is any behavior that ends up causing more harm than good, or that goes against the person's own goals or well-being. This can include actions such as procrastination, self-sabotage, substance abuse, overeating, and negative self-talk. These behaviors can be a result of underlying psychological issues, low self-esteem, or dysfunctional coping mechanisms. It is important to identify and address self-defeating behaviors in order to make positive changes and improve overall well-being.
