autopresentarse

to introduce oneself

Usage

Can mean simply to introduce oneself, but is also used in political contexts for someone who runs for office independently, without party backing — se autopresentó como candidato independiente.

Examples
  • Se autopresentó ante el nuevo equipo sin que nadie se lo pidiera.He introduced himself to the new team without anyone asking him to.
  • El candidato se autopresentó a las elecciones sin el respaldo de ningún partido.The candidate ran in the election without the backing of any party.
  • Prefiero que me presenten a autopresentarme.I'd rather be introduced than introduce myself.
Common mistake

In the simple "introduce yourself" sense, presentarse alone is far more natural and common — autopresentarse is really only distinctive in the independent-candidacy political sense.
