    Do you consider yourself to be a good person?
    Do other people?

    What defines a good person, in your opinion?
     
    I'm not the devil,i'm not an angel too..i don't care if i'm good or bad i just do what makes me feel alright.

    i don't know about people,ask them? ;3

    A good person is the one who cares about others feelings and respects the difference between him and people.
     
    I guess I would consider myself a good person, I dont do anything really bad or wrong.I try to help people when and if I can, I try to be as good a person as I can be, though I do have some flaws like we all do.
     
    Very subjective lol

    I consider myself to be an incredibly good, tolerant, patient and kind individual. When I see dead animals on the road, I mourn and place flowers on them. When I see snails or worms on the ground after rain, I pick them up and move them aside, all the while making sure I do not step on any. When someone asks for a hand, I give them an arm. When someone needs help and I am able to help them, I do what I can. Typically, when I'm being taken advantage of, I'm too naive to realize it, too lol

    I think a good person is someone who always has the intention to do good for others / society as a whole and is rarely selfish, unless absolutely necessary.

    An example from my own past regarding when being "selfish" is OK would be when I left my ex. He was incredibly angry, trying to contact me and harrassed me for not sending him photos post-break up/restraining order, but I put my own health and safety above his freeloading needs. I stayed with him and supported him, tried to get him to therapy and to take medication. I endured much over many years; however, one cannot say that in this kind of situation, my needs were not above his. My selfishness, in my opinion, was justifiable, and I can still be considered, by societal norms and ethics, a "good" person.

    :)
     
    I'm impatient, hotheaded and stubborn. But I'm also empathetic, easy going, and witty. Depends on who I'm with. I'm also a huge anti conformist, and will go out of my way to express my dislike for the popular things. I guess that makes me kind of a jerk...
    I do get shifty around girls, and can become kind of rude when I think they like me. Not on purpose though, it's just my gynophobia. But if they aren't trying to flirt, I'm good.
    Now if a boy tried to, I'd get kinda nervous (not trying to be a jerk, I'm into neither boys nor girls!). But overall, I'm a strange character, haha.

    I respect people, I help my family, I'm nice to others and patient. Yeah, I can say I'm a good person.
     
    I'd like to think myself as a good person, but I don't think my opinion really counts, since its biased.
    My family thinks I'm a good person.

    What makes a good person? Selflessness, empathy and caring for others.
     
    I would think I'm a good person. I try to do what's best for other people, help them out, etc. I don't do things to make others feel bad, I don't advertise my distaste, I don't do things that would have negative consequences for others. I'm naturally a fairly kind and tolerant person, I suppose. But I'm also good to myself. I choose to do things that make me happy. I prioritize myself. My reasoning is kind of along the lines of: I am the most important person in my life. Not because I'm particularly special, but because I'm me. I'm a constant in my own life. I'm going to need to take care of myself, because if I get all run down or whatever, then I won't be able to do anything, let alone help anyone else out.

    So I'm selfish. But that's fine. Because I'm as important as anyone else.

    What makes a good person isn't anything definite, really. It all comes down to your own morals and perceptions. I would say that first and foremost, being a good person involves not harming others, intentionally or not. Don't be a dick, basically.
     
    I'm probably not a that good of a person. If I really think about it, I am really quite sarcastic, mean and angry to a lot of people. Of course I'm not evil and I wouldn't do terrible things like mail anthrax to a children's hospital, but I am far from good. I do show some respect and courtesy to others though, just not enough to undo everything else.

    A good person is someone who is nice and takes other's into account as well as themselves.
     
    I hadn't been for a long time.
    Now? I don't know really. I don't know if I'll ever know, to be honest.
    They say that when you let go of what you were, you become what you might be. But what they don't tell you is that when you do, you become a stranger to yourself. It's not something I'm used to, but maybe it's a good thing. Yes, actually, maybe one day I will know.

    A good man/woman is somebody who lives, for themself, and for those they love.
    It actually goes much deeper then that, but then again, who am I to say?
     
    Yes, I am a good person (and yes many have told me so), but I do have my faults too (who doesn't?). Sometimes I find that doing the "right thing" can be troublesome thing, especially amongst the "bad persons". I tend to keep quiet around those types, and not get in their way.

    When it comes to helping people who NEED help, I offer. I don't make a fuss about people's likes or dislikes, I just observe and help. I don't force my "help" upon those who do not wish for it, because I never want someone to feel needy or weak.

    I think a good person is someone who always tries to make people's lives a bit easier, happier, and more fun. One must always be careful to not fall into the category of spoiling a person though. I think it's always good to strike a balance between helping and getting help back, to prevent people taking advantage of oneself. I never expect anything in return, but I wouldn't become someone's "slave", if you know what I mean. One of my favorite quotes is "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Helping people help themselves is the one of the greatest gifts one can give, in my opinion.

    I wouldn't consider myself a good person per se, but I do see myself as a better person than my own father - I'm trying so, so hard not to be like him in any way possible.

    As for other people, they do see me as a good person, as I somehow can brighten up an otherwise tension-filled day. Because of that, people are drawn to me.

    & what is a good person in my own opinion? It is someone who isn't snotty, short-tempered, & prone to emotional outbursts out in public. Also, they shouldn't take small things as if they're the most urgent thing to do. In other words, if the person in question isn't like my father in all aspects, then I can appreciate the person's company.
     
    Other people think I'm saintly, but I've never felt like I was a good person in the least. I think that I am capable of a lot of horrifying evils, but I don't think I will ever act on them.

    A good person to me is someone who is respectful and sensitive to other people and their feelings, and who goes out of their way to help others. So by that definition, I suppose that I am a good person.
     
    I consider myself a "good person" because that is always my intention. Sometimes I don't think before I say things, or really annoy a person because I simply don't know when to shut up, however, I never intentionally do anything wrong or mean to someone else. I feel like as long as you have good intentions that you are a "good person".
     
    I think I'm a good person because I base my idea of what a good person is off of myself. Wait. No.

    I think a good person thinks of other people and does what is good for others even if it's not the best for themselves. Basically selfishness, kind-heartedness, empathy, sympathy, or however you want to word it.

    But really, I can't say if I'm a good person. I can only say that I want to be a better person than I am. I look to others to know if I'm living up to my standards a lot of the time because it's easy to think of oneself as good all time.
