Why do I hurt others?

Question - (21 March 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 21 March 2010)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I want to make this short and honest as possible.I am a very nice person,but sometimes for some strange reason I do things that hurt others.For example I would de-friend people on Facebook,and send them a message telling them what I did.Other times I would send an e-mail and tell some people that I never want to have anything to do with them.Usually when a girl asks me for a hug or is interested in me,I usually tell them to get lost.

Does anyone know what is wrong with me and why I am like this?

Laura1318 agony auntIt could be Narcissistic personality disorder. I am not a doctor. Maybe you should make an appointment with your doctor/therapist for a psychological evaluation.

Not My Name agony auntI agree that you need therapy to get to the root of why you are intentionally and deliberately not nice to people, despite thinking you are actually a nice person.

I suspect someone must have hurt you very badly and it is some twisted defensive mechanism that makes you blow people off - like you want to hurt people before they can have a chance to hurt you.

I hope you get it sorted, but it will take a lot of time and introspection I think before you even understand why you are doing it, let alone be able to work on stopping it.

Do YOU know why you are like this? What kind of family life did you have growing up? These people that you de-friend on Facebook--are they really friends or just associates? How were you treated as a child and teen? Do anyone in your family have that same trait? There could be a number of reasons why you act in this manner. Have you ever tried counseling of some sort? I like the fact you realize you have an issue and asking questions and seeking help--which is a step in the right direction. I say go seek help from a counseler or therapist.

I think that's a better question for your therapist that you should have. My guess is if you intentionally want to "hurt" other people by defriending them on facebook (which I guess is hurtful to some sensitive groups) or tell girls to get lost; it sounds like you may just have a fear of rejection yourself or some sort of inferiority complex, so you hurt or reject others before they can hurt/reject you. I'm not a psychologist, but it kind of sounds like something like that.
