My first screenplay was about a teenage girl. The male characters may have had some of my understanding of the world. But no one was me.
If you want to write about you. You should do that. Write what inspires.

Yep. I writer, writes.
I wrote to a manager yesterday that asked what I had coming up. I went through my project list in writerduet and realised I have 15 unfinished projects.
That is because I am easily distracted and none of them grabbed me enough to finish them.
I will put in my big boy pants to get some finished.

Not necessarily, although there's certainty "you" in every story you write...
The short answer is no (for a whole boatload of reasons).
