This. Apathy is what most people mean when they say they feel nothing, and it really is the worst sensation to feel utterly indifferent to everything. Especially when you know you should care, you know you cared before, but you can't muster the energy to bother anymore.

When I say I feel empty what I generally mean is that I'm there in body but not in spirit. I'm going through the motions of life but the person who should be there just... isn't.
