I’m a bad person and i’m aware of it. does that make me worse?

I suck as a person and I’m aware of it. I can be rude and blunt and cold, part of me regret it, part of me don’t. I’ve been trying to change myself, I WANT to change myself but up until now I’m still the same way, maybe even getting worse. I lost my emotional connection with my siblings and my mom because of my ugly attitude. Even my mom called me “fake” and “rude”. They don’t really like being around me and I don’t blame them. I’m just tired of trying to be good and the responsible one. I should probably just accept that that’s just the way I am. Mean, scary, crazy, rude, fake, lazy and everything bad you can think of - that’s me..

  • If you’re a bad person then why don’t you just build a secret hideout in a volcano and get a fluffy cat to stroke while plotting your evil plans?

      Some attractive facial scars would also help.

        No, ugly scars. The attractive scars are for the mentor of the plucky young hero that's come to defeat OP.

    You don't have to accept that this is just how you are and you're doomed to constantly piss people off with your obnoxious behaviour.

    I guess from other things you say that you're in your teens. That's a difficult period in most people's lives, when hormones and trying to figure out who you really are can make it very difficult to deal with other people and life in general in a sane way.

    You've recognised that you sometimes behave like a dick, and that's a big step forward. Lots of assholes never gain the insight necessary to recognise that most of their problems are due to their own attitudes, and they instead insist on blaming others for everything that goes wrong in their life.

    Only a saint would never be cruel, irrational, obnoxious, phoney or lazy. Most people are all of those things now and then.

    I suggest you stop being so hard on yourself, recognise that you are capable of behaving in ways that are less difficult for others to deal with (which only creates more problems for yourself), and make a habit of mentally counting to ten when you feel the urge to say or do something dickish rising in yourself. Learning that a genuine apology for things you come to regret saying or doing is not a sign of weakness would also be a step forward, and it might help you to act more decently when a similar situation arises in future.

    • I always try not to be rude. I don’t like confrontations or arguments. I try to stay away from them as much as possible even if people starts taking advantage of me or stepping all over me. But I’m quite an irritable person, but I’m also quite good at suppressing it especially of Im at work or school, I’m so good at it that it tends to bottle up inside. And when I’m at home and my guard is down and someone does a little something that annoys me, I tend to overreact and end up being an asshole, taking out my frustration on them. Trust me I always ALWAYS try not to be but sometimes I can’t control myself. I hate it. I really really really hate it..

        That's all pretty normal.

        Maybe you could find some sort of outlet for your frustrations so you don't take them out on members of your family? Lots of people find that some sort of physical activity helps with this.

        I'd also suggest that you might try to learn to assert yourself in a controlled way when you think people are taking advantage of you. That could help prevent the anger from building up in the first place. We all have to deal with situations where we have little power, and there's no shortage of assholes who get their rocks off by showing that they're more powerful than us, but that doesn't mean we have no option but to suck it up all the time. You don't have to get all in their face; just calmly telling someone that they're being unreasonable or asking them why they're behaving as they are can sometimes make them reconsider. And at least you have the satisfaction of knowing you've expressed your views, and if they continue to behave like an ass, that's on them, not you.

        While you hate how you behave sometimes with people close to you, you also clearly have some insight into why that is. Like I said before, coming back to people after you've calmed down, apologising, and explaining what _really_ led to your outburst is generally a good idea.

    There's no such thing as a bad person. Only bad decisions.

    The fact that you regret it means you are not a bad person. You just are in a bad mood sometimes

    I mean at least you're aware of it right I don't see how it makesyou worse. In my opinion it would be worse if you weren't aware BC then you'd be either sociopath or psychopath

    Yes it is worse if you're aware of it because you know you act like an ass yet do nothing to change.

        Try harder? It's never impossible. Everyone has bad qualities. It just takes a lot of work with any type of change.

    • I’m not sure how to explain but I think its mostly because I’m an irritable person. But when I’m outside like at work or school, I’m very quiet and calm, you know? And I feel like when bad things happen, for example, a coworker or a classmate is making me do what they were supposed to do, I let it slide easily, I pretend that i don’t care even though I do. And I feel like that frustration bottles up inside me making me lose control of my temper when I’m around people(my family) who I’m comfortable with expressing with how I really feel in a bad way that they don’t deserve. And I hate myself for it. I always try to convince myself rationally “They did nothing wrong. They didn’t do it on purpose. Its not a big deal. Let it go” but sometimes my temper gets the best of me and I end up being mean and rude to them. I’m not really sure if that’s the reason why I’m so nice at work/school and not really at home.

        It sounds like you need to gain some confidence and get better at standing up to people outside your comfort zone. It's never good to let people take advantage of you like that. Family can definitely be annoying though, maybe they deserve it sometimes. Lol

  • ...Nobody else is going to call it out? Nobody? Ok, I guess I will.

    You are a fake. Not in the way you are trying to indirectly brag about, and I'll put money on your mother calling you "fake" in the same way I believe you are.

    You're bored and uninteresting. You have too much time on your hands and instead of actually going out and doing something you're spending all this spare time trying to convince yourself you're interesting instead of actually going out and putting the work in to be interesting.

    Something I noticed in your post is that you refer to your behaviours solely with your family, there's no mention of friends, social life, etc, which makes me believe that as I mentioned above, you're just bored and use your free time to convince yourself you're interesting because you don't use your time to do interesting things.

    You're fake because you want to pretend you're all these things but in actuality you're not, you're just bored and don't push yourself out into the world like adults have to. You're stuck in your teenage angst stages (or possibly are still a teen). That's why you're fake.

    • I AM bored and I AM an uninteresting person. And trust me I’m COMPLETELY aware of that. I didn’t mention my behaviors with my friends because they only see the good side of me. I’m usually shy and quiet, the type who keeps things to herself good or bad, and it takes a lot of time and effort for me to open up. I tell my friends I’m not really as innocent and as nice as I seem to be because I didn’t want them to feel like I’m pretending to be this nice person and gets disappointed afterwards but at the same time I don’t want them to think of me as a bad person. You were right about the fact that I don’t really go out much, I’m quite an introvert and I’m the type who makes excuses not to go out but of course, once in a while I do.

    If you can't change yourself, you should try talking to a therapist.

    fam. listen. you need to change
    not for me, or any other fucking stupid person, ok. if you realise you are a bad person, that immediately means you can be good, and somewhere inside, YOU WANT TO BE GOOD. fuck everyone else, ok?? FUCK EM. be the best you can, for yourself, so that you can be happy

    oh, and btw, Karma is a thing. a true powerful force.. so yeah. be good for your self, and the world might admire that sincerity

    • I lose my temper at times. And I overreact to little things and end up saying mean and rude things I don’t really mean but I also have a hard time saying sorry to the things I do wrong (especially when theyre partly at fault), which makes it 100x worse.

        If you're not under-exaggerating then I wouldn't say you're bad. I think the outlined points fall under the range of normal human imperfection.

        Also, saying sorry can be really hard, I have that problem a bit too. It's one of those things you really just have to give in and lose a bit of face.
