As a result, you become a constantly worried person with a sense of little self-worth.Take responsibility for your life and make choices based on what you want, not on expectations. Take a break and watch yourself. Face the dark sides that you try to hide, understand what you want, and set the limits.

Then write three reasons why you should do a specific work now. Keep these notes behind your eyes and take a look at them every time you need a snitch.

Burnout
