Preaching "if you're like me's"

I noticed in one of my previous posts i dropped an "if you're like me..."

I noticed that when i preach i would sometimes do the same thing. If I wanted to bring up a point of objection, or a life application point against a negative trait, a simple "if you're like me..." would be slipped in. But i was wondering, over the long run, is it a good thing?

Wouldn't you eventually be shown up as a) a fraud who commonly just slips in the sentence as a segway (i'm ok with that not being the way you spell it) b) a guy who is riddled with doubts or c) someone who struggles like those who are listening.

I'd like to think i use it mostly in the third case.
