Your a bad person
Am I a Bad Person? Questions to Ask Yourself
Like most people, you’ve probably done some things you consider good, some you consider bad, and plenty of things that are somewhere in the middle.
Maybe you cheated on your partner, stole money from a friend, or smacked your child in a moment of anger. Afterward, you felt unhappy with yourself and resolved never to do it again.
You may still wonder what that behavior says about you as a person, resulting in distress and uncomfortable feelings.
Keep in mind that asking yourself, Am I a bad person? isn’t unusual. Simply considering this question shows you have some measure of self-awareness and empathy.
If you try to avoid causing harm, that’s a good sign. If you can acknowledge you have some room for improvement — and who doesn’t? — you’re taking a promising first step toward positive change.
If you need help now
If you’re considering suicide or have thoughts of harming yourself, you can call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration at 800-662-HELP (4357).
The 24/7 hotline will connect you with mental health resources in your area. Trained specialists can also help you find your state’s resources for treatment if you don’t have health insurance.
This is a complex question that doesn’t have an easy answer. Most people would agree that being “good” relates to moral behavior, and an important part of this is being fair to others.
But both “fair” and “bad” can be subjective and hard to define.
Dr. Maury Joseph, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., points out the importance of considering the context of bad behavior.
“If a person makes the only choice available to them, based on their developmental history, the prejudices of the country in which they were born, and their current environment, does that make them bad?”
When it comes to defining “bad”, culture and history also play a role. What is “bad” to one person might not be bad to another. It might be acceptable or even good, depending on the influences around them.
Even the concept of “good” and “evil” being polar opposites is culturally dependent and liable to change over time.
For many of us, a lack of empathy and effacement of the other are signs of unacceptable behavior, but even these can result not from personal choice but from circumstances beyond the individual’s control.
In a nutshell, everyone has a backstory that provides important context for their behaviors. What might be considered bad behavior for one person might seem more reasonable for someone from a different background.
The dark factor of personality
In a 2018 research paper and website, three psychologists suggest that what they call “D,” or the dark factor of personality, lies at the root of unethical or cruel behavior.
D-factor traits include narcissism and psychopathy, along with:
- sadism
- spitefulness
- self-interest
- entitlement
- moral disengagement
- egoism
All of these traits suggest that someone will pursue their own interests at the expense of others.
Maybe you’ve noticed some D-factor traits in your behavior. Regardless, the following questions can help you examine your behavior and identify areas that could use some work.
Many of the choices you make affect people besides yourself. Before you do something, especially if you have doubts about whether it’s the right thing to do, it’s wise to stop and consider whether your action might hurt someone else.
Passing on a workplace rumor to your boss could make you look good, but it certainly won’t help your coworker — especially if the rumor isn’t true.
If the potential impact doesn’t matter much to you as long as you benefit, or you have a hard time considering consequences for others, that may be worth exploring.
In your daily life, do you take time to consider the emotions of people around you? Showing interest in the well-being of others is an important part of maintaining interpersonal relationships.
Maybe you feel guilty because you don’t have a lot of time or energy to help out.
But it doesn’t take much to demonstrate that you care. It’s often enough just to offer emotional support or a listening ear.
It may help to talk to a therapist if you feel indifferent, or if you believe others deserve the distress they experience.
You might do things others consider bad out of necessity. For example, many peoplelie, cheat, or steal on occasion. They may feel bad about doing it, but they may also feel it’s the only option available. Reasons don’t always justify theft or other crimes, but they can help put them into context.
Maybe you stole because you couldn’t pay for something you needed. Or you lied to protect a loved one’s feelings or keep them out of trouble. Sure, these probably aren’t the best moves. But if you have an underlying motive of protecting someone you care about, you’re acting to cause the least harm.
Here are some other reasons a person might do something that is unacceptable for many people:
- They have a mental health issue that affects their judgment.
- They have an addiction that affects their priorities.
- Previous experience, such as abuse during childhood, impacts their ability to behave otherwise.
- Their upbringing or culture has not taught them that certain behaviors are inappropriate in certain contexts.
- Pressure — for example, time pressure at work or peer pressure — leads to mistakes.
