What does ''About Me'' really mean?
Does it mean I should write a brief true life story about myself?
Or write about my academic qualification(s), profession, achievements...etc?
As for me, be it the latter or the former that truly defines "About Me", I still feel uneasy to share mine fully. If you asked me why, I would respond that there are very few people whom I can entrust with my full who am I; for it has got the potential to embarrass me if misused by unsuspecting folks with misguided intentions. Regarding my academic qualification(s) and profession and achievements and the likes, there's nothing much to offer unfortunately. And yet that is something I could proudly share; for it could give me something to brag about. Despite the concerns I have addressed above, I will share a little.
