Maybe...but there is a big difference between ignoring someone because something better is on TV (for example), and purposfully not entangling yourself in someones drama, ignoring their bad behaviour and/or disrespect toward you.

Dettach doesn't truely mean ignore, dettach to me, always meant trying to remove or protect your emotions from them and their actions.

I am dettached about the miners trapped underground. I feel bad for them, but I am not emotionally invested. I'll be happy when they get out, but I won't be dancing for joy.


I'm struggling with this! I'm trying to protect my emotions and pull a 180.
