Is it normal to feel so empty?

Sometimes I'll just feel like I'm in a dream. Actually mostly all the time. The feeling only goes away when I'm not thinking about it, cuz then I'm not paying attention to it. I just want to feel alive. I used to thnk I had depression and that was the cause, but idk, cuz I don't think life is futile or any kind of depressing thoughts like that. I hate depressing-ness. The feeling is just there and it hardly ever goes. I wanna fall in love so I can really feel something and not concentrate on the emptiness...

    We all feel without purpose at times. That absense is what drives us to find it.

    Aw, I getcha. I used to feel like that all the time. You need to find a hobby or something that you enjoy and that you're passionate about. I've been walking dogs at the animal shelter, and it's made me feel way better. Try helping someone else, you'll feel very satisfied. You just need to find a way out of this rut that you're in. Best of luck.

    there's a clinical term for that.
    life changes are in order, if you ask me.

    I feel exactly the same, i fell in love once. I was betrayed and after that i have felt no emotions. I feel your pain. I wish i could find someone so i could feel. I wish good luck to you, and i hope you find someone.

    You need to find a good hobby, I used to feel the same way but then I started playing guitar and soccer. Simply amazing what art and athletics can do:)
