Why do people feel “empty” inside?
Because some times you can’t afford to feel any more because as “bad” as feeling empty is feeling something is worse. I believe that at some point the bad feelings just hurt so much and take so much energy that the mind and body decide enough is enough and person just stops feeling…. the other type of empty yo might be describing is that left when something or some one has been ripped from our lives and the empty spot they leave inside weather it is death, or the break of a long relationship, the loss does tend to leave hollow or empty feeling for some time its a void where that person used to be, thus an empty feeling inside.
