is it possible to do the cycle of violence (or abuse) yourself?

its happened several times. i had an abusive past which i am still working out how the world truly works.
anyway i had this friend on the internet, and he was going through a hard time. i always comforted him and encouraged him to have respect for himself. i really liked him a lot. but then i was going through a hard time, i guess i was too clingy onto him, or replied on him too much emotionally but he then just stopped talking to me. i know i was maybe too clingy, but i now know that he must not have valued me much as a friend at all.
in the mean while, i felt i was becoming a psychopath, i criticised everything i did and looked for signs of me being a psychopath (because i had lost him). eventually i couldn't take it anymore and burst out crying. my friend then told me i wasn't a psychopath and he should have said something instead of giving up an entire friendship.

so is it possible to be doing the cycle of violence with yourself? or victimising yourself?
