Can you be an empty person?

Unusual Beliefs
1

I hear this thing telling me I’m empty. It makes me feel like I have no personality. Like I’m not really a person… Do you have any suggestions to how I can “feel full” or how to get myself back?

Take meds, work hard, enjoy life.

My quarter life crisis started around your age at 22 and continued to 25. I helped this by enriching myself with knowledge by reading and volunteering, improving my health, doing productive things, etc…

I think I’m out of the quarter life crisis now

I felt empty for a while.

I read in a book once there are 3 stages of life. A. You feel but don’t think (youth) B. You think but don’t feel (adolescence to young adulthood) and C you combine the 2 together (adulthood) Sounds like you’re in stage B.

This too, but I remember my 19 year old friend who was 17 at the time saying “I’m so boring, there’s never anything to talk about to _________ (older guy)” and I was 24 at the time and just coming into my own a little bit and I said “that’s cuz you’re young, you will find things to talk about.” Apparently your judgement of yourself doesn’t come until you’re at least 25 according to my therapist. You’re unable to judge yourself adequately until you’re 25. She told me this when I was 24.
