"story_excerpt": "Has anyone else hit a point after 7+ years abroad where they just… lost emotional attachment to the place and maybe even to life structure itself?\n I feel strange because objectively I’ve experienced a lot in Germany: jobs, relationships, different apartments, different versions of myself. I gained things, lost things, rebuilt multiple times. And now it feels like I’m emotionally detached from almost everything.\n I recently got a new job, which should feel exciting, but instead I just feel tired thinking about doing the same cycle again like a machine. Work, survive, repeat. I’m not even deeply sad every day more like numb and directionless.\n What scares me most is not failure, but slowly losing interest in life itself. Not in a suicidal way, more like losing curiosity, attachment, excitem",
