It’s getting towards the time of the year when you may feel more overwhelmed than usual. There are work projects to finish and not to mention the pressures of organising holidays or gifts. Burnout is a real possibility.

Research suggests a fourth symptom: insularity. When someone is burnt out, they tend to keep to themselves, not only socialising less, but also obtaining little pleasure from interactions.
