Didn't realize how burned out I was until I stopped

Took a 2 year break from dating apps and honestly didn't realize how badly I needed it until I actually did it. It snuck up on me gradually at some point swiping just became something I did out of habit, like checking instagram except it felt worse after. I'd spend 20 minutes on hinge, match with people, start the same conversation for the hundredth time and just not care. Not in a sad way, more like completely switched off, which is a weird feeling when you're technically talking to real humans. The part that actually concerned me was when I noticed I was skipping dates in my head before they even happened. Like I'd already decided it was going to be boring before I even met the person. That's when I knew something was off because that's not really who I am. So I just deleted everything one afternoon without making a big deal out of it. No grand plan just needed it gone for a while. Two years later I'm not going to pretend I figured everything out but thinking about dating doesn't feel like a chore anymore which is honestly all I was going for. The reset was worth it just for that. Not saying apps are bad, plenty of people make them work fine. I just got to a point where they were making me worse at connecting with people instead of better which is kind of the opposite of the whole point.
