Without knowing past experiences that could be triggering this feeling of emptiness it's extremely hard in fact nearly impossible to guess and pin-point your reason for feeling empty

Maybe you are focussing too much on negative things, or things you want but don't have, instead of focussing on the things in your life which are great:) everybody has things to be happy about, whether it family, friends, or health. We all need to take more time to value these things :)

This is a symptom of depression. I don't know if you have other symptoms, but if you do seek mental counseling.

This my be because you have lost something you love or you may not have found it just yet, or maybe you have a chemical imbalance and need a little extra help

Anhedonia is a type of depression which causes us to stop feeling any sort of pleasure or input from the outside world, it makes us feel hollow, closed off, nothing makes you feel good and so you feel like all your actions are empty.
The good news about it is that like other symptoms of depression it is treatable.

Normally when emptiness is felt its because you have lost something personal in your life. Find the source of where the emptiness is coming from and talk about it to someone.

Probably because you don't have anything meaningful in your life. Try finding something you like and commit to it.
