how good are you at writing. I was trying to write a narrative of my life.
Then I notice I was using to many I's.

If you’re writing memoir then it makes sense to use “I” often. Can you give an example of a block of writing where you feel you’re using the first person perspective too much?

@IsawDDevil yeah, sometimes you just have to accept that you must use the same word fairly often in your writing especially when it’s a first person narrative. We use “I” a lot when describing an action, but this can be reworded most of the time. Here’s an example:
I went to the river. I caught a fish. I cooked the fish. I ate the fish that night.
Turn it into:
That evening, my dinner was the freshly caught fish from my trip to the river.
Not my most creative example, but I think you get the idea.
