What is the best way for someone to start their autobiography?

Should it start at the beginning? Should i tell a horrible life changing story? should i start with my impressions of the world as a whole?

Start with a bang.

@Casheyane nice , but i am not sure exactly how to go about it. i am certain that i am going to say something that makes people roll their eyes.
@LILY61 You have to write it with the intent of telling your story, not with the intent of satisfying what you would like for other people to think of you.
@PhoenixPhail no, i am looking to write to make sure people finish the book.

@LILY61 Someone once said that things that make people ashamed often make great stories. It kinda makes sense, don't you think?

Writers conscious and worrying about how people would think of them...are working on a barrier.

My thinking is always the same. If you want to write something others would read, make sure it's something you would read first. If you want them excited, you gotta be excited as you read it first. Because if your story is boring to you, then something's wrong.
@Casheyane that all makes sense but i just can't decide how to start it.
