Burnout is not just 'i dont feel like doing this' btw! It is a completely debilitating experience where the thing you dont want to do causes you to not want to do ANYTHING and usually leads to an atleast temporary depression or anxiety diagnosis. There is no way 70% of you are experiencing actual burnout and saying you are minimizes the experiences of people actually suffering from it

burnout is a pretty common thing… in 2020, a study done by Gallup reported that 76% of workers experience burnout to at least some extent. burnout also does not have direct ties to anxiety and depression, although symptoms of both can be signs of burnout. ppl who have burnout can be exhausted, but still high functioning. usually overexerting yourself leads to this paralysis of having no motivation to do basic tasks. the world is an unstable place as a whole; this seems a bit unfair to say

Yes they reported based on a self report poll just like this, thats not evidence bc not everybody knows how severe burnout actually is. Im not trying to dismiss anyone actually experiencing burnout but it is very commonly misconceived since becoming a tik tok buzz word and it absolutely IS linked to anxiety and depression. I just graduated from my psych masters with a dissertation focused around the misconstruing of mental illnesses bc of social media and burnout was a main exploration of study
