There’s a kind of burnout that doesn’t feel like exhaustion.
It feels like silence.
Not the peaceful kind, but the overloaded kind.
Like you're still online, but not present.
Like all the tabs are open, but none of them are loading.
Burnout is often portrayed as collapse: visible, dramatic, loud.
But it can also arrive quietly. Through saturation.
Through too much input, too little space to feel it.
Some words describe that state with quiet clarity.
No advice. No solutions. Just recognition.
👉 You Stayed Informed About Everything. But You Forgot How to Feel
Have you ever noticed that your empathy didn’t disappear...it just stopped having somewhere to go?
