People write diaries to remember a moment or express their feeling in a way that they couln't express to others. Its like when your sad, or angry or happy all these different thoughts run through your mind...the place that you can write them down in is in your diary. Its just like a silent friend who will always be there whenever you need it.
Autobiographies are peoples life stories, their problems, sufferings, achievements. Its just a way of telling people that if your going through the same thing your not alone.
Both of them allow you to express yourself in your own way regardless of what people feel.




PS. I would've written it in French but Im not really good so I hope you understood something
:)

From a psychological standpoint, people write in journals or diaries to sort out their thoughts and feelings. In other ways, people journal to work through difficult situations so they can reference their progress or overcome their personal hurdles.
Also, some people write to record their daily lives. Historically this has proven to be extremely worthwhile for later generations to understand the past - not just the lives of famous people, but the lifestyle of the time.

I don't believe it's out of need for most people. I think it's because that's what they were taught to do. Young girls are given diaries or journals at a very early age, maybe to practice writing? Then, I think it becomes a habit? Or just gabby people? :)
I've bought diaries for my lil nieces before. When you go browsing to buy gifts, you'll see that they sell cute lil girl diaries with locks (

Well its asking you what would make you write a diary or autobiography about your life?

for example you can start it by saying

What makes me want to write a diary or autobiography about me is ----

something like that.

to some people it is a need, but some people find it interesting and enlightening,particularly if such people are in powerful positions, or have influenced the world in some way, oylmpics,showbusiness, politics, great war generals, these people do something outstanding, and everyday people want to read about such people and their triumphs, and intricacies of their personal lives, about writing about one.s self, who knows, why people do, maybe like melo drama it is an mental illness

Some people really have something to offer the world in their writings, some just like to "think" on paper, some to "dream", some to "vent" their anger and fears, and some just to have fun!
