I agree. It would be more concerning to not ever have these feelings. A healthy dose of self-disappointment goes along with having strong expectations of yourself in various aspects of your life. You care what you are doing to others and yourself, and upon realizing that you came up short in some ways (as we all do from time to time) and having that bother you means that your drive to better others and yourself still exists.
A healthy dose, though. If you are feeling this way too often, something is skewed. You may be able to straighten out priorities on your own through things like discussing here or with friends how you are doing, or you may need to discuss it with a professional through therapy, but you don't want to let it get out of control.
Is there one small thing you could do tonight/tomorrow/this week to help in some way a relationship that is causing this nagging feeling? is there one small thing you could start this week to help in a more long-term manner?
