Emptiness (How to Stop Feeling Empty) - Teal Swan-

One persistent feeling state that many people struggle with is a feeling of emptiness. Self help gurus say that if you feel empty before a relationship, you’ll feel empty during a relationship so that leaves the question, what the hell are you supposed to do if you do feel empty. In this episode, Teal explains what causes the feeling of emptiness and also how to solve it so you don’t feel empty anymore.

I love myself. I want to share that love with someone. I want to feel wanted by someone else other than myself. I want to belong. I want my achievements to be acknowledged. I want to feel like I have purpose. I want to be understood and listened to. Everytime I've sought this has only led me back to the same lonely, desperation that I feel because most people don't care, some people pretend to care, and all people hurt you.

You stop feeling empty by loving others, helping others. This creates a wellspring of love within you that never dies.

I feel empty because my life lacks excitement. I'm so bored.

I wrote a poem last night to show how I was feeling and already 30 seconds into this video it covers most of what I wrote down.
here is my poem:



Pure vandilisim

That is what chocked out my inner soul.
I was not physically here
And happiness felt like an act
Something easy I pulled off flawlessly
But it damaged my inner self

Walking aimlessly through streets not knowing what my instincts even were
It lead me nowhere
To absolute isolation in my head
I had lost my spirit
My motive
And my heart
I felt a wreckage to my life
Which was being swallowed into a void
I couldn’t stop it.
No matter how much I tried

There was no cure to the darkness that arose
Pieces of life were floating a away
And I was brainwashed to follow with it too
No fresh starts
No reset button
I was going somewhere
Somewhere people said was not on earth
But hell is where we stand
its right in our mind
Depression itself is the empty hell void

[RamasesBullock]

Family never spent time with me and spent most my life alone. Soical anxity and fear from emotional abuse keeps me away from people and feeling empty and borde.

[inaccuratewayz]

i feel dead. emotionless. broken. so i came here

[oMehrcy]

Saying my needs aren’t met is an enormous understatement, I’m beyond broken living mindless

[queenk]

- raise vibration to the feeling you would have when you get what you specifically need
- deep dive into the emptiness, find out exactly what is it that you need & be with its presence. Give it full attention

[blasphemy]

i dont feel im lacking anything thats the problem... im feeling nothing, completly empty, just walking zombie spaced out

[jessicahubbard]

I fall spot on into the category she mostly describes here. My parents met all of my physical needs - above and beyond, really - and just about none of my emotional ones. I felt lonely, misunderstood and "wrong". I felt like my very existence had something "wrong" about it, because even though I made every effort to achieve and to be "good", I still exacted burdens on my parents, like time spent taking me to events, money being paid for schools (money was big in our family), and - God forbid - certain outpourings or even minor expressions of emotion that were treated like bad behavior, because my parents didn't know what to do with them. They only knew what to do with me when I seemed happy all the time. So I tried to be that, and learned to stuff and suppress and silence any emotion I felt, to the point where it didn't even feel safe to be honest with myself that I was feeling such things (or anything at all, really). I started to take pride in being what my father endearingly called me: "Grace under fire." Because where else could my self-worth come from? It ended up coming from achievements, and being able to keep my emotions in check. What resulted was a two year bout of acute mania, during which all of my pent up emotions exploded on me and everyone else.

That was for me. The question I have with respect to this video is - I don't know if it's a question. I guess I'd just say that figuring out exactly what needs weren't being met, and then working within the parameters of what you feel you are emotionally capable of taking on to meet them, simply isn't as simple as it might seem. It's like undoing years of programming, not to mention working your mind out of the habit of negative self talk that used to somehow keep me safe.

Really I think I need a therapist, but one who knows what he or she is doing with respect to me. Not sure where to find one of those!

Honestly, the minute those needs are met–it feels euphorically satiating. I've had a starving need to belong since I was a kid and whenever I come across genuine connection it feels like my heart's genuine desire. However, the starvation can also make us act out in manners that go against our ultimate best interests for eg. many a times I've accepted tiny morsels and breadcrumbs of love and connection because that was the only thing avaliable to me in the moment and soon I found myself in profoundly abusive situations. So I think while it's necessary to meet these needs, there's some discretion required in how we go about meeting them.

A wound I had was activated this weekend - It was the unmet emotional need from my mother. I didn’t realise it was still there to that extent, as I have been doing inner child work and was feeling much more peaceful generally. Afterward I went to a special tree in my garden and hugged it. I started to cry. I feel more emotional connection with that tree than I ever have with my mother.

Emptiness holds the possibility of being filled and fulfilled.

Embrace it 🤗

Poetry would come out of it.

[Howlite__]

I feel lonely. If I'm being honest, deep down I am an extremely lonely person who hardly ever feels understood by the people around me. But I'm learning to not hold grudges against them for it, because they are just being true to their own needs. I just wish I could meet someone that acknowledges me and cares and worries enough to meet my needs. ❤ Is that really selfish to ask for?

[djukafox]

This feeling usually is the same feeling that doesn't let you enjoy things. It's like " if I just had that one thing that I am lacking, I will be able to enjoy and relax myself".

[coolwater]

I have done tons of self healing over the years to some good effect but I remained aware that I was not whole but could not find the missing your videos today. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you so much!

[helixvoidecho]

Self love is impossible for those with so much self-hatred and no proof of love

[numerouno]

Let's all of us loners become friends 😂

[paulcooper]

Great video it makes sense but when you say just go find company that sometimes is not so easy especialy when you get alot of the wrong company.

[ChicaChickenXD]

I feel dead inside because I can't learn to let go.Every bit of sadness stays with me, I can barely ever remember what those things are, But the thing that really hit it was my dog passing away.My parents don't know, therefore they can't help, I don't know If they even would.I left a couple of hints at school, 6th grade, but I'm going to middle school so can't help, Even though she probably wouldn't, and (awkward alert)I have crushes on fictional characters, They just seem so lovable, but they don't exists so I can't even MEET them.Inwant somebody to hug me and say it's ok.I want to be happy.I even had to hold back tears while writing this.
