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.

"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
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?
