I'd be much happier following my guidance, but I keep demonstrating to myself that, contrary to what I apparently believe, I usually don't know what I'm doing...

It seems to me this is related to the subject ownership in the surrounding environment. A sense of control is important to motivation.

I ask myself things all the time.

like "why in the hell do I have to do this?" and
"why in the hell didn't XXX do this, so I wouldn't have to??"

and "what in the hell purpose does this serve?"

and things like that.

Does that count?

Not too sure, the suggestion from your wording seems to 'blame' another party and not yourself ...

Absolutely! The finest minds are always involved in the pursuit of pointlessness.
