Who even needs a biography? In fact, writing one seems awfully pretentious. After all, writing one means assuming somebody will read it, which is assuming somebody is so interested in you as to read paragraphs about your interests, history and ideals. That's all rather pretentious.
Moreover, if you think about it, your biography can contain information about your past, present and your future. However, your past is irrelevant, as others knowing it does not influence how you act now, and is only used to modify the image they have of you. To write about the present is unnecessary, as people can already deduce that from your actions. Future is both unknown and not quite important, because it's influenced by your present anyhow. Biographies are quite purposeless, as you might deduce.
Not to mention, when people talk about themselves, it's almost never honest. People either overestimate or underestimate themselves, which of the two depends on the person. Self-biographies are not quite trustworthy.
To conclude, people with personal biographies are pretentious narcissists.
"Don't you understand basic concepts like politeness? The first thing I did was give a self introduction. To ask why you're going to introduce yourself, that's because it's the most important thing to start as a relationship. No matter what kind of relationship, isn't it necessary to start with an acquaintanceship where we both know each other? So, just because I'm someone who cares about such things, I often think that no matter to whom, I will be as friendly as possible. I'm not saying that there isn't a chance that the other party is shy. Even if you think you want to become well-connected, when you start by introducing yourself, something in you always cannot help but hesitate. Out of consideration for those types of people, I try to introduce myself as much as possible and act in order to create a space where they feel comfortable. Of course, I don't expect this grace to be immediately obvious. However, I do have hopes that after some time, they will be able to detect the meaning of an introduction. Or, rather, that they will become aware of it. Or is it natural to talk to someone you meet for the first time without introducing yourself? If that's the case, then there's a slight difference between my common sense and culture. In that case, although both parties feel a sense of obligation, it becomes necessary to refuse the other side in advance so as to prevent a misunderstanding. Isn't that so different from what I said before, taking being gentle with each other for granted? In fact, saying so feels impolite. And that's a loss of etiquette, and the other party is left with a lesser value. A false assessment of each other's value imposes on others. This is a violation of the rights of others. From any rational perspective, this is an infringement of my rights."
