I'm not able to think

You're scared because you know what you're going to find and don't like it.

It's not who you are this moment that matters but who you become, it's the moments that we change and grow that matter. Strive for these moments, be better, live better. We can all make it.

I'm still struggling because I truly do not know what I want. What is the process how do you even understand yourself. I've tried meditation and sitting alone. All I get is past conversations

As with anything in this world, it takes time and practice. It took me... I think about three years of delving into the subject before I figured out who and what I am.

I'm sure the other recommendations and comments have their own validity, but this is the process I used: Journal the important parts of your day, the things you did, why you did them, how you felt, etc. Keep it up for six months, then review the previous six months journal. Repeat process for 3 years or until satisfied. During this time, constantly be grinding on your skills and of course working out.

You'll begin to see why you did the things you did, why you felt how you felt, all that shit, once you've got some distance from the situation. As you improve, you can analyze closer in real time.

Yes, it is intimidating. There are always fear blocks in the way of improving- lifting something heavy comes with the fear of hurting yourself, gaining a reputation comes with the fear of embarrassment. In a somewhat more... abstract example, people who experiment with contacting their subconscious mind often find that their subconscious mind is MAD when they first try to have a conversation with it. Like, wordlessly screaming, furiously mad. Those who continue to pursue it, though, begin to find absolute gems of self discovery. It's not well-established science, completely anecdotal, so take from it what you will.

This is mental masturbation.

Your thoughts do not define you. Your actions do. Go out and do something.

Embrace the shit out of your fears
