Feeling empty. I have feel nothing
I seriously need help. I am 18 years old and this past year I have noticed that I don't have any emotions towards anyone. I am not anti-social, I have many friends and I don't have a problem in that area. I've tried to tell my best friend that I don't have feelings for anything but he thought I meant I had no feelings for boys, so he basically called me a lesbian or bi. He was no help at all. I tried explaining it a different way but he still didn't get it. I am not happy or sad or depressed...it's like I'm empty. For the most part I'm just blah. I don't really know how to explain it. It's weird. When I'm with my friends I'm fine. When I think about relationships I don't feel a single thing. When I kiss someone, you would think I would feel something, but I feel nothing. I see these couples on TV and movies and I want that. I want to feel happy. I haven't wanted anyone, so I tried sleeping with someone. Still I felt nothing. I thought this would help but it didn't. When someone asks me how I'm doing I respond fine because I don't know what else to say. I'm not sure if I'm bored or if there is something wrong with me. It's just like I'm existing but not living if that makes sense. Can someone help me please.

I think you're just bored with your life. Try new things! Do something to get some excitement in your life! Try taking risks like going sky-diving, going on new rollercoasters, taking a road trip to a place you've never been to and discover new things. It doesn't have to be so grand.. you can try smaller things like dying your hair a different color, getting highlights, new haircut, trying a new fashion taste or going to a different store and buying new clothes there.
I used to be like this too. I had no emotions. No happiness, no sadness, just blah. I was just bored of my life. A major change happened in my life. My mom got a promotion in her job and she had to move to a different country. That was a huge change for me and because of that change, I started feeling emotions again. i got sad because I didn't see her as much. I felt love because I realized how much she means to me. Then I started making changes on my own. I got new friends and I got happy to be around them. I colored my hair which I absolutely love and proud to wear :) I used to be a shy girl who never went out, but I changed that and went out dancing and had fun. Met new people (ahem guys.. haha) and tried new things. It was fun and I enjoyed my life :)
Good luck!!!

Post-Romantic depression, Post-Boredom depression and or a combination of both. Either or it's still linked to some sort of depression. You said it yourself, you feel empty. The feeling of emptiness is linked to depression. Have you ever been in love? Felt attracted to a boy before? Or a girl? Aside from depression you could be, a-sexual. Not attracted to either sex, don't feel a need to do sexual things with a partner or give as much affection as one would usually do. But for the fact that you say you're not happy and you want to be like in the movies, it's a bit of a sign toward being depressed. Maybe the right person hasn't come a long yet to make you feel all those things.
For the mean time, try not to stress about it and surround yourself with friends and family that make you feel comfortable.

Read and analyze. Figure out which you relate to more.
Seeing a psychologist can also benefit you.