Morality is relative and depends largely on the context in which a person grows up and lives. People often feel “righteous anger” when their moral code is breached, for example, regarding individual rights. A person whose social and moral code champions the wellbeing of the community over the individual might feel differently.
If, on the other hand, you do unethical or unkind things in order to hurt others, or for no reason at all, it might be worth reaching out for help.
When others help you or show kindness, do you thank them and show your appreciation, possibly by doing something kind for them in return?
Or do you accept these gestures as something you deserve, something you’re entitled to?
How do you feel when others ask for your help? Do you try to help them get what they need, or do you brush off their requests without making any effort to offer support?
If you take without giving anything in return, and don’t feel at all bothered by that, a therapist can help you take a closer look at why.
The people we’re closest to can sometimes bring out unkindness in us, according to Joseph. “We lash out, we’re nasty, we push them away, we say hurtful things.”
Maybe you tend to say mean things in arguments or put down friends when you feel down.
Most people would certainly consider this bad behavior. But how do you handle the aftermath? Do you apologize, try to make amends, or resolve to communicate better in the future?
You might feel terrible, but regret and remorse can help pave the way toward improvement.
Maybe you don’t care who you hurt. Or perhaps you believe your partner deserves harsh words or other mistreatment because they treated you badly. These are signs you might want to look at your behavior more closely.
Good self-care involves making sure you can get your own needs met. There’s nothing wrong with being a little self-centered on occasion. You shouldn’t feel bad or guilty about not being able to help other people when you’re tending to your own needs.
If you only think about yourself when your life involves other people, such as a partner or children, those other people may face pain or distress as a result.
Children can’t meet a lot of their own needs, so parents generally have to find a way to take care of their emotional and physical needs. This can be tough if you’re dealing with illness or mental health concerns, but a therapist can offer guidance and support.
Professional support can also help if you feel like you don’t really care about anyone else.
You’ve done some introspection and asked yourself some hard questions. Maybe you realize that there are some aspects of yourself that could use improvement.
Everyone is capable of change. If you’ve tried and failed to change, you might feel like there’s no point in trying again. It might seem easier to just stay as you are.
Simply choosing not to do bad things can push you in the right direction. Committing to telling fewer lies, for example, is a significant step.
Here are a few other pointers to help you move forward.
Consider the consequences
Instead of acting on impulse when you want something, ask yourself if your behavior might have a negative impact on anyone. Simply taking a moment to think about this can help you remember that your actions don’t just affect you.
It’s not always possible to avoid hurting everyone. If you proceed with caution and compassion, you can avoid causing unnecessary pain. Thinking things over can also help you find a solution that’s better for all involved.
Practice self-acceptance
It can help to remind yourself that everyone makes mistakes. You may have hurt people, but you aren’t the only one who’s ever done so. What’s most important is learning and growing from the past in order to avoid hurting people in the future.
Even if you’ve done some things that aren’t great, you’re still worthy of love and forgiveness. You may have a hard time accepting this from others until you can grant it to yourself.
Identify your values and live accordingly
Having clearly defined values can help you live a more fulfilling life.
Ask yourself what matters most to you. Honesty, trust, kindness, communication, integrity, and accountability are a few potential examples.
Then, identify changes you can make to help you live out these values, such as:
- always telling the truth
- honoring your commitments
- telling people when something’s bothering you
Talk to a therapist
If you find yourself spending a lot of time wondering about what kind of person you are, therapy can be a big help. Plus, there may be an underlying issue, such as depression, stress, or another mental health concern, that affects your mood and interactions with others.
Therapy is also a safe place to learn more about what drives your behavior and get guidance on more productive ways of getting your needs met. A compassionate, ethical therapist will offer support without passing judgment.
“People with complex, interpersonal problems might put up a façade that prevents people from getting more than a superficial glimpse of them. They seem nasty, guiltless, without remorse. But that may not be the full story,” Joseph says.
Therapy can help people make changes in their behavior, he explains, by allowing them to develop “a deeper understanding of others’ emotions, to see them not as commodities, but more complex.”
Your ability to consider your actions and wonder about their impact suggests you’re probably a better person than you think you are. Even if you’ve done bad things or have some D traits, you’re still capable of change.
The choices you make in life help determine who you are, and you can always choose to do better.

