It's weird. I feel really, really empty when I'm not forcing myself to do something or talk to someone.
As if my existence is meaningless and I'm absolutely insignificant. Like staring into an endless abyss.
Sometimes, it happens even when I have people to talk to or things to do.

Urm, I'm probably just weird.

That sounds like textbook depression.

You should keep forcing yourself to get out and do things, make sure you're taking good care of yourself (eat, sleep, sun, exercise), and maybe see a therapist or something.

Or Buddhist.
What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You're not weird, hon. I've felt the same way many times myself. I've found that the best way to combat that is to give our existence meaning. To find something we're good at, and do it. To shift the focus away from introversion.

What are you good at? What do you enjoy?

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3
