Answer 1

It does damage the attacker, but if you do it right then you’re striking a weak point of their body with the strongest part of your head. You don’t, as is often seen in fiction, smack foreheads… that’s just self-harm. A headbutt is aimed at something like the orbital bones, nose or temple, where you can easy break something without taking too much of a hit yourself.

It will still hurt you though.
