I've noticed this too. It's good to criticize yourself, but you have to be careful not to do it too leniently or harshly. Though I've found it's usually best not to publish either view. If you praise yourself, you look like arrogant. If you ridicule yourself, people will be inclined to agree and view your pasta in a negative light.
