This trope is about a tactic, either bullying or combat, that consists of forcing/making someone hit themselves. Deals both physical and psychological damage. Especially when it's about bullying, expect The Bully to taunt the victim "why do you keep hitting yourself?" or, even more often "Stop hitting yourself!", hence the trope name.
In more dramatic examples, someone might have a piece of their person removed and used as a weapon against what remains of them. Especially when it Takes One to Kill One, the easiest way to do it is to take a piece of that "like" to harm the rest of it. A weapon system could be turned against its own platform. A projectile may be reflected or caught and returned back at the attacker. More fantastic examples might even include a duplicate being created to attack the original or someone being forced to fight a time displaced version of themselves. If you've got psychic powers, maybe you can make people physically lash out at themselves or endlessly fight themselves in a nightmare? To a director, just seeing the actor fumble around on the green screen could be worth it.
Related to Why Did You Make Me Hit You?, which is about shifting the blame from the perpetrator to the (particularly weak-willed) victim, which may go hand in hand with this trope. Compare Attack Reflector, Catch and Return, Deadly Dodging and Misguided Missile. Compare Primal Chest-Pound, when someone purposefully hits oneself on the chest to show off one's fierceness and toughness. Likewise compare Kicking My Own Butt, when someone voluntarily beats themselves up for some reason, and What the Fu Are You Doing?, when the reason is simple clumsiness and trying techniques/weapons too advanced for the wielder. Compare and contrast Attacking Through Yourself, when someone deliberately hurts oneself to attack someone who cannot be reached otherwise. People Puppets is a particularly effective way to play this game. Not to be confused with Self-Harm, when someone deliberately hurts (often hits) oneself because of a psychological problem. Super-Trope to Psychic-Assisted Suicide, Sub-Trope to Hoist by His Own Petard.
The confusion status inflicted by enemies in some Role Playing Games is centered around either this and/or an Invoked Trope of something on the Friendly Fire Index.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles:
The boss of Flying Battery Act 1 is a monstrous version of those animal capsules with two flailing spikeball arms to smash Sonic with. It's invulnerable to even Super Sonic's attacks, and has to be beaten by staying on top of it, then moving away when the arms get ready to attack, causing it to hit itself.
Robotnik's machine in Lava Reef Zone will launch mines that slide down the lava and will eventually collide into him and take him out. It's invulnerable to everything else, even Super Sonic's attacks.

Mega Man Zero 4: This game introduces the Zero Knuckle, a weapon that Zero can use to pick a special weapon from enemies. This can also be used on a few of the bosses' attacks to be used against the boss, i.e., Noble Mandrago's planted seeds (it only does little damage for Mandrago) or Weil's falling swords (the sword you gain only has one use, but is fairly strong).

Ghost in the Shell:
In chapter 2, Motoko gets irritated with the Minister of Internal Affairs when he starts to insinuate that he may interfere with later operations if she doesn't toe a particular line — their last mission caused a bit of a political mess. She asks to be linked to his cyberbrain directly to give her reply, and makes him punch himself in the face.
In chapter 3, Batou remotely mind-links with Motoko while she's in the middle of a cybersex session with several female Friends with Benefits and starts complaining about the nerve signals he's getting from organs he doesn't have. Cue Motoko making him punch himself in the face so hard one of his Electronic Eyes cracks.

The Simpsons: This is a regular tactic of bully Nelson Muntz, complete with the line "Stop hitting yourself!"
When the class is given video cameras and assigned to make documentaries, Nelson's is called "Stop Hitting Yourself" and consists of Nelson filming Milhouse while using Milhouse's own fist to hit him in the head.
Nelson attends a party given by a wealthy family. He is seen doing the same thing to a butler while saying, "Stop buttling yourself!" The butler politely responds "Would that I could, sir."
In a "Treehouse of Horror XII" segment parodying Harry Potter Nelson points Milhouse's own wand at Milhouse's head to change it into a banana, an ostrich, and Mr. T. The incantation is "Stop Zapping Yourself!".
In "Brawl in the Family", Nelson noogies a rare spotted owl while shouting "Stop endangering yourself!".

In the Kung Fu Panda franchise, Master Viper sometimes coils around her opponents' neck and wrist and pulls their hand at their face, forcing them to hit themselves. She uses this tactic against Tai Lung in the first movie, a wolf soldier in the second movie and a Killer Gorilla bandit in the short Secrets of the Furious Five.

Towards the end of the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends episode "Land of the Flea", the Imaginary fleas that live on Eduardo jump onto Mr. Herriman and take control of his body, which includes making him hit himself. When they tell Frankie and the other imaginary friends that if they don't stop trying to kill them with powders, collars, and baths, they will destroy Mr. Herriman, or at least make him keep hitting himself.

