I don’t know who I am

I have a huge problem (I find it huge) and as far as I know I’ve had it my whole life, and that is that i don’t know who I am (or at least I think that is the problem).
When people ask me “who are you?” I can’t answer them. “Okay, what are you good at?” And I can’t answer that question either.
The real problem though is that I don’t know my own thoughts, and that annoys me. People say that you think every second of the day, well I don’t know that I’m thinking or what I’m thinking, and now as I write this I am probably thinking while writing but I can’t find the thoughts, I just write.
I just finished school this summer. While I was in school I never really talked to anyone, I just shut everyone out (the only thing that I know I’m good at btw), I did that by closing my ears so that I didn’t hear them, but it wasn’t on purpose I did it automaticly. It’s not that I did it all the time, I have lots of friends and I’m outgoing (which I didn’t know my self, I’ve just heard people say it to me), but it annoys me that I do it.

Is there anyone who is familiar with this, or know something, I feel so stupid and empty inside.
It’s like I’m a box, I have a body but there is nothing inside.
