You may be suffering from one of society's biggest myths. The truth is, nobody with even a shred of truthful introspection under their belt can definitively conceive of who you are. Their is no definition or summation of you because you are dynamic collection of perspectives and perceptions.

Never bring yourself down because you somehow fail to know yourself. Instead, approach introspection like a gleeful and inquisitive scientist, picking apart your own reasoning behind your actions. The best part of this process is the license it gives you to go out and experience the world in which you live.

In other words, quit worrying and go out and experience something. You will come to know yourself through those experiences.
