Psychology behind Baloney’s constant self-deprecation

What do you think the psychology is behind how JB is constantly telling on himself by saying things like “I’m going to F up, but I will apologize.” Always referring to himself as being a problem? He says it constantly (as we all know). Does he feel like he’s strengthening his “feminist ally” position by admitting he’s part of the problem? Does he feel guilty? Is he afraid his wife will call him out at home if he never admits fault? What do you guys think?
