I feel like I have no personality. I don't know what I like or dislike. I kind of follow what my sister does. I don't know how to find my own identity. I have no interests and nothing seems interesting. I have no idea who I am or what I want to do with my life. I am 24 and completely lost. Everything I start I quit. I have no friends and seriously bad social anxiety. I feel like the most boring person, I feel so plain and can't seem to develop or become a person who has an identity or a personality, I can't seem to find out who I am or develop myself as a person. Anyone else feel this way?

I feel that way almost all the time. Like.. I have no identity. I hear people talk about their likes and dislikes and hobbies, and I just don't know what to say when they ask about mine because I'm not sure I even know. You're not alone in feeling that way. It can be a confusing feeling to deal with. I hope that, one day, you and I both find our own 'personality' and identity.

There are times that I feel that way. I guess it just depends on how I feel most of the time: Like a...-the only word I can think of right now is marionette. It feels like I've lost an important part of me-just tossed into the wind without reason. I know I still have likes and dislikes and hobbies, but there are times that they get blocked somehow.

I feel that way too. logically I know I do have a personality, but it seems rarely possible to share it, it stays hidden, and when I am with other people I am just preoccupied about saying the right thing (and afterwords I am sure that I didn't of course).

I feel this way to. My fiance has this great personality and can hold conversations with anyone. I envy him so much because I can't seem to say the right things. And people ask about me and I have no idea what to tell them ya know? I can't exactly say I'm x and I have major depressive disorder so the amount of interests I have is small.
I wish I knew the answer to give you but I don't. If I find out one day I will be the first to share it with you! |

Here too.
When my mother comes over to visit (which is already uncomfortable enough).... she often will try to start up a conversation with the 'what is new', 'what have you been up to' type stuff. What do you say to that??? NOTHING is new. I get up, I go to work, I come home, I go to bed. Repeat. Long awkward silence.... It has gotten to the point that I dread seeing her (and I suspect she feels the same way). i s o l a t i o n |

Maybe your personality is more introverted? Also another thing to consider is depression and anxiety have held you back from trying new things and finding out what you like??? You never know it could be something you've never even heard of! Are you getting therapy for the social anxiety?
