Psychological causes of self-destructive tendenciesThe source of self-destructive tendencies is most likely not just a death drive, but an extremely strong life drive. People cannot be born with a strong desire to destroy themselves. This desire must be given from the outside. People with a strong life drive have a healthy narcissism in their childhood that is closely connected with the concept of self.As the environment changes, this self-feeling will continue to conflict with the outside world, resulting in feelings of self-denial. And this person does not allow himself to abandon this instinct of life. The most extreme form is to turn to the other end: suicide. By relying on its own destruction, it denies everyone else's negation. Define your own death as the death of everything, and use ultimate destruction to destroy everyone.Therefore, to look at a person's self-destructive tendencies, you must see through the haze of pain and see the true potential behind it. A person with a strong death instinct often also has a strong desire to live, but this desire is suppressed by social norms or traumatic experiences in such intense conflicts.
