It's been 3 years now that I feel like this and i don't know what to do. I travel, party, relax, meditate, nothing works. I feel empty inside.

The answers you'll get from this question will vary depending upon the personal, moral, ethical, & spiritual beliefs of the those that answer. My thoughts are that i would begin with an indepth inventory of yourself - what's happened in your life over the last 3 years, are you experiencing guilt (that's buried), are you expecting too much from yourself, are you pushing yourself to be perfect - etc...once you are honest with yourself about these issues it will be easier to find a way out of the emptiness & be fulfilled. Many people try to fill their lives with materialistic pursuits, fame, activities, etc., only to find that the more they add to their lives, the more empty they become,....you need to find the deeper meaning to your life, while i am not a Bible Thumper by any stretch of the imagination, i will say that thru spirituality i have (personally) found a way out of some really dark places - we all need something greater than ourselves to believe in, we all search for the answers to the big questions like "is this all there is"? "what if"? etc..... the bottom line is that true fulfillment comes from within us, it can't be absorbed....
Good Luck

Get resensitized to magic. good grades do not translate to intelligent. People will find that intelligence and morality are one and the same, and there are no intelligent humans, yet.
I promise you, magic happens. You believed this when you were a tot. Everyone did. Resensitize yourself by accepting that humans are not nearly as smart as they give themselves credit for.
What causes an object to hit the ground when I drop it? You will say gravity. that tells me NOTHING. It is magic.
I can ask you a question and I know what your answer will be and I can tell you how you learned your answer, and I can tell you that whoever told you the meaning of 666 DID NOT tell you the whole truth. The true meaning of 666 has been right under our noses for a hundred years and the village idiot got it when Einstein couldn't. Well that makes sense. He probably didn't even read the Bible.
A college educated friend of mine said " I consider the Bible to be an interesting historical document." Hold it, doubting Thomas, You ain't never read the book, so therefore that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. A favorite saying of mine is that ( and I learned it from a friend) people ain't got brains to pour pee out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
More people in the family demands more discipline. (Well duh.) Ther are roughly 6.66 billion people in our family with 10,000 new babies every hour, net. Jesus said it is not only a sin to steal, but a sin not to share. Not only a sin to commit adultery, but a sin to even think abouyt it. Well guress what, son. with ten thousand new brothers and sisters every hour. it is a sin to even THINK about sex, either hetero or homo. Shame on you.
There isn't one person on this planet that has graduated kindergarten. Not one. Share your crayons(assets), share responsibility (Humans are destroying their own life support system, Not apes), respect authority. To respect authority, one must interpret the authority correctly and recognize the authority.
The earth will be filled with meek humans via the carrot and the stick. these meek humans will believe in magic!
Please check the Dead Sea Scrolls and see what they say about the idiot with moles and red hair. I've always wondered what the thigh part meant in Revelation 19. I thought it was a well exercised thigh 'cause a good king must have the heart of a child. I do. I ride a tricycle. Bicycle, I mean. What's the difference.
Your creator knew our chemical makeup, a looong trime ago. That's magic.

You need a purpose. Sex, looks, and education are only skimming the surface of happiness. They are all temporary pleasures. Find something you really wish to acheive, and work toward that goal. When that is acheived, find something else. Experiences never end, there are always more out there to experience. You are becoming bored with these things, and that's normal, life isn't like in the movies, where the handsome, intelligent guy gets any girl he wants and lives happily ever after. There's more to life than that, and you are starting to see this, and that's good. Life is about experiences. You have experienced the most you can get out of sex, and education, and you want more. Not to tell you to give these things up, but realize that you don't need them to be happy. You need a purpose, everyone does. I read a really good book called "The Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman. It's pretty awesome because the character in the book was exactly like you, smart, athletic, got sex anytime he wanted it, but he began to feel empty inside and couldn't figure out why, until he met someone who told him why. You should read it, it will change your whole outlook on life. You can get it for pretty cheap on Amazon. Good Luck!

Think of your life as a bank account. You were blessed with an endless supply to draw from --- and you've fully enjoyed this right? Well, what have you given back in return for the many gifts?
Some find there careers wonderful places to give back. They were educated in a specific field/ task and by using what they pay for they find reward; or returning what was bestowed on them is gratifying.
Some find that a special woman who could be a wife is worthy of giving to. When this happens you mature from seeing women as objects, give up self-gratifying acts, and learn to give value someone else more than yourself.
Some find that philanthropy work fills this hole. Volunteering at soup kitchens or building houses for the poor or (for medical ppl) working in third world countries to vaccinate the poor.
All the above have the big thread of "God". As a Catholic, I'm taught that all the above are "Vocations". Vocations are different than a "Career" as they are what God desires you to do. So, "Got God?"

Hmmm... maybe because there is more to life than looking good, having sex, making good grades, and relaxing? Superficial answers to deeper questions leave most intelligent people feeling empty. Try theology, philosophy, or psychology for a better response...

are the things you're doing really what YOU want to do, or what others want?
Have goals and focus on accomplishing those goals, they give you a sense of satisfaction in the end. Or find a purpose in life and live up to it.
For some people, religion is the way. for others, it isn't. So you may want to try it out if you want.
But whatever you do, do what YOU want and like, and don't wory about what other people think, just do you.

I can only think about how many people would love to trade places with you and make it work. With all that you have going for you, you have to continue to find out what is wrong. First and foremost, go to a good doctor and have a complete physical examination, including blood work. A thyroid problem is only one example of a hidden physical problem which can affect your mental health.

Christos I concur with ginger j
man is a three part person
body soul and spirit there is
nothing that can cure your problem
only JESUS THE SON OF GOD.
I say this because I was on the
same path I tried all the same things
you have and believe I know they did
not work.
Your problem is called sin.
And it takes the blood of JESUS to heal you.

There is ONLY 1 answer to this question "GOD." U need to get right with him FIRST and FOREMOST then your life will take on a new meaning and you will feel new and whole again. If u look anywhere else your life will still be looking for something else still not satisfying. God does things like this in order to bring u closer to him. So, why not give him a chance and talk to him. He will listen when no one else will.

stop living in the now. plan for the future. start investing in something bigger than yourself. and i dont mean just giving money away to charity. that doesnt work. try actually helping other people. find one person that you can go out of your way for. and, if you so feel inclined, try searching for God.
good luck! hope that helps you out!
