How do you personally determine if someone is a good or bad person? - Lemmy.World

If you don’t agree with the concept of good or bad people, you dont have to answer. If you think a person is good or bad based on where they were born you don’t have to answer.

I’ve always struggled with it, so I’ve learned to ask someone better at character judgement than I.

I used to check with my dog. Then I met my wife and found out over a year how moral she was and how consistently she applied those morals. Now I ask her.

Out of curiosity and nothing else, why do you think you’re a poor judge of character? And are you neurodivergent in some way (I’m an ADHD enjoyer, btw, I’m not hating here)?
Past experience, mostly. My neurons are divergent as well, and anyone who was nice to me could get my trust, which often turned into someone taking advantage of me or backstabbing me.
Thanks for the reply. I’m glad to know you’ve found someone you can trust safely!
