I know internal links are good for website, but if a link is pointing to its own page as an internal link strategy, what benefit would I get?

I try to avoid it because it makes me look incompetent and that is the last thing i want on my users to think.

Benefit? Not having to create a custom menu bar for each page and having to update them all when you make a change.

Is your site 100% without exception hand-rolled HTML? Learn two or three words of php-- or equivalent for non-apache servers-- and you can make menu bars that suppress linking for the present page.

Most all major sites have the site logo linking to the home page from every page, even on the home page itself. This is standard and I have never seen an issue with it.
