Emptiness Community

Getting used to being alone.

Sometimes, you get so used to people leaving that you stop expecting anyone to stay. You learn to enjoy your own silence, hide your emptiness, and pretend you're okay. 🖤

The emptiness that comes with finishing up a nice show you have been watching for a while should be talked about 😩😒👐🏻

How do I deal with the emptiness after coming back from a trip? 🥲

Emptiness

After waiting for so long, I realized that I had actually been staring into nothingness all along. 😊

“Like the moon, humans must go through phases of emptiness to feel full again. Being whole is not a requirement to shine.” — Harlow James💛🌕🌝

Yeah 😌

A place as beautiful as this and I came to celebrate emptiness (edited)

Have you found ways that have made any of these things easier? (or add your own if you have something helpful to share)

The way I deal with: A. Social situations 1. fear of being judged 2. silence in a conversation feeling awkward 3. feeling like the odd one out in a group 4. being interrupted or talked over 5. meeting people when I have no social energy 6. fear of being seen as boring or unexciting 7. being… (edited) read more

Someone asked me how the way I want someone to love me.?

I don't want to be loved by someone whose only life goal is to be loved by me. Maybe it sounds romantic at first...to be someone's whole world, someone's reason for waking up, someone's greatest purpose. But I think there is something painfully lonely about being loved that way. I don't want to… (edited) read more

Coming home to emptiness

I think the biggest win for me would be having someone special to jump into my arms when I come home from work. I enjoy lottle things like that. Its a comfort having someone that just gets so wrapped up in being around you that even stuff like holding them close, kissing their forehead gently while… read more

Feeling emptiness is real

Pray ..

Sometimes, while praying, your own ego may whisper to you, “Is there really any point in praying or not?” Sometimes, even when you ask only Him for something, you may suddenly feel an emptiness inside. When that happens, do not give up. Because faith is not always about feeling something.… read more

I am I said Neil Diamond

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time And the feeling is "lay back" Palm trees grow and rents are low But you know I keep thinkin' about Making my way back Well I'm New York City born and raised But nowadays I'm lost between two shores L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home New York's home But it ain't… read more

My lord knows💔

Sometimes I feel like if I could just vanish for a little while, maybe I would feel better. Simply disappear from this familiar world. From all the noise around me. From people’s expectations, their questions, their explanations and the constant need to make myself understood. I want to go… read more

A normal night of darkness and emptiness in the labyrinth of one's mind

Some people look interesting but once they start talking..... I just find emptiness... The words that lack of actions... The lack of living skills... The lack of empathy... The lack of understanding... Just some people trying to create their image ... (edited)

staring at the emptiness in myself

tell me how to overcome emptiness and overcome Insomnia

Equanimity ✨

There was a time I mistook stillness for emptiness. Now, I wonder if this is simply what peace has always felt like. 💓

When the Room Goes Quiet

It's strange how you can look around one day and realize a room that used to be full of laughter, conversation, warmth, and connection feels almost completely empty now. You don't necessarily know when it happened. There may not have been one big moment where everything changed. Sometimes you just… read more

Why would anyone waste their time wishing others to die alone or never know love, just because they live differently or hold other values?

If their lives were truly full, if their hearts were at peace, they wouldn’t need to feed on someone else’s light. People only lash out when something in them is already broken. Whether a soul walks alone or loves deeply, their story belongs to them. Envy, cruelty, and bitterness only reveal the… read more

You know what I've always found fascinating is the fact that every single thing we all go through in our lives is what forges us into who we are meant to be. Isolation, betrayal, the darkness, the highs and the lows, all act as a crucible. Forging you into the person you're meant to be.

You know, I wouldn't be the person I am today who has zero desires for anything materialistic and worldly, the temporary happiness, the fleeting pleasure etc. if not for the crucible in the fire which forged me into who I am now. My experiences have made me taste true eternal peace, happiness,… (edited) read more

The old world

I look back at the old world and feel absolutely no regret letting it go. To step into the light as a completely new person, I just allowed the one I used to be to burn down. For the first time, I look at my fears not with judgment, but with warmth and a calm smile, thanking them for the lessons. I… read more

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, but it doesn’t really feel like it. The calendar says celebration; the lights are up, the world keeps moving, but there’s an emptiness I can’t decorate away. Maybe the season didn’t change, maybe I did, and now I’m learning how to celebrate while carrying a sense of loss.

Valkyrie filling the emptiness within you.

Cats have a way of filling the void inside you.

Anyone else feeling like online dating is like shouting into a void of emptiness at times

What do you do if you feel the emptiness crawling back and out of the hole you managed to dig in? Is it too early to go this deep on a tuesday? Hm, probably

We live in a world where people crave love but ghost, disappear and treat each other as replaceable. I’ve felt that emptiness, and I refuse to become it. I’m not ashamed to say I want something rare: a love that stays. And this world tries to convince me otherwise, I’m still brave to look 4 it .

Choose love from wholeness, not emptiness.

Emotional Numbness

I think I used to feel things a lot more strongly, but now it's like there's a vast emptiness in me. Its like I just don't feel much of anything anymore. Does anyone else have experience with this?

I find myself at a point in life marked by a quiet sadness, a sense of emptiness, and the awareness that I am not yet ready for something more.

I’ve let go of the expectation that someone will come into my life, that I will be chosen, or that I will ultimately end up with anyone. The only reason I remain here is that I haven’t quite brought myself to walk away entirely. I’ve come to understand that feelings no matter how genuine are not… read more

Survival mode.. Only breathing.. only living.. in the emptiness

After you, nothing was ever enough

After you, nothing was ever enough. I tried to move on. I met new people. I laughed again. I let myself be cared for. I even convinced myself that maybe, someday, someone else would make me forget what you meant to me. But somehow, every good thing still felt incomplete. Because you left… read more

According to Psychology: "Why You Can Feel Happy… and Still Feel Hollow" 1. Because the human mind can hold two emotions at once. Happiness and emptiness are… read more

— Fear of Warmth Acrylic on canvas, 2023

I am always afraid of something physical. Maybe it is because hugs and kisses were never common in my home. Growing up as an only child, space and solitude built me to be strong. Dependence began to feel like something wrong. And now, I feel sorry— for myself and for those trying to enter my… read more

I rarely have trouble sleeping, but tonight I woke in the middle of the night with an unexpected feeling of sadness and emptiness.

If you’ve ever felt the same, don’t ignore it. Try to understand where it comes from. Our mental well-being is one of the most valuable things we have, and it deserves care and attention. Don’t allow anything to slowly dim your peace of mind or cast a shadow over your days. And perhaps even more… (edited) read more

In English they say I ache for you in poetry

As the darkness favours the light.. Your lips that haven’t tasted.. and yet I feel it as a memory… That lingers in faith that I cannot fight! Dawns of fury… No longer … Yet.. it doesn’t die… Where is her ? The emptiness that fills the sky! As smoothly the shared memories of something so vivid… read more

Loneliness

Loneliness isn’t always about being alone. Sometimes, it shows up in crowded rooms, in conversations that never quite reach you, in moments where you feel invisible even when you’re seen. It’s a quiet kind of ache—the kind that doesn’t ask for attention but lingers anyway. You start to miss not… read more

Moment like this

Loneliness, emptiness... less? More? Nothing, no one, just me... 😮‍💨