10 signs that you are a bad person
The image of a bad boy in movies is shrouded in romance. But in reality, no one likes bad people - even the same as them. Yes, in human nature there is a craving not only for creation, but also for destruction, so there is nothing strange in the fact that you, looking at yourself in the mirror, cannot say for sure whether you are as good as you think you are. But there are character traits that show that you sow only negativity and evil, and they should be excluded from your life as soon as possible. nine0003
1. Enjoying the misfortune of others
Enjoying good news is the norm, because now the world has become a little kinder. But when you see bad news on the Internet and start to sincerely rejoice, this is a reason to think, because you get pleasure from the pain of others.
Even stranger, when you read positive news (for example, that scientists have advanced in the development of a coronavirus vaccine), you feel angry, because soon the pandemic will be stopped and everything will return to its previous positions.
nine0003
2. People around you are uncomfortable
Subconsciously, some people feel both positive and negative personalities, and on the basis of intuition, they make a decision to continue communication or end it. And if such “sensitive” people avoid you in every possible way and you see how uncomfortable they are around you (and indeed most people), then this means one thing: your society does not please others.
3. You show cruelty to animals
One of the most insignificant actions is to mock someone who cannot resist you or, moreover, trusts you. Since about the 1970s, research by psychologists has consistently shown that those who experienced animal cruelty as children are potential delinquents and are more likely to become criminals in the future. nine0003
And if you feel pleasure from a powerful blow to the stomach of a stray dog or take out your anger on a cat, pulling his scruff, then you should think about how deep your karma has sunk and what is the chance that in your next life you will become a stone.
4. You make inappropriate jokes
It is unlikely that in the life of at least one person there has not been such a jerk who would not make greasy jokes that offend other people - perhaps even in the face. And this is doubly vile, because humor is meant to cheer up, and in this case it is used to humiliate others. nine0003
Jokingly hinting to a person that he is a beggar, while realizing that by doing this you will make him feel embarrassed, mock your colleague in a vulgar manner, knowing that after that she will cry for a long time - this is a social bottom and a sure way to get a ticket into an individual infernal cauldron.
5. You act only for profit
There are altruists who will take off their last shirt for the sake of their neighbor. There are ordinary people who adequately assess profit and morality and harmoniously combine them. And there are those who do everything for their own benefit. Such people will stop at nothing to get money, fame, a career or other benefits, and will go over their heads just to achieve their own.
And the fact that it hurts others does not bother them. nine0003
Many people have suffered because of such actions, and if you treat others only from a position of benefit and you don’t care how your actions affect others, then congratulations: you are one step closer to the probability of becoming a stone in your next life .
6. You are a racist, sexist and any other “ist”
In the 21st century, when there are essentially no boundaries, when all races, nations and genders are represented in all spheres of human activity, to be a racist or a sexist is — this is stupid. But it's not your prejudices that make you bad, it's how you show them. nine0003
Openly insulting migrants because they do not belong to your nation, exploiting your woman as a slave who only has to give birth and obey her master, constantly humiliating everyone who is younger or older than you - this is what makes you an extremely undesirable person in any society, except for some dubious organizations.
Why do you turn into a grumpy asshole with age
7. You do not feel guilty for what you have done
opinion bad. But there are also those to whom the feeling of guilt is alien and who pushes all their problems onto others. In their paradigm, there is only their undeniable will, and if something negative happens, they do not experience an overwhelming sense of guilt. Instead, they exacerbate the situation even more, making the victim of the conflict feel like the aggressor. nine0003
8. A secret for you is an empty phrase
Everyone has had such moments when they wanted to share something secret with loved ones. Naturally, keeping it a secret. And there will definitely be a person who can be confidently called a yap, one who will not only tell the secret to others, but will do it in a humiliating and insulting manner, showing how insignificant and ridiculous a person who trusts is.
The secret of "confession" must remain a secret, unless it is some terrible illegal act.
nine0003
9. You bully people
Every school has at least one or a few children who bully others in every possible way. This point could be attributed to taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, but here we are talking about direct impact and rather about senseless anger.
