Can you detach yourself from Emotions?

You can.
 

There is a healthy way, and an unhealthy way.
 

If you detach from your emotions by burying them, by ignoring them, by filling your life with distractions, by suffocating them, you are really ignoring and suffocating yourself. Emotions are a form of intelligence, and diminishing them means missing out on vital information about your world.
 

If you detach from your emotions by feeling them, by being a witness to them, by giving them space, by asking yourself why, by identifying what it is that makes you feel the way you do, then you are paying attention to yourself. You are listening, and practicing not getting tangled up.

 This is hard but slowly you learn that you are not your feelings, but rather the person who feels them.
 

The first option will disconnect you, from yourself and from everyone.
 

The second option is called self-awareness, and it is vital to happiness.
