You can be hurt but are not suffering and you can suffer without being hurt.

Does this mean people who harm themselves are trying to move the locus of hurt from internal to external?

The main difference is that suffering is internal while being hurt is an external factor that can lead to suffering. People suffer from all kind of things: sickness, being bored etc.
