Talking about detachment, we all have faced this somewhere in life and more than anything the hurt it brings is unexplainable. But to be honest, in India talking about feelings, acknowledgement by family is not normalised yet, and reason for this could be anything, but I think the major one is upbringing of the last generation who were actively taught to be the best by comparing themselves to others while suppressing their emotions and they expect us to do the same, which actually is exhausting and forcing us to be detached from them.

This is such an important topic because detachment doesn’t always happen suddenly. Sometimes it happens slowly, after years of feeling misunderstood, compared, or simply unheard. People often notice that someone has changed, but rarely stop to ask what made them change. We really need to talk about this more
