True and all fair points. However, I think it may also suggest that people are not powerless/helpless in their situation, even if they are stuck in a job or society that places too much pressure on some.
Personal opinion, but where I think many may begin to really suffer from burnout is when they feel like they cannot do anything to improve or change their situation, and that it is futile to even try.
If nothing else, self care is something an individual who is struggling can control in the midst of a bunch of things they cannot.
- tartoran 5y agoThe problem is that the culture kindof pushes people to extremes where they inevitably burn out. After the first burnout, which is a very scary new experience, people learn not to push to those limits, but there’s always new people to burn out. We’re lucky that the stigma of burning out is diminishing, before we’d have to suffer in silence and shame.
