After recently finding myself in a space of emotional detachment, I was moved today to really consider the effects of this state. What are the positive aspects of being emotionally detached from a person or a situation? What are the negative aspects, if any?
Emotional detachment refers to the act of disengaging from a dependent relationship with a person, thing or event. It is developing and maintaining a safe, emotional distance or boundary from someone or something that you had previously given a lot of power to affect you. It is a state of "checking out" emotionally.
In this state, you are no longer affected by the outcomes of the actions or decisions of another. You release it. You are totally unaffected.
Does this mean that you don't care? Of course not. It simply means that you care more about your healthy survival than an unhealthy existence.
Will you ever regain that emotional connection? Possibly. Only time will tell.
But until you get that answer, reconnect with yourself. Be emotionally available to yourself. Love yourself. Appreciate who you are. Be concerned about no one but you. Be present and acknowledge the beauty and perfection of you.
Live today for no one but you.
