I don't have a personality.

[Peace Attack]

I have deep seated feelings of inadequicy. It's like, hey that person looks interesting, I wish I could be their friend, but I'm not good enough and I won't talk to them because I know they won't like me, and I'll just annoy them and they'll think I'm weird. It's as though I don't have a personality, I don't know how to act naturally and just have a good time. I don't know who I am.

I don't feel like a human and it's nothing new. I've felt like this for many years.
It's just getting hard to deal with these days because my peers are all out growing up, living life and they expect the same out of me but I can't so they shrug me off as a weirdo and continue on their way.

I don't think any of this makes sense. It's so hard to put it into words. What the fuck is worng with me?!

[rain_in_summer]

I feel the same most of the time.

that's out... as I lay in bed last night I was pondering whether I actually was somebody or am I just a creation of what I think everyone wants me to be....

What you've described to me about how you view yourself and feelings of inadquacy was exactly how I used to feel at the same age. Being 16 is a very difficult age, what with peer-pressure, parents, schools, drink/drugs and numerous other pressures in society today. On top of that you've got out of control hormones, so you have a lot to deal with and it's not uncommon for people your age to feel the way you do. I certainly did. Infact I think most people at 16 feel the same way. Whether they admit to it is another thing.


Once you get older you'll hormones will start to settle down, you'll grow up and start living life as an adult where you are free to make your own choices without too many people butting in and too many limits being placed on you. Gradually in time you will start to find out about who you are. When you turn 18 it's like being born again in that your whole world changes and opens up into new challenges and experiences. Life just becomes a whole new learning experience in the real world. And let me just say you never stop learning. I'm 26 and although I know a lot about life compared to when I was 16 I still feel I have a hell of a lot to learn. Even though I'm an adult I still feel like I'm a kid still.

I know exactly how you feel, I used to feel like that.. You escribed it better than I ever could.. I don't really know what you can do about it exactly.. I just kind of got tired of it and decided to just sit down and figure out who I am.. Explored my head quite extensively.. You just have to decide to change I guess..

I have a whole bunch, you're welcome to one of mine.

Weird that sounds like me. I know I have a personality, though...It's just different than any of my friends'... But it's hard to feel on a different level than your peers. I feel inadequate when I'm at concerts. Everyone seems so 'in their element'. I'm still trying to find my 'element'.

lol...almost exactly what i was gonna say

I have a very similar inferiority complex. Ive had it for years now (it does not go away with age, maybe for some, put for me its just gotten worse due to not dealing with it properly)
Ive decided to start cognitive behavioural therapy to deal with my negative thoughts and self conceptions because thats all they are, they arent exactly real and just manifest in the mind. What helps me out is reminding myself that just because I think a thought, does not mean I am it. After years of having this complex, wanting to be anyone else but my sorry self, its turned into me beleiving that I have no personality, just floating through life, not enjoying anything.

If this persists and interfers with your life in almost every aspect, I would really look into cognitive behavioural therapy or some type of constructive therapy so you can stop thinking so negativly about yourself.

I have not even begun to work through my problems and they hurt me every day, so i am extremely sympathetic for you. I hope we both can work through our issues of inferiority.
