Self Destructive Personalities
Are you one? I know I am.
Even if it's just subconsciously, we'll intentionally harm ourselves / our life in one way or another. I know people here can relate. Why do we do that to ourselves?
Best I can figure is it's a survival mechanism. Things aren't as good as they could be, and we get complacent with them, so have a need to "shock" ourselves out of it. Think of a patient on the table, who gets shocked with a defibrillator to jump start their heart and get it back into proper rhythm. Same concept.
Or I don't know. What's your take?
