In psychology, this is known as self-destructive behaviour. The individual feels like a victim and deliberately hurts themselves in order to make the other person feel guilty. Often this trait is accompanied by a victim complex. All of these character traits can be found in manipulators.
If you're thinking about self-harm, please stop and recognize that this won't solve the pain you're feeling. While it might seem like a way to cope, it leaves lasting scars, not just on your body but on your heart as well. There are healthier, safer ways to manage your emotions.
Every wound you inflict is a cry for help. You are not alone. Reaching out to someone you trust can be the first step toward finding a way out of this dark place. You deserve kindness, support, and real healing.
