When someone says they miss you a lot and feel empty without you being there; how do you respond?
"Look for other ways to fill that void."

His comment makes me uneasy. I wonder if it is his intention to make you you feel pressured to talk with him, or to feel some responsibility to fix the emptiness? I hope that you don't.

normally that person becomes controlling from what I have seen too.
Yes, controlling. That was my reaction.

The comment made me think of emotional blackmail--where someone tries to manipulate your feelings in order to get what they want.

Out of the FOG - Emotional Blackmail

What I heard was someone trying to make you feel guilty and responsible for that alleged emptiness.
Thanks for this!
