Question to all my “detached” people out there. I’m going to try to fake it till I make it. With every text he sends, I will start to think to myself, if I were detached from him, how would I respond to this.

My answers keep coming up similar to if I didn’t care or was indifferent. Same with treating him like a cashier. I would probably be nice and say things like “no problem” or “maybe next time”, things like that bc I wouldn’t really be worried about it. I’m starting to think to just stick with responses like “ok” unless given a yes or no question like Steve says.

Since he is not speaking to me in person now, our only interaction opportunities are via his texts. So I would like to be certain I am getting those right and DBing bc that is our main way of communication
