I suggest you to make a list of:
1. What you love
2. What you are good at
3. What interests you
And you will get more of a sense of who you are. I can tell you that as long as you are true to yourself and your personality (not trying to be something that you aren't) you will get there. If you're a teenager its normal.Its either a phase or you're going through self identity.

In my experience, the best way to find your identity is to try a ton of activities and hobbies that you may be interested in. Journaling or other self-reflecting can be really helpful, too.
Like someone else mentioned, you won't know what you are good at or what you like until you venture out and try them. Explore everything! Finding something that sticks will help form your personality and will improve both your perception of yourself as well as others' perceptions of you.
It’s ok to not know who you are. Sometimes it can take time to really truly understand yourself and learn who you really are. All you can do is take your time and grow as a person do things that make you happy wether that’s drawing, walking or anything really everything you do on a daily basis becomes a part of you and slowly you will figure it out. I think at some point in are lives we all get a little bit lost and don’t know exactly who we are or where we’re going but we all find ourselves in the end and that’s the beautiful thing thing about life. The longer you wait the more you appreciate the outcome just like the longer you search for your true self the more you will love who you really are.
