Andrea Maria,

i can relate to the emptiness. for me it is especially painful when 1. i know i can give a lot, but i don´t know how, and i see the environment not appreciating what i can contribute with. 2. when i give but do not receive in return – ¡it can be in a relationship for example, generally a big imbalance between giving a receiving either by not giving anything or not receiving anything creates this feeling for me. For me it only works to find different environmnets where i can contribute. Maybe you should leave the relationship, buy maybe not – maybe try fulfilling yourself in other areas of life and through other relations – friendships, work –  and see how it goes.
