I truly do not understand the use of this public self castigation; it does not strike me as healthy, if anything it’s a cry for help, and I’m uncomfortable being exposed to it.

In some cultures, it's perfectly normal, and not too long ago was generally considered healthy.

See, for example, self-deprecating British wit. Or anyone from the upper Midwest.
