I'm very similar to you, though I was in a much worse state I think. Been trying to understand why.
In your mind you need to distance yourself from everything and everyone and just take a step back. Lose everything you hold onto subconsciously forget your social status, job, possessions, your name, your past, your future, everything you think you are. When you take everything away you need to look at what's left, all that is yours: is you, and this moment. Every nanometer of your body is a miraculous machine that's been evolving and been built up for millions of years even now, there are exact pieces of DNA from your ancient forefathers, from ancient reptiles, from fish, from tiny microorganisms. They have all contributed to create what you are. All of your ancestors have left their DNA inside you. This is the miracle of our existence.
Get out of the habit of constantly wanting something more, or avoiding something you consider bad. Let every moment be a challenge for your love of life, what's good for one is bad for another, just be grateful for the moment you were given and take it all in. You can see this love in children.
A lot of people don't truly appreciate the incomprehensible majesty that they are, and that's all around them. Our mind becomes used to things and bored of the old. We constantly label everything and conceptualize and end up forgetting about the focus of attention and what living really means
A near death experience can sometimes awaken this love for the moment. What if I told you that you had a brain tumor that was going to kill you in your sleep tonight. Forget about those feelings of anxiety and despair, just imagine that you have completely accepted your fate and you're waiting to die now. I had a really vivid dream like this and I can't describe the peace I felt afterwards.
Be patient and witness life unfold in front of you. Don't judge or label anything as good or bad, just take what you get and make the best out of YOUR moment.
*sorry this is really long, I feel kinda stupid for writing it and don't even know if it actually helped, but I'm sure it could help someone haha
Is it normal to feel absolutely empty inside even though life is good?
