Have you ever changed your number, told nobody and started your life over?

I mean genuinely. Not just getting a new number and informing everyone as normal.
I mean intentionally changing it, disappearing from people, cutting contact and starting again somewhere emotionally and socially different.

If you did, what led to that point? Did it bring peace or loneliness? Do you regret it? Did anyone ever find or contact you again?

Sometimes I wonder how many people quietly reach a point where they no longer want access to their old life, relationships, expectations or history.

I would do it in a heartbeat if I had the means.
