Maybe you feel unfulfilled, try doing something that can make a difference or that you love doing, fighting global warming, baking, book reviews on tumblr, baking what ever you enjoy, even loving a band or show anything you can be passionate for.

Feeling empty is a feeling many people share. I feel empty when I feel alone and bored, so I try to focus on doing things that make me happy, like playing music, writing poetry, painting and hanging out with friends. The best way to avoid feeling empty is to occupy your time with things you enjoy doing. Watching movies and reading books is very nice because it drags you to a different reality! If feeling empty and depressed is occurring too often, check with a therapist, a counselor or a psychiatrist! It is important to get yourself help.

Its not always an easy answer to give someone on why they "feel" a certain way. If you are having feelings of emptiness or other stressful or emotional feelings such as (lonliness,distress, depression) or anything that you don't fully understand, you may want to try seeking professional help such as therapy or counseling to help you sort out your feelings. If you are underage, you may want to first talk with your parents or a trusted adult to help you further.

I think the real question is what can you do to stop feeling empty. First and foremost get professional help. But perhaps that isn't necessary for you . Maybe all you need to do is help others, mediate, go for a walk, have a good talk with a friend or trusted one, practice something, do your homework for once ;), try something new, exercise, listen to music or just go to sleep finally. It's been way too long since you have had a good night sleep hasn't it?

That can be a really hard question to answer. Have you been grieving a loss? Are you lonely? It can happen for a large variety of reasons.

You feel empty most probably because you haven't found the thing that flames your entire being-your passion. You should actively seek for your passion if you do not think you have one yet. If you don't think you have one, at all, that's okay too. Do not feel bad for yourself. Try to speak to your heart and feel what it directs you to do.

You might feel empty because you feel like you lack something in your life, or you feel like you have lost something.
