Sometimes I feel like I'm hollow from the inside.

I've recently started a new job, which required me to move to Bangalore. This is my first time living away from my family and relocating to a new city. I don't have any connections here—no friends, no batchmates. Despite these significant changes, I don't feel any excitement or emotional distress. I don't feel homesick at all.

I suspect that my lack of emotional response might be due to years of suppressing my emotions since childhood. Now, I'm wondering what I can do to find happiness. I'm in the early stages of my career and haven't yet achieved financial stability.

Do join a lot of meetup groups in and around indiranagar, Koramangala and old Bangalore- Cubbon park etc. You would gel along and then find your core interests

As a former highly repressed individual, and current still mostly repressed, I can only say that you need to keep putting yourself out there. Be open to new experiences. What will happen is not that you'll become "normal" whatever that means, but a lot of different parts of you are going to manifest and you'll become more wholesome as a person. Try to put yourself in challenging situations, socially in this context and you'll surprise yourself with your own nature. Do that often and suddenly you are no longer hollow, hopefully not too dense either. Hehe. Stupid

Appreciate your advice. Venturing out and communicating with other individuals has been my biggest hurdle because of my nature as an introvert. But I'm trying to get out of my bubble.

If you have moved just a month or two ago, it's quite normal to feel this way but if it's been more than 6 months, you are an introvert. You need to find how to come out of it and be a bit extroverted. I am not saying being an introvert is bad as against extroverts but considering you aren't happy at this point. The time when I moved to Bangalore, I had 3 others as my roommate and one of them was my childhood friend. So it was a smooth and happy transition.

I forgot to mention that I'm an introvert. Probably that is one of factors affecting my behaviour
