It's not normal to wish for bad things towards yourself yet I see a lot of these topics. I cannot comprehend why anyone would wish anything less than the best for themselves. It makes absolutely no sense. Why are people so masochistic?
I think many people are suffering naturally from depression, perhaps due to a chemical imbalance in their brain. But some of these people who have depression are living in first world countries where the standard of living is high. There is a bit of guilt and shame attached to being depressed when you are well off in society. I actually think some of these people wish bad things upon themselves to validate depression and garner sympathy.
Misery breeds misery.
Nice way to put it.
Most of the time I don't want anyone's sympathy though, I just want to be alone.
Still doesn't make sense. I've been depressed and wanted to better myself. I don't want to dwell in my own shit.
well i don't think they wish bad things to happen to them its just that they expect it because everything else bad happens to them. OR its that they think they are a bad person and deserve the pain and know they will not find happiness and/or acceptance. also depression
I dunno. I wish myself to win the lottery every day, but so far I haven't won anything. XD
There is hoping...
I was wondering the same thing some times ago and to be frank I don't have an answer yet.
some grow up with "bad things" done upon them. to live without these things can feel completely abnormal, wrong, and scary. the fear of something bad happening can be worse than what happens. punishing one's self can seem a way of protection.