Bullying is a heinous act that should disappear from all spheres, starting from kindergarten and ending with relationships between colleagues at work. Just know that bullying often drives victims to desperate measures, including the last decision of their lives. nine0003
10. You lead an asocial lifestyle
It's about not giving a damn about those moments that can cost others comfort or even life. Barbecue people who crowd in shops and yards with friends like them and infect each other with the coronavirus, outcasts who throw garbage out of windows, spitting not only on the environment, but even on the norms of decency, lovers to break something that they does not belong, "for fun" - all these are individuals with whom adequate people do not want to have common affairs.
Good qualities that we lose with age
How do you know if you are a good person or a bad one?
89 578
Man among men Know thyself
Peel is the first impression of you. This is what everyone knows about you, from the barista who sold you coffee this morning to the unfamiliar colleague at work. How do you know what it tastes like to you? It is not difficult.
Remember how polite you are with waiters, salespeople, taxi drivers. Do people like you when you first meet? Will your unfamiliar colleagues call you friendly? If you can confidently answer “yes” to all these questions, then do not hesitate: your skin tastes quite good. nine0003
Now let's dig deeper. Pulp. Friends, family, those who know you well, all deal with her. Do you often gossip? Do you judge people? Don't stand up for loved ones? Are you cowardly? Do you rejoice in the failures of your friends? Do you like to talk only about yourself? Can't keep secrets? Are you not paying back your debts? Do not mind lying from time to time? If so, then your pulp, alas, is no good.
Now we have reached the core. You open it only to the very closest, some people do not show it to anyone at all. Test yourself: imagine that there is a button next to you that you can press, and then your cherished dream will come true. True, about 1000 random people will die at the same time in the world. But no one will ever know that you pressed it. Click? If your answer is "yes", your core is hopelessly damaged. nine0003
If we divide a person into peel, pulp and core, and call each of these three parts "bad" or "good", then eight types of people will be obtained. Let's see what these types are (we go from the peel to the core).
Good-good-good
Saints to the core, not losing faith even in notorious villains. Most often make friends among the "bad-good-good".
Advantages : Without such people, we would definitely be lost, and if we really need to trust someone, then only them, they will not let you down. nine0003
Flaws : With their arrival, the fun goes away, because what is fun is not always right.
Bad-good-good
At the first meeting they make a terrible impression, but dig a little deeper and you will discover their beautiful inner world. People like to hang out with such people of the “good-good-good” series.
Virtues : They hate hypocrisy and cowardice, they are extremely principled. People respect them and often choose them as their leaders. nine0003
Weaknesses of : Some of them are not alien to star fever, because inside they are so wonderful, despite the outer shell.
Good-bad-good
When they first meet, they seem cute, but their friends, who are mostly good-bad-good, know that this is far from being the case. "Good-bad-good" often suffer from low self-esteem.
Advantages of : They are always fun to be with, and in general their communication skills are top notch. nine0003
's Flaws: They can be hypocritical and cowardly, but they are generally harmless.
Bad-bad-good
Long is the list of those they offended, but their friends will always defend them fiercely. And they are mostly friends with people like them, or with “good-bad-good”, or with completely “bad”.
Virtues : Of course, they can be very unpleasant, but they have a good heart.
Weaknesses : These can be very annoying. nine0003
Good-good-bad
Such people are very dangerous, at first they like them, win your trust and even love, and then ruthlessly break your hearts. They often converge with "good-good-good" and then very painfully diverge from them.
Advantages : Of course, their main goal is only their own success, but while they are moving towards this goal, they manage to do something good, such people often go into politics.
's Flaws: They are manipulative and hurt those closest to them the most. nine0003
Bad-good-bad
This type of person is very rare.
They are often deluded into thinking that their core is actually good.
Virtues : They often become successful in the criminal business. A bad skin produces the necessary intimidating effect, a good pulp helps to establish contacts, and a bad core allows you to go over the heads to your own goal.
Cons of : They are really very bad.
Good-bad-bad
Everyone has fun with such a person, but only everyone knows that he is basically a complete trash.
Virtues : Excellent contenders for the role in Desperate Housewives.
Flaws : The most hypocritical of all presented.
Bad-bad-bad
Here he is, the classic villain in all his glory. They do not understand people with a good core and despise bad people who try to appear good.
Virtues : They are not hypocrites, they are what they are, they make excellent stand-up artists, and also the leaders of the mafia.
