Disengage or detach
Hi,
Let’s say that I’m in a group interview and I’ve already done my part, so now I’m waiting for the committee to deal with the other candidates. I stop paying attention and get lost in my thoughts because I know that it no longer concerns me.
Could I use ‘disengage’ or ‘detach’?
“I know that I probably shouldn’t have done it, but I completely detached/disengaged myself from the interview the moment I knew they moved on to the other candidates.”
It’s just a hypothetical situation.
Thank you.
