Sounds to me you are doing a bit of soul searching. That is a good thing. When people say you are a dickhead, that may be hurtful but it means you need to considder the question.

One way of improving oneself is to constantly ask this question: How is this my fault? Even if it is really not your fault, it is useful to try find some way to blame yourself. The problem with something being someone else`s fault is you cannot correct another person`s behaviour.

I always go by the mantra **** what anyone else thinks maybe that can be the wrong way to go about things, I never go out of my way to hurt anyones' feelings

I think I'm a dickhead but everyone tells me I'm a good person,it's so frustrating

I don’t think that dichotomy of good or bad, dick head or nice person really exists.

We are all complex and what others think of us is really just their perception which has been influenced by their existing beliefs, biases and life experiences.

I believe myself to be a good person for example, but I know that there are some people who may not agree with that because they view me through their own unique lens which informs their (sometimes negative) opinion.

When the The Fiery Cross is sent 'round I answer the call. That's all that matters.

I'm personable.

I ask this a lot, but it just seems to annoy the person I'm asking even more...

And when they scowl at you, you say, "I've had my fun, and that's all that matters."

Like everyone else I have my flaws, but overall I'm a good person. So yes, I'm a good person.

I certainly have my share of problems, including anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and occasional neediness, but I am told by others that I am a very generous, considerate, loving and thoughtful person who has good manners...

...so I would hope that, on balance, that would make me a reasonably good person.

Just because you get told your an a55h0le three times in the one day, doesn’t make it true

If you believe there are no bad people, I deeply envy the life you've lived

I'm good to the right people. To everyone else I'm the prick they deserve.

Atoms for Peace

I'm a total bastard.

Am I perfect? No. But do I try, every day, to be a better human being? Also no.

I don't care what they say

Frustrating? I find it useful.

I'm not the person I'd like to be but I'm working on it. I don't think I'm a really bad person but I could do with a bit of work alright. The moral compass is a bit skewed.

Yes I'm a good person. I don't lie cheat or steal. I always treat people with respect and kindness. Bar a couple of times when I was a teenager the hardest drug iv done is tobacco and I rarely drink. My life experiences though have shown me that most of the time it's the person being a complete bad bastard that wins in most situations.

Drinking makes someone a bad person?

No of course not. When I do have a drink I love an icy vodka and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just meant that I don’t drink excessively.

I also think you're a dickhead. Hope that helps.

am i good, probably not, am i bad, again probably not. Who can honestly answer if they are a "good person" or not. I try to be kind and empathetic to others, thats all i can do.

Essentially good.

Bit grumpy and weird sometimes though.

It would entirely depend on who you asked I would imagine.

I'm an 8/10.
