A DC motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. The converted energy is provided to a mechanical load.

A DC generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The converted energy is provided to the electrical load (voltage, current referring load).

A DC motor can be used as a DC generator and vice-versa.

Why cant a generator run off its own electric?

Because when converting from one type of energy to another, something is always lost in the conversion. It's like pouring water between two buckets and always spilling a little. Let's say you're putting 100W of mechanical energy into turning the generator. This maybe gives you 80W of electric energy out from the generator. If you then put those 80W into a motor, you get maybe 60W of mechanical energy out of the motor. For each conversion you lose a bit more.
