to feel empty inside · to feel a deep sense of void
Ever had one of those moments when something significant happens, good or bad, and afterward, you just feel... empty? 😟 Like all your energy and emotions have been completely drained? That's when you 'feel hollow'. It's a great expression to use after a big event, a loss, or even achieving a long-term goal that leaves you wondering 'what now?'
When would you most appropriately use 'to feel hollow'? A. 😄 When you've just won the lottery and are celebrating with friends. B. 😭 After working on a huge project for months, you complete it, but then feel an unexpected emptiness. C. 🍝 When you're hungry and ready to eat a big meal.
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression isn't about physical hunger! 😂 It's purely emotional, describing a feeling of inner emptiness or a surprising lack of emotional response. It’s often used to describe a state of being after grief, a major disappointment, or even an anticlimactic success.
