Why do I feel this way?

I've always wondered why I felt a certain way. I've always felt empty, like there's something out there for me but I have no clue what it is and I can taste it but it's not there. I've always felt this deep feeling of loneliness and I don't know why. I feel as if there's this void within me that nothing can fill. No one in my family died or anything and I've had no trauma.. I'm just.. Empty. I just realized that I've felt this way for years, almost 7 to be exact. I feel like it started when I moved to a different city about 20 Mins away from my old one. I moved and left all my elementary friends behind and to a new middle school.. But shouldn't I be over that? I'm a college freshman now. Why do I still feel like this? There's a void in me and idk what it is???

you feel like lost your roots and connection to the place that accepts you and you know intimately ? What makes you feel alive ? Spending time with family ? old friends ? visiting familiar places ?

The reasons could be many, but from what you have explained I feel the reasons could be

1. You can't feel yourself to be complete(Yourself) and you want someone/thing to fill the void in you all the time.

2. You are not able to let go of something(Past/Person/situation), clinging on to which makes you feel lonely even though you are alone.

3. You can feel empty/Void, only when you know something is missing, and you are not happy with what you have in hand, so the quest is a never ending process.

Did you have friends after you moved? Were they good, real, long lasting friends? Do you have them now? Some things to think about I guess. Like I moved in 4th grade and could never really make friends after that point. I had some friends, sure, but most of them didn't last long and even the longer lasting ones weren't as close as I see other people have. I didn't get all the memories that people got. Maybe it's not that though, idk.
