Self inflicted theft is most likely to occur when people don't take the basic steps to secure valuable property, almost encouraging thieves to commit acts that relieve owners of property.
There's been a rash of break-ins and thefts of expensive vehicles in Snobsville as they sit unused in COVID, doors unlocked, valuables and key fob in plain sight. Somehow I think these stupid owner share responsibility for the thefts they bring on themselves as they commit acts of self inflicted theft.

When the Mobster in Chief first engaged his old NYC buddy, he may have figured it would all lead to a self-inflicted Giuliani wound but he may have figured he was valiantly choosing his own fate.

what high-powered, wealthy douchebags entitle upon themselves while passing on massive tax hikes to the little man. Have no effect on the ability to hold high ranking position in Democratic cabinet, as long as the cuts are treated upon discovery. Also known as "goth taxes", since they apparently cut themselves.
Tim: Hey Tom, have you given yourself any self-inflicted tax cuts lately.
Tom: Yeah, but I got caught and now I'm fucked.
Tim: Ha Ha. I got caught and now I'm secretary of the Treasury. Pay up bitch.

The reluctance to report a serious work issue for fear that those reading or hearing the complaint will view the issue as petty. The complainant fears that he or she will be viewed forevermore as a sniveling weasel. The result is that the issue will remain unresolved until it takes on another unrelated dimension that is extremely damaging to the workplace. At this point, another worker will report the original complaint and will be given full credit for saving the company.
Worker 1: "I think that we have to let people in HR know what Stacey and Ed have been up to. She's getting away with murder. She's using him, he's letting her and both of them are married anyway."
Worker 2: "There's no way I'm going to bring up favoritism and their adolescent extramarital dalliances to HR."
Worker 1: "Self inflicted complaint blockage?"
Worker 2: "You got it."

How many people end their lives. Used mainly by people who have listened to too much emo. Can also be used by people who have had to endure many long hours of Mr. James Hartman's class, or sit through Ms. Rheude's band.
Goddamn! I'm so sick of this shit! I think it's time for me to kill myself. I shall utilize a Colt .45 Automatic pistol, and this should effectively create what the medical examiner would refer to as a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

There’s well enough stress out there, but people often add to that e.g. by leaving too late for an appointment and get stressed-out in traffic, or study too little too late for an exam.
I had a severe case of Self Inflicted Stress Syndrome - SISS this morning: drank too much last night, overslept, couldn’t find my keys, got on the road too late so got stuck in traffic and in the rush forgot my phone.
