Is nothing something?

I've been thinking about this and it confuses me.

Generally we refer to nothing as not being anything, but then how can there not be anything at all?


When we say 'it' is nothing, it cannot be, because 'it' must be something, so nothing must be something, defined differently.

But still, what if there really is not a thing? Is that possible? Maybe in context.

This is really confusing, whether it is something or not I can't decide.
