How do you deal with feeling empty?

Hi there

I feel a bit awkward asking this because i dont want it to sound like a pity party and I always try to deal with things myself rather than bother others.

I'm 29M, I work a full time job, live with my nan, have decent savings and seem to be doing okay for myself for the most part. I'm in decent shape, I work hard as a car mechanic and if I'm being fair on myself here, I'm not the most attractive guy in the world like Chris Hemsworth but not unattractive either. But I also have moments where I feel incredibly lonely and left behind in life. I have a best friend and my cousin and they're great guys and I can't fault them.

At the moment, my best friend is off travelling and my cousin is married and trying for children. My friend is talking about moving to Scotland in the future and my cousin has his own life and a wife to worry about.

I find dating incredibly hard. Especially online dating. Me and my ex girlfriend broke up last year and dating has been a complete dud. I've hit a wall. I don't fully rely on someone else to fill my cup but it would be nice have someone to compliment my life.

So I don't have a gf and I don't really have any hobbies as I'm knackered on weekends and prepping for work on Monday. I feel a lack of direction and sense of purpose. I'm not depressed or suicidal btw.

Can I have some tips on how you deal with things when feeling a bit lonely/empty. Many thanks 🙂
