Why do I want bad things to happen to me?

Because you may be feeling like you're worthless and a nobody in the world but you are really so much more than nothing. A little bug is nothing you're a beautiful person with a lot of potential for good things to happen to you in the future and I hope they do but as for wanting bad things to happen I think you don't love yourself and you need to learn how to love yourself in order to good things to happen to you and be satisfied with the future and what will come in it and I hope you learn to love yourself.

It's difficult to answer to an extent but from my experience, people who want bad things to happen to them often feel this way because they've been made to feel like that. Perhaps you've been told bad things and you now feel like you don't deserve positive things in life, you only deserve the negative. It hard to comment without further information but it could be due to low self-esteem and perhaps a negative upbringing or even negative surroundings. If you're afraid something bad will happen to you or you will deliberately cause something bad happening to you, I would highly recommend seeing a health professional such as a GP before anything does physically happen. I hope this helps.

A lot of times I want bad things to happen is because a lot of times I have no self care and just dont care at all. I'm careless sometimes, And a lot of times I dont care. About anything, It always seems like I'm being pushed under this big plate of carelessness and once I'm under there its almost Impossible to get out, I have slowly leaned (Mostly on the Awesome Website) That there are people who care about you, And want you to stay safe. I am safe and healthy, I do care about myself and I'm happy to help others!

Animals create environments that are familiar to them. Humans are not the exception. Whether we like it or not, we as humans adapt to our environment and everything inside--the people, the events, our interactions, how we feel in our environment, etc. So when we adapt to a bad place and are stuck for a long time, we naturally create an environment familiar and similar to before. We are comfortable there. We are comfortable being depressed, self-deprecating, self-blaming. Over time we get to a point where we are waiting for bad things to happen so that we can return to our comfort zone of thinking “of course bad things happen to me”.

A desire for bad things happening to you shows you are sincerely suffering and it can be seen as a form of self-punishment for something bad you may have done to something or someone, such thoughts can be very destructive as an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind. If you're feeling as if you want bad things to happen to you, it'd be great to start with asking yourself what has driven you to have these thoughts? Consider every aspect, such as what the result would be. Rather than having thoughts of wanting something bad to happen to you, it'd be more helpful confronting the situation and forgiving yourself. You suffering does not balance any wrongs that you have done in life, we're all human and sometimes we seem to forget that we are allowed to make mistakes because we are not perfect.

Because I deserve it after what I did to others. I am ashamed of myself for what I did and no one else deserves something as bad as me. I don’t know how I did it, or why I did but I do know that I deserve something bad for it. To the person who I did it to, might haven’t experienced it like that but I do. People can tell me it wasn’t my fault as many times as they want too, and I’ll say I know, but deep down I do blame myself for it. And to be honest, I don’t know how to stop blaming myself.

I used to feel this way. For me, it was because bad things had happened to me before, and the consequences of these (eg, sadness) felt comfortable and normal. Also, because those bad things caused me to have depression, I kept feeling sad, even when those bad things had gone away. I felt guilty for feeling like this for no reason, so kind of wanted something to expain these feelings. Also, it is normal for people to enjoy attention because it makes us feel cared for, and bad things can often lead to attention, and people showing their love and affection for us, which feels good.

Maybe you feel that you deserve it? Best to find out what is the underlining issue that makes you feel like you deserve bad things to happen to you. And to face it one step at a time. Always know that no one deserves bad things happening to them, but no one can avoid them either. Take the bad things as a lesson and learn from them, thats the best way to treat a bad thing positively.

I think deep down inside most of us feel that we are not worthy. It is hard to explain why we feel that way. There is something to do with the society we live in and the family and culture that we are from. But all in all, I find it normal to have this kind of thinking. However, if you find out that you are doing things to yourself to gain attention, like purposely hurting yourself to the point of needing medical attention, then you will have crossed a line. That is when you need to seek professional help.

i used to question that alot when i was younger, i wanted bad things to happen to me so i can feel important, i feel like thats pretty twisted to want to be hurt by someone or have something or someone do something horrible to to you, whether physical, verbal or emotional. im thinking it must stem from a fear of self worth or a cry for attention (not in a bad way) but wanting that affection from someone or others you most crave. like, if that happened to me, people would start to care, start to check in on me, ask me how im doing. but then its something in your head you have to fight, deep down you dont want to be hurt, deep down its wrong to want bad things to happen to you. you should want good things to happen to. thats why i think that, its something to work towards everyday. i want this (good thing) to happen and make it happen. but i would really focus on finding someone you can confide in to express these feelings, dont bottle them up and hide and do something dangerous and secretive and put yourself at risk. speak to someone.
