Many people who experience burnout aren’t careless, disengaged, or indifferent. They care deeply. They are often the ones others rely on. The ones who notice what’s needed before it’s said. The ones who keep showing up, even when they’re exhausted.

Burnout is often misunderstood. It’s not just being tired, unmotivated, or overworked. Many people experience burnout as something deeper and more disorienting, almost like their system has stopped responding the way it used to.
