I feel so empty inside. It's hindering me from performing to my full potential.

yeah...I know what you mean
think about what is important to you
grab on to it
walk confidently in that direction
somehow... one direction has got to work out
I think ;-)

I suppose empty might mean lots of things.
There is a photo of my kid when he was a couple of months old, and he is just staring out of his blanket at the camera, just absorbing with a beautiful neutral look, and I think of that as empty, being before or beyond personality.
Then Buddhists talk about emptiness as a good thing. I don't know if the idea is to realise how empty we are?
Then again, people with BPD speak of emptiness as a bad or at least painful thing.
And there are various states of deprivation like loneliness or having no life that might be described as empty.
My lovely doctor was talking about self organising systems, and then he said something like 'so there's nobody home', meaning we are fundamentally without a self.
I never know what this stuff means of course.
