It can rub a reader the wrong way because it is written in a sarcastic tone to self-reflect on things the author did wrong or didn't do.

Every piece of "advice" and patronizing questioning, such as "You did that, right?

It is not meant to be a patronizing statement to the the reader, but it is rather self-depreciation.
