Self flagellation

Does the definition of the word "Flagellation" make "Self" redundant?

Iam "I know I tend to engage in self flagellation but it isn't as bad for me as you think it is. I have that scar tissue build up so it doesn't really hurt. Don't beat yourself up so much."

Hym "Holy shit!"

Iam "What?"

Hym "If we had more empathy we would die! Is our lack of empathy keeping us alive!?"

Iam "I don't know..."

Hym "I probably would have killed us. What is the link between trait agreeableness and suicidality? I would imagine being high in neuroticism would have an affect on it. I was just positing this the other day. That being low in trait agreeableness ameliorates the the negative effects of being high in trait neuroticism."

Iam "You would have killed me!?"

Hym "If I could kill you without killing me I would do it. Shut up. I'm talking about me here."
