what do you think makes a person good?
what do you think makes a person good? what can one do so people can acknowledge that this person is a good person? and what can one do to not be acknowledged as that?
one of my biggest struggles lately was not believing i am a good person. i feel like im the worst person alive. i dont like people saying how you just have to “love yourself” or confidence or whatever cliche things people like to say that never really helps. because it’s not that easy it’s never that simple.
im having an identity crisis where i lost who i was. i dont know who i am anymore. i also dont know if im a good person. and every time i do any type of mistake no matter how small it is i always breakdown at the thought of me not being good. of me being a bad person. i repeat to myself how im not a bad person hoping to believe it. hoping that its true. but how could i? i dont think im a good daughter. a good sister. a good friend. a good student. a good muslim. i dont think im good at anything so how can i ever say that im a good person? every little mistake knocks me down so hard and i end up so low my mind convincing me that im horrible. as i’ve said i’ve lost myself so i have no idea what i think makes people good or not. but im interested to hear your views on it. what do you think makes a person good?
@pluckyCoconut4376 If someone you loved and cared about deeply said they felt this exact same way, what would you say to them? As I read your post, sadness entered into my heart because I could relate to everything you just said... and it's not a good feeling.
I, too, have battled with the question if I'm "good" or "bad". Just a matter of fact, I did in the wee hours this morning. That's probably why your post hit me. But I'll tell you what someone told me-- "bad people" don't wonder whether they are good or bad. It's just something they probably wouldn't care or let affect them emotionally.
But know this, 🥥-- while we as humans all have the potential for good and bad, we were created in God's image. That means we possess some of his traits and he's in us. We just have to nurture it and keep trying to be our best version of self. God also does not require perfection from us. We may be flawed and imperfect but we are still very much beautiful creatures with good in us. Just take a look around at those amazing, influential, loving people you may have in your life. Take a look at the beautiful souls here that make up this community. We feel. We love. We care. We show up. We help. It's more than just good v bad. It's intentions and what's in the heart, in my opinion. And it's totally ok to make mistakes, Coconut. Your mistakes do not define you! Forgive yourself, learn from it, and move on. Keep on trying. You're worth so much love and forgiveness. Nurture the beauty in you and let your outsides reflect what's in your core. Sending hugs and love your way. 🤗🤎
this touched me. i’m so sorry you feel the same way and thank you so much for replying. i’m sending u lots of love and hugs💞
I think you just questioning what is a good person makes me think you are already trying to be one. I think it’s about trying to doing the right thing at the end of the. It’s not always possible bi Atleast your trying and I think that is good enough for me. Adam
maybe. thank you adam sending u lots of love
