

I am glad your not a dentist, I need my teeth to eat, and if you drill, pull, and put poisonous amalgamates that contain Mucury in my body for no reason... And charge exsobitant prices that take food off my table..

Then what does it make it ?

It's a good hustle. It pays the rent. And my boss is okay with it. Since he's the one who get the most money. And I'm the one who do the job. Damn him. :|

There's a word for what you're doing—several, in fact. None of them are very nice. :thumbdown:

What part of the world are you in? I'd like to make sure I take my stuff someplace else.

So now your mad for getting paid to do your job too, and you feel hustled ?

Hows that feel ?

Wow... What goes around comes around fast sometimes :giggle:

Somebody call Nightline undercover, now that would be worth watching !!

Well he's my boss so can't do nothing. I've been learning the business. Slowly. Gonna learn all the stuff, bookeeping etc. And when I do I'm gonna steal all his client and get the perfect revenge.
But I'm gonna feel guilty about it since he's my friend. He's a good guy considering all of it.

I would think there has to be a silver lining in some of this; as they say, girls tend to like the "bad boys" ::p:
 
don't know

I'm probably not a good person, though the exact definition of a "good person" can be interpreted in many different ways. I'm not the worst most malice person out there, but I certainly have far too many faults. There are a few things I do that I KNOW are wrong, yet still act on these impulses anyways. I try to rationalize these things in my own head to make myself believe it's okay, when I genuinely know it's not. That isn't going to stop me though. So yeah, probably not a very good person. Right now I'm also pretty much a worthless blob that sits at home all day and does nothing, that can't hike up my value very much. I don't know if that makes me a bad person necessarily, just a worthless one.

You want to know how I got these scars?

I often play the 'dumb' customer.
I'll go into a store and make out I don't know anything about the item, or what I need repaired. Then I see if the person serving me is being honest. Of course, I already know what is required, but I like to shop around for the best price and that gives me the chance to test people.

You see, I have a hard time trusting people.

You are a prime example of why I don't trust.

I don't think you or your boss would be happy with what you received if I caught you cheating me.

I always tried to be a good boy, and I like boys so I don't want girls chasing after me. But people perceive me as bad. They always have. I hate myself. Even when I was a small child, my father acted like I was a criminal when I hadn't done anything.

I really don't think so.

I haven't killed anyone or anything like that, but I haven't done anything really amazing or gone out of my way to make the world better. I would say I'm mostly apathetic.

I think some of my customer knows. But they still keep coming. Maybe they enjoy my awkward fake smile, the small talk etc. It's irritating but it's the job. Gotta give them the service they need, for a price of course. Always for a price.

People also keep reminding me that I'm stupid. I guess I should thank them for the reminder. They also tell me I'm the nerdiest person they've ever met. Psychotherapists call me a liar, and so do some people in chat threads (although not on this site, for some reason). When I talk about my experiences in life, people sometimes don't believe me, and I suppose I exude stupidity and moral failure. Well, of course I do. It's no suppose.

I remember as a child reading a book called I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. It was a collection of science fiction stories, including a story about a perfect society in which everyone is beautiful. But this one child was ugly, so society made him beautiful by setting him on fire. The reasoning was that fire is beautiful. I immediately identified with the boy set on fire. I am so physically, morally, and intellectually ugly, as everyone has always pointed out to me, I should be set on fire for the sake of society. I fear people, because I fear their judgment. I am so bad, there are no words to capture it. My birth was a defect in the universe. I guess you could say that, even though I have a mouth, I still can't scream. No one understands. Why should they? They don't have to. People should focus on positive things, not on failure.
 
I don't think anyone knows me well enough to say, and no one is best placed to judge themselves. In my experience people that have claimed to have it sussed and lecture people on what is right and what isn't have been full of shit.

Yes, exactly.

You can't trust anyone to judge themselves.

Some will declare loudly and often how good they are, in spite of their actions showing everything the contrary.

Some will do just the same about how bad they are, in spite of their actions to the contrary. Guilt is a major factor in this.

In my experience, the only real way to have the slightest idea is to observe a person over time.
