Introversion is a broad personality trait that exists on a continuum of attitudes and behaviors. Introverts are relatively more withdrawn, retiring, reserved, quiet, and deliberate; and prefer to work independently.
Our society and even the world at large encourages extroversion and introverted personality traits are viewed through a negative lens. From primary school to friends and family to professional environments, everything seems to work better for extroverted people, while introverts have to walk those 2 extra miles to achieve the same things.
Join your host, Muskaan Sancheti, in conversion with Shreya Kapuria, about the toll isolation takes on one's mental wellbeing. Owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, a large lump sum of people worldwide have been subjected to quarantine and isolation. Even though these are crucial measures to break the chain of infection, they take an emotional toll on isolated individuals. It also becomes all the more difficult to manage existing mental health problems.
In a society which constantly focuses on the highlights and success of one’s life, glamorises hustle culture and rewards people for overworking themselves, burnout seems to be a common occurrence in the occupational sphere of one’s life.
This episode will focus on burnout syndrome, its effects on one’s mental health and ways in which one attempts to cope with it.
