Why do I feel emotionally empty?

“Recounting the events of our life also enables us to grasp important nuances and details, which can reveal themselves to be valuable aids, hitherto concealed. For example, a reading, a service, an encounter, at first sight considered to be of little importance, over time transmit inner peace; they transmit the joy of living and suggest further good initiatives. Stopping and acknowledging this is essential… It is a task of gathering those precious and hidden pearls that the Lord has scattered in our soil.” 
Pope Francis

Why Can’t I Be Happy Like Everyone Else?
A lack of fulfilment in life might emerge as feelings of isolation, muddled purpose, or apathy. Every person has the potential to experience emotional emptiness occasionally, so the first thing you should do is to realize that you’re not alone.

Possible triggers include sudden changes in hormone levels, unemployment, loss and so many other negative situations. Additionally, emptiness is a normal human feeling, and it can accompany any period of introspection.
Though looking back might help us mend, lingering on disappointments will only delay the advent of a better life. Make positive strides in the direction of where you want your life to go. Put your mistakes from the past behind you as you look forward to a better future.
Focus on what really matters and have faith that divine intervention will lead you to success. Self-reflection is crucial to your happiness because it helps you to pinpoint where things have not gone well for you.

How Can I Begin to Feel Again?
The time has come to just accept things as they are. Everything in your life that has happened that has upset you needs to be put in the past. There is nothing more that can be done about it. So, relax your need to constantly adjust and enhance your situation.

You probably don’t know this about yourself, but you’re just right the way you are. Yes, really! In fact, everything that is “meant to be occurring” in your world is, and your presence in the here and now allows you to experience it completely and thoroughly. Today, there is nothing specific that is expected of you other than to simply be.
You see, when you accept yourself as you are, you take the pressure off yourself. You don’t feel the need to struggle and panic anymore because you will not allow that to happen. By accepting the person you are today, you can move forward. Seriously!

If you don’t take care of yourself, it can result in feelings of worry, remorse, and sorrow, giving you that “empty” hollow feeling. And it’s possible that putting other people’s needs before your own is a priority of yours. This can cause you to put your own requirements on hold for a considerable amount of time, causing you to feel depleted.
It’s also possible that you believe that when you make other people happy, you’ll also feel happier yourself. Even if this is true, it’s worth remembering that helping other people doesn’t mean you can’t help yourself.
You, too, require nurturing and assistance. When your own needs are met, you’re often in a stronger position to provide a hand to others around you. So, focus on yourself first in life. Love yourself. Follow your own dreams so that you can better equip others to follow theirs. When you begin to love yourself, you’ll never feel emotionally empty again.
