If your real life isn’t fulfilling and satisfying, you can’t really ask or answer questions here, can you?
This content is machine-translated.
I took a look around for the first time in a while, and it seemed like a gathering of people with such happy real lives that they had time to kill.
I’m jealous.
So, I’ll imitate them and ask: Do you consider yourself a good person, sincere, a gentleman or lady, and someone with common sense?
I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
People around me think I’m a “good person,” but I consider myself a bad person. It’s pretty ironic, really. People can be fooled by how someone treats them on the surface.

I’ve been so busy with work and my personal life lately that I’m answering questions as a form of escapism. This is Marika.
> I’m going to ask a question similar to yours: Do you consider yourself a good person, honest, a gentleman, a lady, or someone with common sense?
When it comes to the people I’m dating, I try to be a good person, and I assume things continue because I’m good for them.
As for whether I’m honest—I keep the fact that I’m seeing other people completely hidden, so I consider it honest as long as I don’t get caught.
A lady? I’m not really sure how to define that. I wasn’t poor, but I didn’t come from a particularly well-bred family, so I wouldn’t say I’m especially refined.
Still, I’m an adult, so I might be able to put on the act of a sort of fake lady who can handle herself reasonably well in various situations…?
And common sense? I’m not sure. Since I’m managing to get through everyday life normally, I suppose I’m doing okay.

It’s me.
“Having common sense” → the thing I’m least confident about
“Being a good, sincere, gentlemanly person” → I think I at least meet the bare minimum
But when you get right down to it, I think other people’s opinions matter more than your own self-assessment.
I try to maintain a healthy sense of self-worth, and I think I have quite a strong need for validation too. That’s exactly why I really value people who are willing to point out my flaws.
There are so many things I wouldn’t realize were wrong with me unless someone told me, lol.
Questioner, you should try asking someone you trust, “What are my good qualities?”
I’m sure they’ll point out lots of strengths you don’t know you have—or haven’t noticed in yourself yet!

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member with so much happiness in real life that I have time to spare.
The fact that I can simply type these words feels like a miracle—something to be deeply grateful for.
Even being able to say hello is a miracle. Being able to go to work on my own, without giving it a second thought, is something remarkable too.
Every day is filled with happiness, but when things feel too ordinary, we may not even notice it…
When I drive every day, pedestrians and cyclists often bow to thank me. Even when people make the same casual stops while driving, some get glared at while others are thanked. I feel that what we spread to those around us must be different.

I’m Shingo Lee, a columnist.
As for whether I’m happy… not really, lol.
Life doesn’t feel fulfilling unless you put some kind of pressure on yourself.
>> I’m going to imitate your question and ask: would you describe yourself as a good person, an honest person, a gentleman, a lady, or someone with common sense?
Common sense exists to make our judgments easier.
I don’t claim to possess such a thing.
I’m constantly questioning and thinking things through.
As for manners and conventions, I simply “know” them.
I don’t use them as the basis for my own thinking.

That’s not necessarily true. Everyone has their own struggles. We’re all doing our best to get by, so please don’t envy other people or think you’re the only one having a hard time.
As for whether I’m a good, sincere person—I’m not answering while pretending to be some saint. When someone is struggling, I’m simply offering another way of looking at things.
In the end, it’s up to the person who asked the question to decide.
You’d be better off letting go of those self-deprecating thoughts. They show on your face.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
I wouldn’t say I’m completely fulfilled or living an exceptionally satisfying life, but I don’t think I could answer this unless I was at least reasonably content with my day-to-day life.
I often come across questions from people who seem unhappy, so I’m not sure what to make of it.
As for myself, I think I’m a reasonably good and reasonably sincere person, but I’m not confident enough to say that definitively.
I’m a small-minded person with some rather grubby desires.
I believe I have my own sense of common sense, but if you ask whether it aligns with society’s general standards, I can’t say that with confidence either.
