True indeed
It’s mainly because whatever you do it’s never enough. Work life has made it very difficult to concentrate on personal wellbeing. Work is not not just 9-5 anymore, we always have the pressure to keep upskilling. Upon that the extreme competition makes things worse

I agree with you but not with your mentioning the gender , mens do also feel tiredness but they do not express it cause they are the ones who are gonna support his family, not saying female can’t do it but there is a backbone that is male , and also the stereotype that supress themen to share his feelings

Our generation is trying to do everything at once, we want success at a young age, thus, we hustle hard without any breaks. Taking unnecessarily long breaks are wrong, but taking mindful breaks is important.

This mental and emotional drainage is there in both men and women. Men have their own set of issues and women face their set of problems. There’s a lot of pressure on men in and around this age to prove themselves to their family, to friends sometimes and also society demands a man to be well settled with achievements during this time. Whereas women are stuck between personal dreams and other societal expectations like wedding, giving birth to a newborn, managing a family and simultaneously working for a career too. Besides, comparison with others these days is a very innate feeling, because even when one doesn’t want to compare himself or herself with others, some or other person in the surrounding/family/neighborhood or the societal build up will stimulate you to think of that and perform accordingly. Variable and fluctuating job markets, huge competition, and making a good standard of living fuels the drainage more. Also, loneliness during this time period despite presence of many people around and virtually makes a person feel isolated and that has a huge impact on mind and emotions.

It’s true… so many of us feel exhausted even before life has technically begun. We’re constantly told to do more, be more, prove more and somewhere in that race, we forget to breathe. Social media adds pressure to always appear “happy and successful,” while inside we’re silently overwhelmed. And for women, it’s double the weight — career, expectations, personal life… it never pauses. Burnout isn’t weakness. It’s a signal that we need to slow down, protect our peace, and stop treating rest like a reward.

You have no more luxury of only doing what you are supposed to do. You are always expected to do more and beyond. So you keep exhausting yourself to attain that best version of yourself and keep pushing your limits which result in a burn out.

I honestly think a big part of it is that we’re all in such a rush to “make it” to be successful, to prove ourselves that we don’t stop to think about our health. Social media doesn’t help either. You see someone your age doing way better, and suddenly you feel like you’re falling behind. It messes with your head, even if you’re doing just fine.

I feel like a large factor that contributes to burnout in our youth is the instillment of a “learned hopelessness“. We see it everywhere, in our job markets, businesses, and most importantly, in the news. It seems like corporations and media giants seem entirely too focused on feeding us negativity, knowing that it kills our hopes and ambitions for a better future, ensuring compliance and, in a way ‘spiritual‘ exhaustion.

True but not having a good health and having a family who care only abt society can effect it
