    In my case they didn’t disable the option to use any authenticator for 2FA.

    So I just use another one.

    I don’t see why forcing MS Authenticator will be better than any other authenticator.

    The person who forces it is for sure not a security expert.

    It will be easier to hackers to hack 2FA when they know what the authenticator app is, versus hundreds of different authenticator clients.

    They do things because they must, and do them quick so they can continue to do the next thing they must do.

    While they do these things, they don’t seem to enjoy the moment doing it, it’s like a robot doing something because it must.

    Most of them has so many things they must do that they don’t have enough time sleeping, and that cycle just gets worse and worse.

    And it doesn’t stop; they get old, they become unhealthy, but they must continue to keep up, because they pressure themselves to do so, or others do it or manipulate them to feel that.

    They fake or ignore how they really feel, just to adjust to the environment, and actually they don’t really know what they feel, only what they must do.

    That’s surviving in my opinion.

    I’ll give my humble opinion here, I’m not a professional of course.

    DISCLAIMER: This is just an opinion, from an anonymous random person from the internet. I’m not a professional, and I don’t know you. However, if you can’t handle it yourself, I do suggest to try to do it with a professional.

    What you feel is not loneliness, but the real feel of freedom. You tag it as loneliness because you have never felt it before, and (I guess) nobody around you can acknowledge that because they are attached to social norms, meaning they are not necessarily free as they want to.

    Breaking from social norms create a sudden big space in your life, where one can call it freedom, and one can call it loneliness.

    It’s up to you what you feel this space with, and how you look at it. And it’s only you who can acknowledge it, nobody else.

    Generally I wouldn’t recommend breaking entirely, but to balance it in a healthy manner, e.g set the limits that you (and only you) genuinely feel good with.

    In my case, I quit using Facebook and Instagram in the past years, and naturally, things that are genuinely fit me started to sink in and fill it.

    In the context of connecting to others, when you live your live genuinely, the people that will fit it the most, will come to your life naturally.

    It’s tricky to do it today because we have a lot of channels that manipulate our social norms (e.g. social media, people around us, tv, e.g.).

    Enjoy your freedom and genuineness mate.
