> burnout often involves pouring too much of your heart and soul into something that does not love you back. I describe burnout now as a kind of "unrequited love."

I authored this comment but can't go back to edit. Given that this sentiment appeared to resonate with HN, I just want to add that I write extensively on this theme in my book "Eating Glass." I just put the chapter titled "Burnout" up for free: https://markdjacobsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/eg-samp...
