Your prompt history is the most honest autobiography you'll never write.

Strip away the outputs. Look only at what you ask. There you are.

The Confessional Box

The executive who prompts for "emails that sound empathetic but maintain distance." The writer whose every request includes "make it sound smarter." The developer who asks AI to "explain this like I'm competent." We tell AI what we can't tell ourselves.

Prompts show what we want to be. Every request carries the ghost of our inadequacies. "Write this but better" means "I'm not good enough." "Make this more professional" means "I don't feel professional."

Watch someone prompt over time. You see their real anxieties. The manager who always asks for "diplomatic ways to say no." The analyst who needs every output "simplified but not dumbed down." The designer requesting "original ideas based on these references."

We perform for humans but confess to machines. The prompt box becomes a confessional where we admit what we're not. Every request is a negative self-portrait.

The machine doesn't judge. That's why we tell it everything.
