I don't know you but if people are telling you that you're a good person than you very well may be a good person. No one is without sin and we've all done things we regret. Most people who are bad people (if you wanna call it that) really don't see themselves as such. They convince themselves that they're in the right. Self awareness counts for something.

    TBH, I don't readily call others bad people just because they don't believe in what I believe in. It's between them and their conscience.

    But yeah, I do take others' opinion into account, but only in so far as what's common in my perception of their words and my own perception of reality. If they think I'm a good person for picking up after my trash, then yeah, it's all fine by me--but even then, I qualify it. Under that specific lens, then yes, I am a good person.
