I’m going to take your answer in good faith and answer honestly, please don’t aspire to be me
but unironically no, I don’t know if other people are like this but I don’t really have an internal self of feeling unless prompted, I can feel happy, sad, depressed, etc, but if I’m not currently in a mental health episode and I sit alone in a room alone and unstimulated I feel absolutely nothing internally, like my feelings do not exist, I guess you could describe it as being empty like you said
I practiced meditative sessions (I like to think of myself as Buddhist) up to 45 minutes (sometimes an hour) and since then I’ve been able to just decide to stop thinking bar intense mental health episodes, like I can tell my brain to stop producing thought, and it’s just silence, internal silence and internal emptiness, that’s how I experience a lot of my life
This is how I feel too sometimes… but I fear maybe I once had a soul and now lost it or maybe just lost the illusion of it… maybe love is to stare into your lovers eyes and both of you recognizing your mutual emptiness…

I never believed in the concept of a soul so I can’t elaborate on that, but I hope you find the answers you’re looking for
