Why am I still feeling empty?

24F. Never been on dates before and never got asked out or approached. I was craving connections (marriage, building a family) for a veryy long time and since I’ve been praying to God to remove that desire from me I made peace with myself. I didn’t want to start the day with expectations and get disappointed and honestly, I’ very thankful that that desire is going away slowly. I don’t crave that desire anymore, and I even don’t want to let anyone near me. But I still feel empty although I’m happy with myself. I study, I pray and I always thank God. I even used to be sad about seeing couples at the gym but now I don’t even care, i like being alone. I’ve always been very independent and I don’t need anyone to take care of me but why am I still feeling empty?
