Burnout as a concept didn’t seem to exist until recent years, certainly as a word it only came on to my radar in my late 20’s. In the wake of millennial, multi-faceted careers, the steep rise of social media and the inevitable worship placed on busy-ness, tiredness, and juggling, so was born Burnout. In another
I don’t know which came first, me being socially awkward or the social anxiety. I have an early memory, I was maybe 6 or 7 and the girls in the class wouldn’t let me join in their game. It was a stupid role play type game called Tilly. I remember it in great detail. I
