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.

Why doesn't taking care of myself come naturally to me? I think I might be schizophrenic, but I'm afraid if I bring my concerns to a doctor, they'll tell me there's nothing wrong even if there is, because I already think I have it. What do I do?How do I let go of my past?Why do I want bad things to happen to me?Why can't I move on from my old life(before I moved back to my home country)?I'm stuck in the past. All I can do is think about all my mistakes and what I missed out on. How do I let go?How can I start a writing career?I cut an old friend off years ago and regretted it for a long time. I don’t have closure and I can’t stop thinking about the situation. How do I resolve this? Why can't I just snap out of it?How do I stay focused on my activities and online school??
