i feel like every time that i get excited about something, i find that when i achive the goal ive been aiming for, i always get a feeling of emptiness afterwards, like im missing something, like i was expecting some sort of relief or something more. but instead i just feel nothing. i keep telling myself that itll be different next time and i just need to buy a more expensive, more fancy thing next to make myself feel better but no matter how hard i work for something, when i actually get it, i dont care,, its like the prospect of the goal is more exciting than the prize, and idk whats wrong with me, i never feel like i truely get a reward or work for anything that i want, its all just grey n boring to be once i have it.

never satisfied

Maybe what's happening to you is that you're thinking too much and demanding too much of yourself, let go a little.

It happens to me a lot, to be honest. I don't know how to help with this, since we're on the same page, but I can say that having these goals and feeling empty when you achieve them is much better than having no purpose at all. I swear, I really do. I'd recommend starting with simpler goals, not telling you to aim low, because that's a terrible thing, but starting this emotional exercise little by little makes all the difference.