Total Drama:
For the first part of the challenge in "Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen", Harold gets strapped in a radio-controlled robot suit to which Duncan has the controller. They're supposed to fight as a team, but Duncan takes the opportunity to make Harold kick himself in the face. With mirth in his voice, he tells him to stop kicking himself.
The recently mutated Dakota takes care of a mutant alligator for the Mutant Maggots in "The Treasure Island of Doctor McLean". Among others, she grabs its tentacles and punches it with them, gleefully asking why it's hitting itself.

In Army of Darkness, the Evil infests Ash again and begins splitting off as an evil clone, clobbering Ash with his own hand until he fully detaches. He's still technically hitting himself even after that, until Ash gets fed up with that bullshit and gives Evil Ash a double load of buckshot to the face.

Played for laughs in Ghost in the Shell: there's a recurring gag where Motoko Kusanagi hacks another character's cybernetics to make them punch themself in the face.
Ghost in the Shell:
In chapter 2, Motoko gets irritated with the Minister of Internal Affairs when he starts to insinuate that he may interfere with later operations if she doesn't toe a particular line — their last mission caused a bit of a political mess. She asks to be linked to his cyberbrain directly to give her reply, and makes him punch himself in the face.
In chapter 3, Batou remotely mind-links with Motoko while she's in the middle of a cybersex session with several female Friends with Benefits and starts complaining about the nerve signals he's getting from organs he doesn't have. Cue Motoko making him punch himself in the face so hard one of his Electronic Eyes cracks.
At the end of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episode "Missing Hearts", Motoko challenges Batou after he boasts about the physical superiority of male prosthetic bodies. He puts up his fists, ready to strike, but she simply smiles back at him. In that brief instant, Motoko hacks Batou's body and makes him punch himself out, then tells him she looks forward to reading his report on the way that he properly used all the muscles in his head.

Dr. Strange curses an annoying pizza vendor in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness played by Bruce Campbell to repeatedly punch himself in the face and claims it should wear off in three weeks. A case of Actor Allusion, as Campbell's character in Evil Dead 2 starts punching himself after his hand gets possessed, both movies directed by Sam Raimi.

Dungeons & Dragons:
As a general rule, no form of mind control, whether magic or psionic, can cause a creature to hurt itself; suicidal orders are just plain ignored. There are exceptions, however; notably, the death urge telepathic power force the victim to try killing itself with a weapon, provoking the deadliest opponent close by, or throw itself at a hazard (but only for a very short time).
From the Tome of Battle – Book of Nine Swords, the high-level Setting Sun maneuver "Fool's Strike" allows redirecting one attack from an opponent against itself.

Secret Squirrel (1993) uses this tactic against a destructive panda named WonTon. Knowing he cannot physically fight WonTon as he's an endangered species, Secret maneuvers himself in positions that make WonTon hit himself. He does so to the point he knocks himself unconscious, his blow to the ground cushioned by a pillow Secret lays for him.

John Wick gives a darkly comic example when he's wrestling with a knife-wielding opponent and manipulates the hapless mook into holding the point toward his own chest. Wick then takes advantage of the mook's death-grip on the knife by giving the pommel a few good slams with his free hand.

In "Virtu-Ron", the characters enter a MMORPG based in medieval times where someone has started kidnapping various players. Wade takes on the role of a wizard and casts a spell to make the villain hit himself with his sword (as well as taunt him by saying "Quit hitting yourself with your sword").
Also done in "Ill-Suited" when Doctor Dementor steals and wears Kim's new battlesuit, but then Rufus gets his paws on the suit's remote control...

Team Fortress 2:
An inexperienced Engineer can be injured and killed by his own sentry if an enemy tricks him into walking within its fire.
Soldier and Demoman can also have their splash damage used against them, especially by using Bonk, a Dead Ringer, or an Uber to avoid taking damage yourself.
Pyros can airblast certain projectiles—such as rockets, grenades, and flares—back at their attacker. This also makes them deal mini-crits this way.
A more literal example is the Boston Basher for the Scout. It's a melee weapon that inflicts bleeding damage upon hit, but missing a swing will damage the attacker. This can also be intentionally used to jump higher than normal thanks to the game's physics engine.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "To Change a Changeling", Pharynx used to do this to his brother Thorax when they were grubs, smacking him in the face with the latter's own hoof and asking him why he was hitting himself. This later turns out to be the trick to defeating the Maulwurf — since the only thing that can hurt it through its thick hide are its own attacks, Thorax and Pharynx goad it into slapping and biting itself by hovering next to it or standing on it and dodging before it can hit them. Pharynx explicitly brings up his childhood habit of doing this when he comes up with the plan.
