Is it normal to punish yourself when you feel like you've done something wrong?

I feel like when people do something bad or wrong they should be punished, myself included so whenever I mess up real bad, I punish myself.

    Depends on how you decide to punish yourself.

    I like to forgive myself. But, first I have to earn my forgiveness. Normally, its something easy that proves to myself that I am a good person and will work to better myself. How do you punish yourself? To me, it sounds like punishing yourself could lead to unhealthy and dangerous habits. Its really depends what you mean by punishment.

      Goth Babe is a cute name but you really shouldnt be cutting yourself. Anyways I dont mean to be judging you or anything, I mean everyone does things they shouldn't but really I hope you find better ways to spend your time.
