Have you ever asked yourself seriously if you think you’re a good person? I bet you have not. Most people don’t think to ask themselves that outside of their life. This question can mean a bunch of things. It can be as simple as do you believe that you are kind to others, do you use manners and hold the door for people? Or it can go as deep as do you believe you’re a good person. This article will walk you through how to find out if you fit in this category.
An article by psychcentral divided this phrase into six categories to figure out if you meet these. The 6 words they used were empathy (be empathetic towards others), compassion (care for others) , kindness (always be kind towards others), altruism (have concern for others), Integrity(always be honest in your words), and inclusivity (be inclusive) . The article quotes that a good person should have followed all of these traits. This is a good example of how to decipher if you are a good person, but it can be much more simple than this.
Think about yourself from the outside. Ask yourself if you were not you, would you be friends with yourself? Do you think you’re a good child, friend, partner, worker, teammate? If you don’t, maybe it’s time to read through this article and ask yourself these questions.
This can be a very easy change as long as you want it, start by thinking more positively, compliment someone randomly or shut down the negative thoughts in your head. All these steps can work together to make you feel and believe you are a good person. Other people were raised to do these things and taught that if they don’t it’s not acceptable. This is also a good way to teach children to grow up to be good people so they carry these traits later in life. Overall it’s a very simple thing that every human should know so that the world stays peaceful and happy!
