I was about to say to OP that I felt the same way. But recently I felt exactly ^this^ very recently. So I guess I can no longer say that I don't know what it feels like to "miss" someone.Ironic Pirate said:
To miss someone is to feel that, when you're away from them, you somehow aren't complete yourself. That they add something to you that you can't have by yourself. You think about that person constantly, and want nothing more than to be with them.
That is what truly missing somebody is. In my mind anyway.

Since you feel better around the person, while just feeling normal ordinarily- you want to be around them and feel better in times where that appeals to you. Sorry for your robotic characteristics that keep you from wanting apparently haha
I might be wrong, but I think Liara said that in Mass Effect. Or quoted someone.Thedayrecker said:
OT: Wow, just, wow. I understand not everyone is the same, but it's pretty basic human emotion.
The only think I've ever missed is my dog,
but it's pretty much just feels like a lesser form of anxiety/

If you don't miss someone when they're gone, you might want to take a very long look at just how much you care about having that person in your life.
When I'm dating someone, even when I'm off in my own world doing my own thing, I think from time to time about the next time I'm going to see her. Wonder what she's up to, if she's happy, if she's thinking about me. It's not obsessive; I do have a life of my own. But after a few hours or a few days away from someone (depending on the circumstances), it's the time I spent missing her that puts that extra little hop in my step when I do get to see her again.
That's as good as I can do explaining abstract concepts with words, but I presume you get the idea?

I'm missing someone right now. It means you feel pain when you think about them, you have a craving to talk to them. And soon as you do, you feel a sense of amazing happiness.

The loneliness kicks in first. The lost of of something you used to trust in and believe in. The idea that is gone. A hole in your heart that you made especially for them to fill to only have it yanked out and filled with nothingness. Sometimes it heals, sometimes you just remember old times.
It'll be different and you won't truly get 100% over it, but you can ease it

when you miss someone you feel a sadness in your heart because you wanna be with them which sucks but on the other hand if you never miss someone youll never feel the happiness of seeing that person
To miss somebody is to feel somewhat more lethargic when they aren't around, and just less happy. Not depressed, but you don't reach a state of elation. I'm missing somebody very close to me now, but I'll feel much better tomorrow, since that's when she's coming back~
The more independent you are as a person, the less likely you are to feel it. Love is a kind of interdependence, so if your "other half" is somewhere else when you're used to seeing them all day, you will feel empty and unfulfilled until they appear.
It's part of our evolutionary response to being alone (and this is why the feeling is akin to general loneliness as far as the physical sensations go), which is generally more dangerous than sticking with others.
The feeling is easy to describe. It will register in different ways or different people, but it's essentially an unease in the guts, down around your stomach and intestines. It is like a combination of worry and loneliness (because irrational worry about a partner would have forced men in particular to keep looking for the women in a tribe to ensure the safety of babies).
The feeling can be intense or dull, depending on your intensity of connection to the person, how long you've known them, and the nature of where they are (obviously a death is going to hit home much more than a day without a lover, though you might not agree at the time due to the feelings being irrational).
So in short, if you are an independent or apathetic type, and you don't really need others, and are used to being alone, you will find that these feelings are very rare for you. And due to them not being defined by past experience, you may also not recognise them for what they are, if they do come.

It's basically feeling like you've eaten something bad, only you can tell that it's an emotion. I guess it's like a less painful variety of heartburn, set in the area around the bellybutton.
