Meaning Deficit: When Life Feels Functional but Empty
Explore why life feels empty even when everything works.
When Life Feels Internally Uninhabited
When life feels internally uninhabited, actions occur without anyone fully home inside them.
Rooms exist, but nothing occupies them.
This state is not abandonment or failure—it is a form of internal quiet.
Naming it removes pressure to repopulate experience with feeling.

Frequently Asked Questions
I feel like I'm a "ghost" in my own house. Why does my life feel "uninhabited"?
This is "Internal Uninhabitation." You are present in your body, but your Identity System is currently "off-site." This happens when you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself but haven't "moved into" the new one yet. Naming this prevents the fear of Dissociation. You aren't "gone"; the "rooms" are just currently being renovated.
How do I "move back in" to my own life?
You don't force it. You treat your life like a "House You Are Sitting For." Do the maintenance. Keep the habits. Be a good "caretaker" of the body. Eventually, the Integrator will signal that the renovation is complete, and you will "wake up" inside your life again. For now, being the "caretaker" is a high-density success.
