Why do I feel empty after getting everything I wanted?

Question

I worked hard, got the job, the apartment, the relationship I wanted and now I feel completely empty and unmotivated. I thought achieving my goals would make me happy but it didn't. What is wrong with me?

This is called arrival fallacy. We think happiness lives at the destination but it actually lives in the journey. You need new meaningful goals.

It might also be depression. Anhedonia, which is the inability to feel pleasure, is a common symptom. Consider speaking to a professional.
