Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Self-defeating personality disorder (also known as masochistic personality disorder) was a proposed personality disorder. As a descriptor for "Other personality disorder" it was included in the DSM-III in 1980.[2]: 330 [lower-alpha 1]. It was discussed in an appendix of the revised DSM-III-R in 1987,[1]: 371 but was never formally admitted into the manual. The distinction was not seen as clinically valuable because of its significant overlap with other personality disorders (borderline, avoidant and dependent).[3] Both the DSM-III and DSM-III-R separated the condition from sexual masochism.[2]: 274 [1]: 287
