Do you generally think of yourself as a decent person?
 

If you met yourself in the street, would you like that person?

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in, but generally yeah.

there's a big difference between likeable and decent.

what did you mean?

OK. would you like yourself?

I don't know, I think I would be too predictable since... well... I'm me.

I would be more likely to be annoyed by the small habits than a stranger, I would be more critical of my own appreance, etc.

yeah, i'm nice to people.. too nice.

i like myself already and i am never bored. i spend most of the day in my own head so i can say this emphatically. however, i don't know if i could stand a long chat with the mirror, it would be a bit absurd.

I honestly think that I would annoy the living hell out of myself, as I do anyway without there even being two of me.

Well under what circumstances would I meet my doppelganger?

I probably wouldn't like my doppelganger at first then really warm up to him after I realized we have so much in common and agree all the time. We'd probably end up both turning gay, fucking for a few weeks, then simultaneously realize that we both have nothing new to offer at all and break up, then never talk to eachother again, because we would know what the other would have to stay.

I think I'm likeable. And I base that on the fact that most people like me, and I feel that's good grounds to base that on. I think because, as opinionated as I may be, I tend to not bother people and voice my thoughts every chance I get. You keep more friends that way.

I would clutch my bag and cross the street if I saw myself walking down the side walk. Then I would accuse myself of racism.

Theres nothing I hate more than decent people, they are usually extremely tedious and boring. I suppose it depends in what sense you mean decent. If you mean in the context we use it in Britain - "He's a decent lad". I most certainly hope I am not.

I like to think that a decent person has the decency to think and act for and according to themself.

I'd much rather be interesting, fun to be around and good to people than decent. The word decent carries with it many negative connections. But I think I get the point of this thread.

I think i'm a lovely person, i grew up believing in Karma and i try to be as nice to everyone as possible. If i met me on the street, i would love me.

I'm a self-serving, insensitive, hypocritical, misanthropic, egotistical cunt. So I suspect my perspective would be skewed.

I like you already

"Don't tell me about nice people, I spent my life in ruins because of nice people" - Morrissey

I strive for decency.
I treat people the way I want to be treated. Yeah!

I'm probably not nice really, but so what?

"A bridge will show you how to fall / More than one good person you can call..."

I choose the hard way always and it pleases me. I think that is what I call decency.

I've never killed a man/woman so yes.

You come across as softer than you make it out to be, and I like you for that. As for me? I don't know. I never intentionally hurt anyone, and I never would. Sometimes I have way too much patience with people, but that doesn't necessarily make me decent.

I would certainly think I was an utter prick. But I'd still have a pint with me and possibly play some sexy games. I'm well fit me.

Yeah. I'm easy going, tolerant, patient, personable. Basically nice. But I have my faults--worst trait, I can be a little selfish. And I find there are many times I'd rather be alone than associate with friends, relatives, and so on.

I generally think of myself as someone who tries to be a decent person.

It makes me wonder if I'd turned out differently without my Catholic boyhood. I mean, I rejected all that by about 18 or so, but it must have shaped how I behave somehow. I still feel a lot of Catholic guilt.

I think pretty much everyone here could relate to that.:cool:

brother gmku, you're simply an introvert. that does not equate with selfishness. it's some people's selfish interest to surround themselves with people.

read this, i swear by it:

I don't think so.
I only go good with other people not another me.

It's not surprising. Catholicism and guilt go hand in hand. Jesus died for "our" sins, remember. :rolleyes:
Islam on the other hand, deals with shame.
I don't mean any of this in a bad way, by the way.
It's just what I've notice about certain religions and how they work on peoples minds.

oh yeah, you hero! It's a constant struggle for me too.

Maybe it's Catholic guilt what I mean by "the hard way"...I don't know. One thing I think is decency with ourselves and our ideas (which is what I meant) and another decency with others. The "with others" part comes pretty easy for me. It's me the one that has a problem with myself. I find myself too weak.

generally yes, but i don't think i'd like myself particularly much if i met myself.

I'm unfit for society. I'm perverted and sick. I'm a disgusting cunt, a vile prick. J'ai honte que je sois. Je me deteste, je suis affreux.

That's what I think of myself from other people's perspective, but I'd think I'm fucking cool.

i generally think of myself as the nicest cunt you'll ever know,

Haha, like the fashionable don't fear God.

Like there is a fashionable.
