Any behaviour that typically results in something the person does not want to happen is considered self-defeating. Even if the desired goal is achieved, the goal itself causes more harm than good; this is also self-defeating behaviour. Self-destructive habits can be your worst enemy. When we are stressed, these thoughts keep repeating themselves. During difficult times, it's common to retreat to negative behaviours. Unfortunately, these thoughts and behaviours keep us from focusing on solutions and maintaining a positive attitude. This resource explains what self-defeating behaviour is and the different types of self-defeating behaviour.
