The tone matters. Said of someone else it is mildly critical, though usually affectionate rather than harsh — the kind of thing you say about a relative with a fond smile. Said of yourself it is almost always softened and half-joking: 'I'm not superstitious, but…' is such a common opening that it is nearly a fixed phrase, and it is nearly always followed by proof that the speaker is a little bit superstitious.
