Empty / dead inside. What is wrong?

stop looking for external sources to fill the holes. how the fuck could you even come to the conclusion that using people who are empty as fuck themselves to fill your void will work out?

find a mission and pursue it.

go read Feeling Good by David M. Burns. it's a revolutionary self-help book that deals with depression using cognitive therapy. Highly effective. It basically says 'your thoughts create your feelings.'

it has helped me alot personally and continues to do so, it has hard hitting facts and WILL help reduce your depression.

I highly recommend it for anyone who's depressed.

lots of unknowns here. how are you sleeping/eating? does your family have a history of mental illness? are you compulsively addicted to porn (or anything else for that matter)? have you always been depressed? what do you tell yourself about yourself/what’s your self-talk like? hard to help you when you provide so little info.

Find hobbies and a fulfilling career path, women and other external sources of validation won’t make you happy in the long run.

Girls will always remain as a byproduct of self improvement.

I think you need to have a personal talk with yourself about what's actually making you feel down. Start doing little things like making sure your life is in order via small tasks (i.e laundry done, car is clean, deep cleaning room).

Are you close with your friends and family? And if so do you have anybody you can talk to?

Perhaps you are lacking a mission in life. Do you have a passion for anything? Do you enjoy helping people? Do you enjoy materialistic things? You need to pinpoint what actually satisfies you in life and make little goals that will make that bigger picture come into play.

Seasonal depression is also a thing too. During times when the weather is a lot more gloomy and dark, it's been shown to affect your take.

Perhaps take a look at meditating as well. Tons of youtube videos and guides online that will teach you and provide numerous anecdotal experience.

Good luck brother. Don't be afraid to reach out for help or seek a professional.
