Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
So, to start — tell me about yourself.
A: Tell me about yourself.
B: Sure — I'm a designer with five years in mobile apps.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: Tell me about you.
Say: Tell me about yourself.
Use the reflexive 'yourself'; 'tell me about you' sounds unnatural here.
