why do i have this feeling /adv/
i constantly feeling this yearning desire for something. It's longing for something or someone but I've yet to figure out why I have it. I usually feel empty and aimless and I'm constantly nostalgic and remembering people from my past, sometimes trying to contact them. The longing isn't for anything in particularly but i fill this emptiness and the void using women or whatever I can.
I thought I'm lonely, I lack love, sex or something else. Yet when I have these things I feel better momentarily only to feel longing and emptiness after the moment is gone.
You might think "you need a relationship" but I've relationship with a girl who loves and adores me for 3 years. Yet I still have this unknown yearning desire.
Anyone feel like this?

>Anyone else feel like this?
Yes. You need to change things up and take leaps of faith while you can. This is a pretty vague thread so that is why not many people can help you much. The more you say what is on your mind the more you know what you are desiring. Then you are closer to getting rid of this feeling.

I'm not desiring anything in particular. It's an obscure feel of missing someone or something that doesn't exist. I fill this void by contacting old friends, old flames, or having meaningless sex.
Even in a relationship this feeling of missing someone that doesn't exist is still there.
I don't really have a meaning to my life. Everything feels really empty. This is probably why I feel like that

Is this a reference to something?

Nothing wrong with always longing for more. Keeps you motivated to do shit.

I'm not motivated by anything. I'm not greedy. I don't long for objects or material positions.
It's a lonely longing..like missing someone you haven't met yet.

I feel similar. I keep busy, but I still have those feelings of nostalgia. Hey, at least you have things to plug the holes. I mess up every occasion I have for casual sex, so I wonder if maybe it's all caused by me not having a girl.
Just keep doing things, and eventually you will come to find what you are looking for. That's what I hope, for myself and you, (anyways)
