I don't think releasing attachments was a choice for me this time, though i think it can be. It just happened all of a sudden. I guess I reached a breaking point with certain cycles I was in where my mind wasn't willing to go through the suffering again, so I just lost interest in those activities and desires. It was about dating but also wanting to be social or to answer messages people send me immediately, etc. I also stopped caring about being a consumer - my toxic trait is online shopping, that's how I filled my void even if I didn't buy anything. Sounds superficial but it's real.

I just didn't see the appeal in these things anymore, and I am generally a very social person. I cancelled "dates" with people and stopped wearing makeup. I think I just became comfortable with being alone and a home (with my daughter around), whereas I was uncomfortably lonely before.

Thanks for asking!
