Does how people treat you in your life determine if you are a good person or a bad person?

If enough different people treat you bad, does that mean you are a bad person?

If enough different people treat you good, does that mean you are a good person?

If I judged myself based off of entirely how other people treat me, I would be constantly minimizing myself. I would try to make the negative better but sometimes you can’t fix it because they just don’t like you no matter what you do. It needs to be a bit of give and take, yes I will try to be likable enough not to be horrible, but I will not minimize who I am exclusively for the comfort of others. I need to find my people, I can’t do that without being me.

I don't think the way people treat you define your worth or how good/bad a person you are. That reflects whether they think you're either or.
Isn't it based on your actions, thoughts and choices you make? Other people's perceptions don't weigh in on that, your own moral compass does in my opinion.

truth is no matter how your treated I have seen people with both parents dead by age 12 and come out of the foster system be the most positive people on the planet and want nothing more than to help people around them and the sad truth is people who kill others and stuff they dont get that excuse they did it because they did not want to move on and that is just wrong

no in this world, if people treat you bad, you are probably very nice. this world about power. you have to get into your strength to deal with it and it takes time to realize other are not like you and may be very selish and wiked in their motives. corruption reigns.

Because it’s quite the opposite.. good people get treated bad, and bad people get treated good.


You can be the nicest person in the world and be walked all over. While the person who’s tough and mean might be treated with respect.


I think it’s best to be nice but don’t take anyone’s shit.


It could also be Karma.. if you treat people badly, you’ll receive that same negative energy, while if you are polite to others, good things can come your way 🫶

the problem is that people have their own agendas. if you never meet them then you aren't likely to be a part of it. but if you meet them then an agenda has usually begun.

Yeah I think that’s actual karma. Nothing ephemeral. Just surround yourself with good people and good acts, less bad shit falls out of the sky.
