Do People Label You A "Goody-Good" Or "Goody Two Shoes"?

I am 24 now, but growing up (and even today), people label me a Goody-Good. I am a dependable guy. I arrive at things early. I get shit done early. I read books. I workout and eat healthy. I finished college and have a great job. And I workout and eat healthy. I am also nice to people. -When I was a in middle school-high school, I used to get teased by the other kids and they would call me a good two shoes, just because I didn't get in trouble, did things on time and treated people correctly. When some of my friends would get made at me, they would mention how much of a goody good I am and that I never do anything wrong. -Even at my jobs during college, people would label me a goody good for doing my work well, never saying no to management (which got me promotions) and people would be surprised when I tell them I drink at bars, watch p*rn or go to clubs sometimes. -My older sister has always hated me deep down for being the "good child". While I was working hard to make my future good, she was a partier, heavy drinker, dropped out of school and was homeless sometimes. She used to always ask me why I was so "good". She recently reformed and she recently reached out to me. She started cursing when I was talking to her, but she apologized to me for it because she says that I am such a godly person and she knows I don't curse -_-. I'm just a guy who tries to do well for himself body and mind. I have a great job, nice place and car. I watch p*rn sometimes, I drink at bars, I curse (just like everyone else), I've been to clubs and strip clubs... but people always label me a goody good? Why do people do this? Have you ever been labeled this?

I just never saw the value in being stupid, being an asshole or acting up in class. Maybe I am just more mature than most people. Why am I wrong for that?

  • ALWAYS. I've never had a detention or anything whatsoever of that nature. I get great grades and BARELY EVER get lower than a B on any grade. People call me a goody-two-shoes but it spent bother me because I'm like "at least I stay after school with my Quiz Bowl coach and not with the principal" and things like that. It gets annoying, but I just laugh when people say it to me.
    Yeah. I wear two shoes. And I don't get in trouble. Got a problem?

    • I meant don't instead of spent. I hate autocorrect.

  • I am labeled that all the time. By family and friends. They feel I'm so pure and too much of a "goody goody". Just because I'm a great worker, nice person, never had altercations unless provoked. I mean even my aunt says that one day I should surprise her and not come home after work or class and do something spontaneous lol. It kinda sucks but I guess I don't mind yo be labeled forever as the "goody two shoes"

  • I have also been labeled a "goody-good". Really, I just think that people enjoy labeling others. Just because you act different than them doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you. In the end you are probably more successful than all of those people that labeled you. You seem to have very good habits.

    • I am more successful. Everyone who has given me that label has messed up drastically in life, decided to opt out of college, went to jail or had children immediately after high school. I know this... because I got curious and checked their Facebooks XD.

  • People who only see my public image and don't know me personally do.

  • I've been labeled that before. Good to notice that you're not preachy about 'doing good.

    Trust me, on a subconscious level, those that try to degrade u doing common good,

    are doing so out of jealousy. They KNOW they you are way more likely to do better in life than them, and they can't stand it!

    So next time you're called a "goody good" consider it a badge of honor by your haters (because they ARE hating on you).

  • Because I do not drink, smoke, or use drugs. Well not illegal drugs just prescriptions.
