i think people misunderstand detachment sometimes. i still loved my ex when i started detaching. i just got tired of abandoning myself every time they pulled away.

Im working on detachment now too! I just keep telling myself it's his stuff .. his problems. I'm choosing to not take it personally or as a reflection of my worth. he's his own person, has free will & I can't control it. 🤷‍♀️. with the same breath.. I am my own person, have free will & I can actually control myself & how I react.

when you think about detachment, are you hoping to stop loving them completely or are you just trying to stop the constant emotional spiral around them?

No i just want to stop putting them the main in my life, is not related to the emotional but i want just to live my life without caring like them

from the day i discarded and started the no contact, i deleted all things but unfortunately i still checked their socials and i think this is my problem plus always thinking what and where they are doing.. and i hope goes well with me

i had to learn detachment the hard way after a breakup where i made someone my entire emotional world. for me it wasn’t suddenly “not caring,” it was slowly stopping myself from checking their socials, rereading texts, and building my whole mood around whether they reached out or not.

This! You need to go through all the stages of grief before you move on. Right now you’re in the denial stage.
