I only realised recently that I have no identity.

I have very little to talk about about me.

This isn't a problem for me personally because it's something that I have actually worked on quite hard.

However, I feel it could be a problem for other people because there is absolutely nothing about me that most people can relate to.

hahaha...it's quite funny when you consider that for the best part of our autistic lives we want to relate to people but I have narrowed myself down that much I have absolutely nothing to talk about yet I do have quite a few friends. well, in work anyway.

I wonder if anyone gets this?

I can relate to this. I don't really think of my "self" and have a hard time describing myself. I have no problem with this, but it can be hard in job interviews, on dates, or similar situations. I suppose it can make it easy for people to take advantage of you, too.

I'm more interested in learning things than having a self-conception, though I admire self-conception and self-awareness in others.

You are selling yourself short. Modesty and humility can get in the way. I do not like to talk about myself. Accepting my ignorance makes having a strong opinion difficult.

The best karma is no karma, zero identity?
