What is Detached?

You're present physically but feel emotionally or mentally disconnected from the work and the people around you. It can be difficult to fully engage or invest right now. Checking in with yourself about what's underneath this state can be a helpful starting point.

Detached is a specific form of withdrawn, which itself is a type of low. You might experience this feeling in situations where low is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define detached.
