Why do I sometimes get this feeling of emptiness?

Question

Not depressed, sort of sad but more of a hollow feeling. Almost like I'm not exactly happy with something, but I don't know what? Nothing extreme or shocking has ever happened to me in life, my life is fairly boring actually.

So why do I get this feeling? I don't get it all the time but often enough that it's made me wonder why.

Answer 1

i get this too , Maybe we are bored as h**l

Answer 2

it maybe 2 things:

you need a partner or you didn't have the chance to do the things you wanted to do,

so you feel uncontented or incomplete,

try to have fun and do the things you didn't get to do before

treat yourself ^-^

I think when you feel empty, it means that there's something missing in your life. You're longing for something but you don't know what it is. I think this might be because of your boring life, as you said. Life is not as exciting anymore if the same things happen everyday. I think you should add more fun to your life. By that I don't mean do anything to the extreme. We humans are imperfect, but that's what makes it interesting. Maybe you should just kind of let go, and let things be however it is sometimes. Good Luck.  

Answer 5

easy, lack of stress. too much of it or too little is bad, we need a certain amount of stress to feel good  

Then again it might be too much stress if you're not entirely honest and something wrong is going on :) hope this isn't the case  

Answer 6

We all have this feeling and quite often too. It is good to share. Then you know that others feel the same. I don't think there is a why to it. It is just there. Probably part of human nature. I don't feel it when I am absorbed in doing something.. like today. Thanks for sharing. Hope you feel better knowing that you are not alone.

Answer 7

You need a lover in your life
