Imposter syndrome

F24. I don’t know who I am. If a stranger asked me “what type of person are you?” “Tell me about yourself?” I wouldn’t be able to say more than the obvious: my favorite color , favorite food , music etc the type questions you ask when it’s your first time meeting someone but beyond that? I don’t know. I have no self concept. I feel like I’m too scared to even figure out what type of person I am because I may become what I dislike or who I become might not even be the real me but me feeding off who other people are. when I try to understand myself and speak to myself “this is who you’re” it’s almost like I’m lying to myself I don’t believe anything I say about myself. Could it be insecurities? Could it be people pleasing for so long that I completely lost who I was before that I no longer know myself anymore? it’s so hard to figure who I am without feeling like I’m trying too hard or that I’m just trying to be anything just to say I’m something or someone.
