Why does my chest feel so empty?
I have a hollow feeling in my chest. Like its empty. Sometimes I feel like its the need to have someone to love but I already have plenty of people who love me. Its not a physical pain, more of an emotional pain. But it hurts a lot and sometimes I just want to break down and cry. I've never been depressed and never had a boyfriend. So its not heartbreak. I want to know why this is happening and how I can stop it. But I would be satisfied with an answer to why this is happening. And I can't see a doctor so please don't say that.
If it helps I'm 14 years old...

This is called a "God shaped hole" in Christianity. God can satisfy that void and make you complete. What you need to do is this:
1. Read Matthew in the Bible (link below).
2. Do what it says (e.g. love your God on purpose, pray, love your neighbor, serve people).
3. Find others who do that same thing. In other words, go to a good, Bible believing church.
4. Believe the truth about our lives and our purpose. I listed this last because you can do the motions without fully believing them and still find some value in them. But if you actually start believing that there is a purpose to your life, and that you're living it, it's satisfying. It really is.
