Meaning Deficit: When Life Feels Functional but Empty
Explore why life feels empty even when everything works.
When Nothing Feels Anchoring
When nothing feels anchoring, experience floats without a center of gravity.
There is no point that holds or settles you.
This does not mean you are lost—it means the usual anchors are not active.
Naming anchor loss reduces the urge to force stability where it is unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions
I used to care about so many things. Now, nothing feels "real" or "anchoring."
You have "Lost Internal Anchoring." Your old "hooks" into reality (career, social image, old fears) have detached. We name this "without alarm" because it’s a prerequisite for Authentic Anchoring. You are "drifting" because you have left the "shallow dock" and haven't yet reached the "deep water." This is Navigational Neutrality.
What should I anchor to if nothing feels real?
Anchor to Sensory Facts. The feeling of your feet on the floor. The temperature of your coffee. These are "High-Density Physical Anchors." They don't require "meaning" to be true. By anchoring in the Biological Now, you provide the safety your system needs while it waits for new, more stable meaning to form.
