Why burnout changes the picture
When stress, overload, or life change become too heavy, masking can become harder to maintain. Traits that were once hidden may suddenly feel obvious.
That does not mean they are new. It often means you no longer have the same capacity to suppress them.
- Social performance becomes harder to sustain
- Sensory tolerance drops sharply
- Recovery needs become much more visible
