Only because it is considered as too much pretentious. At least that �s how I was explained when I was a student. You use "according to" for other people or a magazine for example. When it is for you it �s better saying "in my opinion", "in my view", "as far as I �m concerned". Hope the natives will confirm I understood my lesson well. |

Correct expression to express opinion are:
To my mind
In my opinion
In my view
According to recent research/ scientists/ doctors
according to me is wrong because it �s only used to express other people �s opinions not your own.
