Why did I have to act against myself ?!
YOU and I must have said this sentence to ourselves more than once in our lives.

The constant pursuit of success and happiness is a normal feeling for everyone. Also, striving for perfection in life, relationships, or even appearance are crucial desires for us.
So, it would be strange if you destroyed an opportunity for happiness or success with premeditation, awareness, and planning at times through some behaviors and emotions which prevent you from taking advantage of any chance to improve your life or satisfaction with yourself.
Then put yourself in a cycle of actions, behaviors, and feelings that result in problems and difficulties that impede your life, and all the consequences of it become against your desires and goals.
Some resort to considering it bad luck or a moody desire due to the bad pressures of life, but in fact, it is a powerful trap called self-sabotage.
Self-sabotage definition is every action, behavior, or feeling against your positive goals in your life or any sense that makes you act against your interest or against what you want.
Summarized by a sentence,
Why do I do this to myself?
Why am I an enemy of myself?!
