Good people, when you are burned out, do you get quieter or more irritable? I notice I stop replying to messages and avoid conversations. Curious how burnout shows up for other people.

Both. I don't want to engage (quieter) but if forced to engage, I will not be happy about it (irritable).

I see!

Depends on my project/role. If I am accountable for a team I put up with no BS and react bigger when my team is disrespected and have an anxious approach - question everything. If I’m in an IC role I get quieter, anxious about the amount of work I’m doing and never feel like I’m doing a good job and tend to have a freeze response.

Quieter at work, more irritable to my close friends.

Anyway, I see it's different for everyone...

More irritable - and short and confrontational. Unfortunately. I tend to be someone who allows things to slide to keep peace and harmony - because it’s about getting the work done. So when it becomes obvious that I’m being taken advantage of, I can snap back. It’s always taken people by surprise because they’re used to a different side of me.

Quieter and I seek out trusted friends to vent, then I start writing songs…

You're a musician or aspiring/ or ( just like music) ?

Both. I try to self isolate to recover. I also get irritable and angry when self isolation doesn’t work, which it never does.

But from what most people say here, it seems most people end up with the combo!

Quieter but louder to those very close I can't avoid

Incredible! Why louder to those close to you though?

Quieter. I don't have any close friends, so I keep it to myself.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value.

What is your opinion on this topic?
