Is there any reason we're self destructive? Does it even

Such is the human condition my friend.
It's also something to do with how your mind is wired, which depends on your enviroment and what develops as a result from your actions and reactions to situations. Changing the way you think about things is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Just do something to take your mind off it and focus on improving. Harder than it sounds obviously, but nothing in life worth doing is easy.

You are an ape.
The best state of being an ape can imagine is to do nothing, eat a lot, fuck even more, and fling poop and rocks at anything that wants it to stop doing the aforementioned.
This is not what we would call civilized conduct, but your brain is wired around approaching this perfection. Now in the bad old days this meant hunting so you had shit to eat, looking good so the qt 3.14 apettes wanted to fuck you, and being good at flinging rocks and fighting so you didn't get bullied or eaten.

Nowadays you can achieve that state without doing anything, which again is not the best way to go about life, but that's what your brain and body want. Gym and all that jazz is replacement caveman activity for a caveman that needs it (because he did for millions of years and that's how his body works), but doesn't want it.
