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.

gmku · 06.10.2007, 11:22 AM

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.

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.

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.

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.

Toilet & Bowels · 06.10.2007, 08:53 PM

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

eatmychild · 06.12.2007, 07:16 AM

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.

soapbars · 06.12.2007, 07:43 AM

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