There is much fear I'll continue to become more detached from those around me.

I can address this one. It's something I, too, have struggled with.

Detachment is a good thing. Generally speaking, the sense of significant detachment (if you get it at all) doesn't last that long, and even when it's upon you, it's not like you hate them or have no regard for them. It's just a matter of being not directly and/or immediately emotionally and mentally affected by interacting with them, because your focus is somewhere other than the dreamstate that is material reality. It's just a change in perspective, and it's a broader one which still includes other people, but is bigger and more expansive.

I know there is probably going to be alot of things I never wanted to see or know about.

That's not really a helpful attitude. If you believe that, it's what's likely to happen.

Also, what you seem to be defending is denial, or ignorance. While it's everyone's right to choose that, think hard about whether or not living in ignorance/denial (when you have an opportunity to expand your awareness) is really want you want. It may be, and that's okay. But I suspect you want more than that.

Could this....over complicate things?

It depends on what you mean by "complicate". If you mean "change", then, yes, it will probably generate change. How much is impossible to say. Change is good. Without it, we become stagnant and complacent.

It's a point of no return, isn't it?

Not necessarily. It's true that once something is changed, it usually doesn't go back to the way it was before, but in almost all cases, the new state is found to be the preferred state. I would never, for any reason or circumstance, go backward. Yeah, my perspectives are wildly different than they once were, and maybe my life was "simpler" when I was more ignorant and more closed and less aware, but it certainly wasn't happier or better.

So that's my perspective, anyway.
