What Makes Someone A Bad Person?
Good morning, dearest patients!
Lately, I’ve been thinking about what makes someone a “bad person.” Is it really so black and white? I’ve done things in my past that I regret—things that hurt others. But I’ve learned, sought help, and changed. I apologized to those I hurt, but does that erase what I did? I still made those choices. I still caused pain. Even though I’ve grown and tried to become better, I wonder if that’s enough.
I don’t like labeling people as simply “good” or “bad.” I believe it’s more important to look at their actions: do they try to change and make amends, or do they keep hurting others without remorse?
What brought this up? I’ve been getting anonymous messages lately. Some people are defending my groomer and accusing me of doxxing him. To be clear, I did not dox him. I told him to leave me alone and stop checking my pages, or I would contact the police in his city. That’s not doxxing—I never threatened to leak his information, nor would I ever.
I’ve also been accused of being friends with or dating an abuser. That accusation made me feel sick. I know what kind of person he is, and I would never support that. He contacted me publicly about an image, and when we spoke privately, he revealed his identity. People twisted the situation because I didn’t want to share the details of our conversation. He has hurt many people and refuses to apologize or change. To me, that’s what makes someone a “bad person.”
I’m sorry for not telling everyone sooner that he reached out to me. I just didn’t want to get involved any further.
Thank you for listening. These things have been weighing on me, but I’m committed to honesty and growth.
