I self-punish all the time, especially when it comes to how I treat people, or if I felt I handled a situation incorrectly.
Your happiness matters, however. Self preservation is seen as rude do to social formalities instilled in us from a young age. People think caring for yourself makes you selfish, when in reality some of us don't have others caring for us as we'd like, so we play the role.
