Decathexis

Decathexis is when you remove feeling or caring about something. It's like when you get rid of something that was important to you and you don't care about it anymore. For example, if someone was your best friend but then they did something that made you unhappy and you decided to stop being friends with them, this could be an example of decathexis. It's like you took away all the feelings and care you had for that person so that you don't have a connection with them anymore.
