How can we identify a self destructive behavior???

Answer 1

a self destructive behavior is a attitude that is breaking down with in it's self a person that can't gtet their **** together and they want to rain on everyone's parade. I don't know if that answers your question. I tried.

Answer 2

Self-destructive behavior is any behavior that, when engaged in, brings about an aggravating of the condition by which the behavior hopes to solve. In other words, the 'solution' to the problem only makes the problem worse instead of better.

In other words, trying to cure your self-esteem by binge drinking does not actually cure your self-esteem issues. In fact, it makes it worse since waking up the next day, you don't feel closer to a solution, you feel farther away and more defeated, since it only momentarily seperated you from how bad you felt.

Progress can be difficult for people to see, but progress is something that is quite quantifiable; there will be evidence that the situation is improving (an alcoholic who goes 6 months without a drink is improving over someone who has only gone 2 months.) If both internal (our own ideas) and external (opinions of others) factors do not reflect improvement, then it is most likely that the behavior one is engaging in is self-destructive or self-defeating.

Answer 3

Anyone who is abusing any substance, or is addicted to anything is on a self-destructive path. It is not good to overdo anything--even overeating, drinking too much coffee, and gambling addiction are self-destructive.

The person who is self-destructive will probably shy away from family and close friends. They will say little about what they've been doing when asked. They may be very nervous and/or depressed. Some may be asking a lot of people for money--offering different excuses as to what it's for. Some others may have too many wounds to be simply accident prone.

Answer 4

There are so many people that have many different reasons for being self destructive. If this is pertaining to yourself only you know what is the cause. If you are worried about a friend or family member you need to start investigating all the avenues to see what is going on in their lives. It could be taking drugs, drinking excessively or just not caring about anything. People who have disorders such a manic depression and other mental disorders need to be under a psychiatrists care. If you know someone is acting self destructive try to get them to reach out for professional help if it is that extreme. Also if it is yourself go to someone close and tell them you need their support. Hoped this helped!

Answer 5

You can come to the realization that you're using self-destructive behavior when you keep losing a job, a spouse, a friend, a career, when you keep getting into jail, when you keep losing money or going into debt, or anything else we want in life but we can't seem to get.

It could be anything from us telling ourselves something (for instance, saying to ourselves that we're not good enough, not good looking, too short, too tall, wrong color, wrong parents and upbringing, etc) to having a learned behavior (whether we are aware of it or not) like bad language, cutting people down for fun, talking about people, talking about drugs and guns, just in general saying things we shouldn't or to the wrong company we're in, talking about our superiors or teachers when we will be relying on them for their help...just little things. Or it could be even simple things like wearing a hat when you're eating, or not having manners even. Like they say: sometimes we are our own worst critic or worst enemy. Perhaps you have someone who lives with you or a member of your family who could point some of those things out in your behavior for you if it's you that you feel has the destructive behavior. .
