I wish there was a scale of one to ten that we got scored on by....someone? Something? So that we can try to improve and be better people.
This depression has me really messed up. I don't know what I'm like.
Life should be like a job, where you get a yearly review.

I tend to have these thoughts all the time when I am depressed. When I am not depressed--I feel like I am awesome in some ways but not so much in others. And surely, I am not everyone's "cup of tea". Sort of like the saying, "different strokes for different folks...."
As far as human nature being bad--I think most of us tend to be happier when we resist our dark side. People can aim to live their lives in a generous and kind way--it seems like being that way is easier for some people than others but everyone makes mistakes. It is also easier to stay on the high road when our basic needs are met (food, shelter) and we live and work with others trying to do the right thing. Broketech is right--we can develop "blind spots" about some things if we are not self reflective and open to criticism. Develop to many of them and people might not enjoy being around you!
Always treat others as you would want to be treated.....
