#Profile

A profile bio is a carnival of artifice and embellishment designed to sell yourself to strangers. It is a collection of sentences that pretend to say something meaningful while uttering nothing of substance. It promises an ideal persona in a single line and cleverly conceals your insecurities under a veneer of confidence. An essential prop for social media and interviews, its credibility decreases in inverse proportion to its exaggeration. Often it becomes a cunning tool to supplement self-esteem with the praise of others.
