It's absolutely ok to feel frustrated. What I'm describing is what you do with that feeling, how you react to it. One option is ruminating on it and lashing out at others, as per this post. Another option is recognizing the emotion, accepting it for what it is, and then moving forward.
I should emphasize that this is a practice, and no one ever will be on their A game 100% of the time. There are always going to be times when someone acts instinctually on emotion and maybe does something destructive. After the fact, it's again about recognizing what happened, accepting it, forgiving yourself, and moving forward.
