To inflict something means to make someone suffer it - usually pain, damage, or something unpleasant, and often on purpose or as a punishment. 'The storm inflicted heavy damage on the town.' 'He inflicted his bad mood on everyone at dinner.' It's a word for causing something bad to happen to someone else, not to yourself.
