I think this detaching thing works better if you can say 'how would I treat a distant acquaintance in this situation' and then just do that. You wouldn't specifically text that person a picture of your car, but if they specifically asked to see it it isn't like you would point blank refuse either, even though the request might strike you as a bit intrusive.
I'm glad you made the most of your time alone. I need to book in some time with friends this week too. Full of kid related half term GAL, but I didn't see anyone last week - which was lovely - and am in need of some social catching up time with people!
