i have no identity.

Bear lives in his grandmother’s house. Nothing in that house is his. A lot of times, directors and set designers will litter the background with details that point to the true nature of the character. The fact that none of those things are his means we have very little insight on his personality and who he was before the events of the movie.

Secondly, when wish!Nicky tells him “I haven’t really asked you what your dreams are” he has a joke answer about being a food critic that she runs with because truly neither her nor us are ever given a real answer as to what he’s interested in, what he wants to be. Bear is almost a blank slate with no real interests apart from Nicky (who’s obsessed now??)
