Yes. That gives me the ick.

True personality shows when your decisions cost you. If a person acts a certain way when it would genuinely cost them - some reputation, some comfort, some amusement, some pleasure - if they more often than not react to these costs in a certain way, that certain way is part of their character.

But you have to remember that people are complex. There's layers to the human mind. (Which is why we can lie to ourselves - something inconceivable if human minds were a single layer where the liar and the lied-to were the same). One of those layers is your physiological wiring. Some people are physiologically wired to shut down their empathy when their blood sugar gets beneath a certain point. Some are wired to be explosive when not having enough sleep. That doesn't mean they get a pass to go around spitting in people's faces, but just keep in mind that not all datapoints are the same. The character is how they consistently choose to act and if their physiology makes certain choices incredibly difficult, you should leave some margin of error for that.

So if you try to be a good person more than not when your brain is hardwired to make you a bad person then that makes you a good person? So if you have one bad day that doesn't define who you are as a person? I think of it like someone who gets drunk and becomes uninhibited then does bad things then that is because their true personality came out, but you're saying our true personality is who we choose to be every single day and not just on one bad day? Sorry if these questions seem retarded because I am probably retarded

I wouldn't say the brain hardwires you to be a bad person. I think from an outsider perspective one might get "bad person" datapoints from the way your physiology has wired you, but I would argue that this conclusion should be suspended. You are the person you choose to be. Where the cost is overwhelming (stress+hunger+humiliation+fear...) or where the cost is negligible (mere gesture) should be exempt from the evaluation.
>if you have one bad day that doesn't define you as a person
It doesn't. It might reveal something about you but I can't imagine someone's whole personality becoming apparent in the span of 24 hours.
>drunk
>uninhibited then does bad things
These seem like legitimate datapoints. Alcohol has lots of effects - loss of balance, slurred speech, unclear vision. But for example sleeping with your best friend's wife isn't a clinically replicated effect. That's something you chose. If you were black-out-drunk and recently dumped and she made the first move and 10 other circumstances, maybe the choice the drunk person made doesn't have the weight it would've had otherwise, but I'd still keep it in the dataset.
>I am probably retarded
Same. That's why I developed the language you see above.

Define bad person

>do you think when someone is angry then their true personality shows

No, I think that's nonsensical. Most of us have had moments of anger where we've said or done things we deeply regretted upon cooling down, because anger doesn't show our true personality but rather brings out the worst of our personality, unless one wants to reason that our anger is our truest nature with all of our joys, sorrows, and other emotional states being nothing but insincere masks, which again I believe is nonsensical.
