The Burdens of Over-Responsibility

Women often feel pressured to take on excessive responsibility for various aspects of life, believing this will enhance their worth and happiness. This mindset leads to burnout and distraction from what truly matters, as individuals try to manage things beyond their control. Examples of this over-responsibility include feeling accountable for colleagues’ performance, household appearances, and even health standards. The endless demands contribute to a cycle of exhaustion that hinders genuine fulfillment rather than fostering it.
