The Burnout Hostage
(Unhinged, unmatched, and somehow still hot.)
Synopsis:
You’re not burnt out.
You’re burnt TF up.
Everything feels like too much, so you either do everything at once or absolutely nothing while guilt-scrolling in a hoodie that smells like your overbooked schedule.
You cry, you try to cancel plans but don’t, you deep-clean your fridge at midnight. You’re on edge, off balance, and running on vibes, caffeine, and self-delusion.
You’re “fine.” is your go-to statement
But also? Someone should check on you.
Your Power:
You’re everyone’s favorite “worker” because there’s not a job you won’t take on.
You’re able to multi-task like a boss.
You’re definitely dependable.
You can wear a lot of hats which makes you C.E.O. material
You manage to look good even when you’re melting on the inside.
Your Blindspot:
You glamorize chaos because calm feels suspicious.
You sabotage peace because you don’t trust it. But be forewarned, work is not the
end all be all… there’s a world outside and taking on every job is keeping you from it.
It’s time to get some balance, Babe!
