How can you tell if you're a bad person?
I feel like if I asked any of my friends they'd say I'm not... but no one knows you as welll as yourself, y'now? Or maybe my superego's just at me.
If you're asking this, you probably have suspicions towards the fact. The question then being what makes you unsure whether you're good or bad?

Mean or bad? Your friends even knowing depends on how you act around them. Mean doesn't necessarily mean bad and bad doesn't necessarily mean you're mean.
It's hard to say whether someone is a good person or is a bad person. You have to know everything about someone and then vaguely decide whether their actions in average are generally good or bad. It's a flawed process since some people only focus on positive things and other people give more weight to negative things. You might be terrible and consider yourself a saint or you might be a saint and consider yourself terrible, for all I know.
How about this: if you met yourself, do you think you would befriend yourself? A friend is someone who generally has a positive impact on your life. If you met a carbon copy of yourself, would you have a positive impact on your life?

It wouldn't hurt to ask your friends, OP. They might sugarcoat it, but it helps to ask.
There is no objective good or bad, only ideals formed by society. You are good if your actions and thoughts are positive according to the mainstream culture. You should be able to figure out for yourself if you're "a good person" according to your peers. Do you do anything that people around you frown upon? Do you have any thoughts, opinions or believes that your acquaintances would find unacceptable?
You can also be a good person from a perspective and a bad person from a different perspective. For instance people in French would perceive you as a good person for liking gays, but people in Sudan would see you as a bad person.
What I'm getting at is that it's all subjective and you should only be worried of being perceived as a good person, not actually being one.

Write us shortened summary of why you think this might be the case.
Keep in mind no one is a 'bad' person unless they cause or perpetrate violence (physical/emotional) upon others.
