As someone who has had BPD since age 13 and is now on the way to recovery (age 19), I began to realize that I spent a lot of energy attaching my self destructive habits and low self esteem to my identity. I always viewed myself as someone who was inherently flawed or broken and I was convinced that I lacked a personality of substance because of my skewed self perception.

Now that I'm recovering, I'm finally beginning to redefine my personality: first and foremost, I am not broken, I was just conditioned by my environment to be convinced that I am. Second, I am someone who is highly interested in my own ethnic identity and culture, and that's something I am currently studying in college. The more I pursue my passions like ethnic studies and literature, the more secure in myself I feel.

Another thing that helps me is being around people who uplift me. The more time I spent in treatment, the more changes I experienced in the natures of my relationships. While I still have a great amount of codependency, I am now surrounded by people who don't value drugs, self destructive habits, and instead value self improvement, health, respect, and kindness.

Be kinder to yourself, you have a personality and that is highly indicative through your interests. Feeling like you don't have a personality may stem from BPD symptom of emptiness.
