Help me understand below sentance

Which words do you not understand, idontknowenglish?

It has some kind of broad meaning that i am not able figure, so please me understand

Do you understand the first part?

Some people feel like they don’t deserve love, they walk away quietly into empty space.

Yes, but what does " empty space" mean?

Hi,
I know that the word "space" could be countable and uncountable depending on how it is used. Is it correct to say:

Thanks for the reply

However, I find the sentence very, very vague as it stands.
