What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

The one question I’ve always hated being asked is the question to talk about myself. Talking about myself makes me uncomfortable. I don’t like to brag and I feel if I am talking about myself, I’m bragging.

I’m probably overthinking it, but that’s how I feel, especially in job interviews. Like, what am I supposed to say, other than my work history. Or what about on a first date when my date asks me to tell her about myself. It’s the worst. That’s usually when I ask, “what do you want to know?”

That’s it in a nutshell.
