Greatest writers were very autobiographical
>Pessoa
>St Augustine
>Proust
>Melville
Except Melville they all had "boring". So why there is this opinion on /lit/ that writing about own life is bad? My suffering is only thing that interests me, so should i not write anything? I also think my experiences and thoughts may be universal in some way. Only way i am afraid is exposing too much without disguising it, what could ruin my relations with family and friends in future

Maybe, but their insights on said lives are anything but boring.
Basically you can do it if you're a literary genius. If you're not, I don't know, write about robots, orcs and relationships.

its meme. it's some criticism that if you write what you live, you are not doing literature but just being a huge faggot without a talent. it's a bit understandable at some point but totally stupid if you take this too serious.
