SDB is not just about cutting yourself up. Indulgence in extreme sports, indulgence in narcotics, indulgence in fatty and spicy food also constitute SDB, in the sense that what you crave isn't good for you.
Extreme generosity, like what Karna had, is also an example of SDB. When we are generous way beyond our means or when we love to take high amounts of stress which we know our body cannot manage we are indulging in SDB.
When we are addicted to behavioral patterns that would ultimately ruin us we can say that we have SDB.

When a very touchy person, who hates to be disrespected, acts as a simpleton and hence subconsciously encourages people to disrespect him - he is also indulging in a weird, inexplicable SDB behavior. SDB comes in various flavors.
How healthy or productive can our life be when half the time what we do is something that hurts US? It's like swimming upstream.
Even sensible people indulge in such SDB. I guess our reward seeking system or hormones in some of us is so strong that we look at immediate thrill without looking at the long term hurt that we cause ourselves.
How do we stop this? How does it feel when a near and dear person indulges in such behaviour?
