People who actually practice detachment seem to be really annoying to those who don't.

Please expand your "evidently" profound thought.

I don't care what you say

Hortensia just doesn't care how you feel... she's detached ... just joking

or more seriously maybe are these thoughts..

http://conscioussolutions.com.au/attachment-versus-detachment-in-intimate-relationship/

" Non attachment in a relationship means that your personal emotions or choices are not determined by the emotions and choices of your partner. In other words your happiness is not dependant on someone else

Non attachment means being together because we want to be and not because we feel we should stay together."

It all seems to be a compilicated twist on the whole idea of relationships.

As Blondie has said about some of her quotes "just reporting ... not endorsing"

Of course, it's a lot easier "not caring" on the internet than it is in real life.

personally, I have very thin skin. What people think matters a lot to me in real life. Maybe too much...

Well, partly it's a drama playing out in the community garden. I don't really care what other people plant, or whether they pull weeds, or when they plant. I just play around with my own plot and mind my own business. The ones who are obsessed with controlling other people push and push and push to get me on their side. I just keep saying I don't really care what other people do. They are starting to feel very frustrated with me. What can I do? I really don't care. Live and let live. They keep saying I need to "contribute," which means take their side in the drama. I do contribute -- I keep my garden up, I volunteer to take care of the compost pile, I chip in when cash is needed for something. I just don't want to control anyone else. I think that as we're all adults, the fewer rules the better. We know how to behave.

My sister gets frustrated with me too. I don't get involved in family drama. They're all adults, they can figure out how they want to live without my input. Free will means having the right to make the wrong decision. Unless it affects me, I can't get worked up about it.

People around me seem to think detachment means uncaring. I think I'm minding my own business and letting people get on with their business without my interference. My sister definitely thinks my detachment means I'm uncaring.

I find life is a lot easier if I don't try to control other people, if I expect them to pull their weight but don't expect them to please me. I don't care about a lot of stuff, including possessions. Well, maybe I care about my computer to the extent that I would stab you with a fork if you try to take it.

All these folks seem to have an agenda, and they push push push to get other people in line with their agendas. I do have to say, watching it all develop is interesting, but I'm kind of tired of being considered uncaring because I'm not a control freak.
