Do you feel like a bad person?

I constantly feel like a bad person and like I deserve bad things to happen to me.
Even when I was younger and at school, I felt like even small bad things that happened to me were punishments to me because I’m a bad person.

Like when boys would kick/throw balls at me on purpose. Or when boys would push each other into me as a joke. Or when a bird pooed on my head when I had a full fringe and nobody told me about it until the end of the school day.

Yea I also feel like I should be tortured often. I’m not meant to have fun or smile I keep telling myself it’s for other people.

This is absolutely hilarious!

I think everyone feels like this sometimes,

The truth is bad things happen,

Regardless.

You have no control over a bird pooping on your hair,

But you’re hurting and you want to have some sort of reason for your suffering,

So you blame yourself.

It gives you a false sense of understanding and makes you think that by being a better person, you can avoid stuff like that in the future.

That’s just not the case.

Birds are going to poop on all of us no matter what,

Its a scientific fact…

:grinning::grin::joy:

I don’t feel like it and I believe that no one deserves punishment, not even Bin Laden. Bad things are always bad things.

I think they were trying to interact with you because they found you interesting, I’m sorry you had such bad times because of it but I don’t think they have meant to harm you.

I feel almost the same, I believe I am a bad person and therefore I don’t deserve good things to happen to me. :no_mouth: but this concept is pretty new to me

I worry about it all the time. I know I’m not good enough and I fear the final judgment.

I feel like just a regular person. There is some good and bad to every person.

I haven’t done anything bad or unlawful in my whole life so no I do not feel like a bad person. I got pooed on the shoulder by a bird at school back in the day. I was wearing a black jumper so it showed up as clear as day. I asked to be excused in class to go to the loo to clean it off. Oh, the embarrassment of it!

pooed is funny word, so many vowels so close together.

In America they say ‘pooped’ instead, right?

yes, we call it poop, or booboo (for some black ppl)

I used to have terrible guilt for the things I’ve done and said to people in the past, and I felt like my mental and physical ailments were karmic punishments for that.
Nobody deserves any of the shite that’s thrown at them.

Its funny because I do know some people that call it “booboo” and they’re all black,

What a weird thing!

To me, it sounds like the boys were the ones who were bad. For me, a bad person is someone who hurts people for no good reason. I don’t think you fit in that category.

Sometimes when I think things like that it’s insecurity. I mean none of us are perfect we all have regrets. I mean during my paranoid episodes I said some very regrettable things. If I don’t forgive myself as I forgive others I can hold onto guilt and feel bad about myself instead of trying to learn from my mistakes and do better. Guilt and blame can become a vicious cycle for me. At least I think that’s what happens to me sometimes. I have to remember progress not perfection.

Sometimes I remember things I did and feel like I’m a bad person. Not even necessarily things that hurt other people but strange things.
