<human>: A bit of a background story before I start. I used to be a hardcore gamer back in high school...I played like 9-13hours a day and didn't really have a great social life and barely any close friends since I'm always on the computer gaming. Since I got into university my 1st and 2nd year were pretty much similar in terms of gaming and I didn't get to meet a lot of people. I realized in third year that this wasn't healthy for me and I should go out more to meet new people. Since then I have felt a lot happier, made tons of friends and close friends that I don't think I've ever felt so happy.

Now I'm in fourth year and I've met even more people and made some new friends which I'm really thankful for. I should be really happy but everyday I feel really empty inside. I've never felt this way before so it has gotten me really confused with my emotions and depressed. I should be really happy since I've made so many close friends but it seems that no matter how many times I meet up with people or talk to my close friends I still feel really sad and empty inside. Reddit what is wrong with me? Why did I start feeling this way all of a sudden out of nowhere. I don't know why I'm so sad all the time when I should be really happy and blessed for all the friends I have.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I was a huge gamer with not many friends. I decided I would change my life and I've gained many close friends but I feel really empty and sad inside. I don't know why.
