I've heard it. I don't believe it outside of people being good in their own perspective.

Most people are overly selfish/greedy and care very little for their fellow man. I would consider them good in the sense that they usually don't actively go around maiming each other or whatever, lol.

i kinda agree with this, they don't go around maiming eatch other etc.......but does something like that make them a good person? If most people aren't good people then they arent'. No need to sugarcoat it as i've heard people say before.

In general people are only out for themselves. This is human nature sadly. Sometimes people give themselves to others more than themselves but often in the end that ends badly as people will take advantage of it.

I actually used to be like that, I had lots of therapy before I kinda got over that and now have a lot more healthy of a balance. I guess if most people were good it wouldn't matter if someone was too invested in others as people wouldn't abuse it.

I ended up spending many years hating myself because I couldn't do everything that everyone wanted from me when in reality they were the ones letting me down by asking too much of me all the time.

I think most people would, if they could get away with it and keep a "clean slate", for sure commit no shortage of heinous or morally bankrupt acts. Literally the only thing keeping most people from being full blown shit is societal expectation. It's why it's so rare for anyone to go out of their way to help someone who actually needs it.

someone brought this up before and said, just because someone isn't trying to actively maim you doesn't necessarily make them a good person, and i kinda agree

I think humans are vengeful by nature, so people try to avoid receiving any of that revenge, making them more apt to be kind to one another.

C. I think things would turn horrible really quick if most people were bad. I guess there's also a need to mention that things aren't really black and white. If, for example, I ask someone to help me with something and they simply say no it doesn't really mean they're bad.

What I'm saying is, there are people who don't donate to charity/save lives/help others who also don't want to blow up things or destroy stuff just for the hell of it. They're not good, but I wouldn't consider them bad either.
