What is Removed?
There is a gap between you and this person that feels hard to close. Being removed can happen gradually without either party noticing until the distance is significant. Reconnecting often requires naming the gap honestly rather than pretending it is not there.
When you might feel removed
Removed is a specific form of disconnected, which itself is a type of distant. You might experience this feeling in situations where distant is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define removed.
