Hi

Welcome to the community.

Can you describe what you mean by hollowness?

Hi Lilo, it is important to socialize, even if it is just on this forum. We are wired to have relationships that matter for our survival, no human is an island. I wish you peace, hope, and feelings of being full 😀

Do you know what's causing it? How long has it been going on?

Hi Lilo0955, Sometimes when we feel "unfulfilled", we can feel empty or hollow inside.

Even in a room full of people, we can feel alone. This can come from depression,

dissatisfaction of our life or being stuck in a stalemate too long making us afraid to

take that step forward and out of our shell.

What I feel can help at times, is knowing you aren't alone with this feeling.

Find a purpose in life for yourself. What can Lilo do to make others feeling this

way more complete. This in turn could help you are well because of the self satisfaction

you would get in knowing that you and you alone are reponsible for someone's smile.

Volunteering is a prompt and quick way to be proud in what you do. Something where

others respect and acknowledge you. Interacting with people on this forum can do

the same thing once you take that step forward.

No one wants to be lonely but remember overcoming loneliness must start within

ourselves. Words or actions of others may be what we are looking for but when you

go home, it's all about you again. Try finding a video on YouTube regarding this matter.

It can give you some prospective in how to overcome this hollow feeling and feel

worthwhile and full once more. My best dear :) xx
