Do you feel any emptiness in your life?

Hey yall im 19 and for almost a year i had this emptiness inside of me, like i am not doing something right in life. I always wanted to trry out wrestling, and you know what? I did it. I have been going for 2 months strong, and havent been feeling empty ever since, i feel good. I know its a bit late for competitions, but who knows, if i improve enough, i just may try to compete with other wrestling clubs :)

what about you guys? do you have any emptiness? and if you did, how did you fix it :)

p.s, this is a great thread to vent your feelings, you will receive some support from me and others.

Quite a bit. 20 here, and never had a girlfriend, not much of a social life at all besides a few "okay" friends, and feel like nothing I will ever do will lead to success in the long run; I am on the road to having a college degree, but don't really feel very skilled at anything. I always feel inferior to other people...in some way I feel they are better than me, and have always been very socially awkward.the_plan_man

Yeah, wish I had more of a social life and more money. Working on the money part hopefully social life will follow.

Only when i think about it, pretty much all the time lol. Each year being stagnant while friends and family keep moving on to bigger and better things. Feeling like you cant even get a shot at almost anything good. Yeah it feels pretty empty and personally i've felt pretty down about it, but i'm not super depressed and i know i'm lucky to have a few good friends and close family that many people wish they could have. I just have to have hope that by hanging in there, things will eventually get better.Kurushio

I have a huge energy inside me which just drives me to work hard, I feel trapped every time I realize that I'm wasting my life doing nothing of significance and when I compare myself with others who are vastly successful. I believe that every person should have something unique about him to give him that feeling of importance, whether it be big muscles, good grades, or be exceptionally good at a certain sport. No one wants to live just being 'average'.TehFuneral

nothing a bottle of Jack cant solve.

Pretty much this. I still feel empty though. I feel better when I work, even so.

Not at all.  I find meaning in all sorts of areas

I know what I should do to fix it, but its not easy. I need to be pushed outside of the airplane. quadraleap

All the time, it's mostly just because of money. I've been doing some odd jobs here and there, and even started volunteering at a place to keep myself a little busy. Finding a stable job in a small farm town in the middle of nowhere Tennessee is hard.

You people depress me. Help me stop being depressed by having sex, please have sex. Sex gives meaning to anyones life. Yes?:twisted:

I don't have any voids in my life.  What I do have are fears.  Fear that I won't reach goals I've set for myself.  Fear that where I'm at in life is my max.  Fears that my health will fail before I'm old.  Perhaps I'm delusional of where and how I see myself in the future versus what is actually possible and realistic.  I don't know... but I have this feeling that I should and will at some point be more successful than I am now.  To be fair that feeling is responsible for where I'm at now but I feel like it's not enough although for many it would be.

I guess what I really feel right now is stagnation.

Yes life is empty alot. Even gaming has lost it's fun. I'm pretty depressed, lonely and self conscious around people.

Nah.

Every day since I've been on the same routine for the past 2 years and it's left me more and more apathetic.

No

Yes. Everything seems pointless to me yet I still like my life.

I think at 19 you are supposed to have a feeling of wmptiness.

If not you will encouter a bigger mid life crisis later.

Yep, 19 here got a decent job at  afactory now but I don't know what I want to do in the furture my friends are about to go university my brother whos 2 years older has a gf and finshed university, I don't know if I will ever be successful now, I have no ambition never had a GF, and have some social anxiety issues, I do go out to  a pub in town with my best friend every week, and go cinema with my mates offten. 

I have moments like that every now and then. Like I'm not getting the most out of my job. The pay isn't bad but the satisfaction isn't always there.

Yep. But its all good. Not worth bein all down about tho. 

Just go out, hang with friends and drink beer. 

I've been emotionally stuck for years.

I'm not sure how to snap out of it or if I ever will.

Set goals, and accomplish them. They can even be incredibly meaningless.

I find humans have an emotional need to accomplish goals and improve. If you are just going to work coming home from work everyday and doing the same things over and over with no change, it gets depressing.

Its why things like exercise work so well, as it offers noticeable long term improvement. But i mean you can just clean your room, paint your room, fix something thats broken really anything that offers a sense of accomplishment and that things are better now, however slightly, than they were before.

As mentioned though exercise fits the bill really well for most people, as there is virtually no limit to improvement and always something to strive for.

I am almost 20 and yes, I also feel like that. I have friends, a girlfriend, I go to college, I love doing a bunch of things and yet I find life to be dull and boring. I can't grow up to work on a company until i'm freaking 80 and sit up on my couch judging people. I just feel like I should be doing more with my life, but oh well...
