Going to say it how it is without any psychobabble.
I don't know who/what I am i don't feel like i have what other people i know seem to have as a stable sense of identity
keep changing identity not realizing until see facebook posts or texts when I have had the complete personality 'transplant'. When I have to sum up my personality e.g. what makes me 'me' I never know how to write it accurately at all instead I put all sorts of random things a mashup of other people & other personalities in my head aspects of characters i've made up whilst writing (I write) or parts of my other personalities sometimes I change gender or become genderless
I'm confused & unsure who the hell i am

I feel like that somewhat frequently as well, I mean there are some things that have remained rather stable but nothing that's really easy to pinpoint exactly. I always get stuck on about me sections of profile pages or indroduction threads because I don't really know what to say. Usually I just say that I don't know what to say, what I am doing in life(though right now not so sure I should put that as it might bring unwanted negativity) or I might mention a couple things I am interested in.

Alot of people feel lost and have alot of sides to who they are as a person. It is also not uncommon for someone to have a masculine and femine side to them either.

Some people are "very creative" and draw, paint, write, love music and with each of these has a different part to how they express themselves in each area". If someone likes to write, they often imagine themselves as different charectors and can actually write a novel expressing different parts of themselves or themselves being someone else "in charector".

If you think about it, the reason "fashion" is always changing is because people actually like the change and like to be a bit different. People also look to imitate others, we as humans like to explore. This is expecially true with teens and 20's because those years we don't really truely have our identity yet. Research is finding out our brains grow and mature right through our 20's and we don't begin to establish alot of things until around 29 in into our thirties.

You may just be very normal after all.

I feel the same. I too am a writer and I find it easy to take on the traits of characters I imagine. Sometimes I feel like an empty vessel easily filled by any person or trait that catches my attention.
I am like a chameleon.
Do you have any traits that have been consistent?
