Is there a myth about someone who constantly creates their own demise?

Since this is certainly a common theme, I’m wondering if there is a myth about someone who ignorantly walks themselves repeatedly into ill-fate or their own misery. It would be like Sisyphus, but instead of being cursed to move the boulder, he did it on his own will and just repeatedly crushes himself with the boulder.

It can be really from any origin, I’m just convinced there has to be some myth that fits this theme, considering how much it plays out in modern life, and how accurate many myths were at describing things that… well, often play out in life.

I know this question is super broad but something tells me there has to be something pretty accurate out there. Thank you!
