That question is ambiguous. It is correct that it should sound odd, because it makes no sense. Please give the Spanish, because it depends on what you want to say.

Edit: cross-posting. I thought he could also mean 'my opinion', in 'as far as I'm concerned'

As for me = En cuanto a mí,...

About me = Acerca de mí, ...
