Is it "normal" to cringe at your previous performances?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct category. Generally, even if something I sung sounds decent to me at that moment, I get frustrated at it a day or so later. Do you get this feeling too? Like, I can hear sooo many mistakes or missed opportunities lol.

In this example, I missed some of the melodic spice, it feels like I'm yelling in some places, mild throat tension, I'm sometimes out of breath, terrible distortion (this was recorded a week ago) and no build up before it, and so on...

Can you hear stuff other than these? Evaluation is very welcome but I'm a little sensitive so maybe dial down the harshness? Haha!

On the contrary, I feel like I'm developing my ear sensitivity and that's a good thing right??
