Original video: • 6 Signs You’re Burnt Out, Not Lazy Ironically, burnout comes to the strongest of people. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that results from prolonged and excessive stress. It is a type of psychological and physical strain that can occur when individuals experience chronic and overwhelming stress in their work, personal, or social life. People who experience burnout often feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and drained. They may become cynical and disengaged from their work, lose motivation, and experience a decline in their productivity and performance. Burnout can also lead to physical symptoms, such as headaches, muscle pain, and insomnia, as well as psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. Burnout is not a medical condition but is considered a syndrome that is influenced by a variety of factors, such as job demands, lack of support, and personal characteristics. It can affect people from all walks of life, including professionals, caregivers, students, and parents. If left untreated, burnout can have serious consequences on a person's health and well-being. Laziness is a lack of motivation or unwillingness to engage in activities or work that requires effort or energy. It is a state of being idle, inactive, or unwilling to exert oneself, despite the potential benefits of doing so. People who are described as lazy may avoid responsibilities, procrastinate, and find excuses to avoid doing work or tasks that they consider to be challenging or uninteresting. They may also lack self-discipline and find it difficult to follow through on commitments or achieve goals. Like in this video, Psych2Go says that Laziness is a personality trait, but it's not true. Here's an explanation of the big five. The Big Five personality traits, also known as the Five-Factor Model, are a widely accepted framework for understanding personality. They are: Openness to Experience: Reflects an individual's willingness to explore new ideas, experiences, and ways of thinking. People who score high on this trait are imaginative, creative, and open-minded. Conscientiousness: Reflects an individual's level of organization, responsibility, and self-discipline. People who score high on this trait are dependable, efficient, and goal-oriented. Extraversion: Reflects an individual's sociability, assertiveness, and preference for stimulation. People who score high on this trait are outgoing, talkative, and enjoy being around others. Agreeableness: Reflects an individual's tendency to be cooperative, compassionate, and empathetic towards others. People who score high on this trait are friendly, considerate, and value harmony in relationships. Neuroticism: Reflects an individual's tendency to experience negative emotions, such as anxiety, depression, and vulnerability to stress. People who score high on this trait are often moody, anxious, and easily stressed. As you can see, laziness is not one of them. Laziness can be a temporary state caused by boredom or fatigue, but it can also be a chronic habit that affects a person's productivity, achievement, and overall quality of life. However, it is important to note that laziness is not a medical condition and is often a subjective judgment made by others. #psychological #depression #resilience #mrsimple
