Which One?

Got a presentation coming up so I have to write a short bio about myself. Should I use the '1st' person when describing myself (I, I'm, my, etc) or the '3rd' (He, 'My Name', etc)

Depends. If you're publishing something it has to be third person. If you're saying it out loud only once, first person.

Why would you write a book about yourself in third person? That would just make me think someone else wrote it.

wat no. "if you're publishing something" means if you're writing a ook or an article about any subject, you usually have a section that reads "about the author" that's maybe a paragraph long and always written in 3rd person

Yea, it's similar to something like this. It's a Bio description that will go onto any promo material that will be sent out. Thanks.

Second person. It'll definitely be a lot more relatable for the reader that way.

Also, on a different topic, Firefox doesn't recognize "relatable" as a real word.
