Do you ever feel like you're not a nice person?

I don't treat people badly and I'm considerate but I'm also judgemental, harsh and can be negative. I have some horrible habits which seem to be getting worse with age (being overly critical of people behind their backs). I'm determined to work on it as I don't like myself very much at the moment and feel terrible that my dc have seen this side of me.

It would be nice to hear other people are flawed and not just me!

I suppose one thing you have to consider is what "being nice" really means. If you generally act in a kind, respectful way, who cares if you think something bad? Who cares if you complain to someone else later (within reason - assuming it's not done in such a way that they would find out).

Being nice is an action, sometimes it's acting in a way you don't feel like but you know it's the right thing to do. It's not about being perfect even down to your thoughts.

Exactly.

What you think or feel is largely irrelevant- it all depends on your words and actions towards other people.
