What is making you feel empty? What does empty feel like to you? Sometimes we for get to tell ourselves we are doing a great job or find the positive in every day. What are you missing in your life that you need or want? think of ways to fill these voided spaces. You are not empty you are full of goals which is great head out and start knocking them down.

I don't feel empty. I'm not a container for anything. I'm just a person who has Recurrent Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, HIV, and more!

Feeling empty is actually not a bad thing, if it leads to contentment. But if you feel despair and lost, then perhaps what you are feeling is not really empty, you are just not sure what it is yet

Emptiness is not a way to describe oneself. The feeling is called loneliness. Every single one of us has felt that moment when a friend is talking to someone else and you feel a sudden tug in your heart. Jealously, sadness, but mainly loneliness. The feeling of being alone is called emptiness in your heart.

Sometimes we feel empty because of things we have done or things we have not done. Just try to do as many things as you can and talk to people.

Emptiness is a normal feeling as long as it is temporary. Who is to say how long temporary is but, as long as it doesn't interfere with your normal daily activities. When the emptiness begins to compromise who you are then it may be advisable to talk to someone.

Because our spiritual needs are satisfied. We are not sincere to people and we ignore poor and needy.

You may feel empty because you are not being true to yourself around others, instead caring what they think of your every move. Or, maybe you just haven't eaten! (tip of the night -- whenever I feel really down, I ask myself before I go any further: am I hungry?)
