Signs You're Burnt Out (Not Lazy)

Society sold us hustle culture with a smile — work harder, sleep less, rest is for the weak. So when your body starts giving out, when your brain turns to static, when everything feels like wading through cement... you assume it's a personal failure. You're not working hard enough. Not disciplined enough. Not enough, period. Except that's not laziness talking. That's burnout wearing a disguise, and you've been fooled into thinking it's your fault.

This video breaks down the actual psychology of burnout versus laziness. We're talking brain fog that makes sentences invisible, emotional flatness where nothing hits anymore, guilt about resting, sleep that somehow makes you more tired, and bodies screaming through headaches and constant colds. The WHO officially classified burnout as a medical phenomenon in 2019 because your job can literally break your brain — and most of us mistake it for personal failure.

You'll learn why burnout disguises itself as laziness, how to spot the real signs before things break, and why "just push through" is exactly the wrong answer.

🔔 Stick around till the end — this isn't about motivation, it's about understanding when your brain waves the red flag. Hit SUBSCRIBE for more psychology that explains why we're all weird. At SelfWhuut, we don't just talk about burnout... we break down why your brain betrays you when you need it most. Whuut else did you expect?
