Don't claim it's from someone else
These are original lines. You can post them as your own words without an attribution.

Questions

What are myself quotes?

First-person lines about who you are, how you've grown and what you want to be. They suit selfie and solo posts.

Is it fine to use these for a birthday post?

Yes. The growth and change section suits a birthday, since it looks at who you've become.

Will people think the quote is about someone else?

If you want it clear, tie it to a photo of you or add a short line explaining what it means to you.

Are these myself quotes for Instagram or for a bio?

Both. A short line works as a caption under a solo photo, and the shortest ones fit the 150 characters of a bio.
