Adult life often requires individuals to wear a false front, leading to emotional exhaustion or burnout. A study from Universität Innsbruck explores how this emotional labor can be managed to promote authenticity and fulfillment. When workers must maintain a friendly demeanor despite internal feelings, they face psychological strain. This conflict between authentic emotions and imposed social expectations can lead to burnout. However, the research suggests that adapting in healthy ways can mitigate these negative effects, supporting the importance of expressing oneâs true self in various situations.
As much as people wish to express their authentic selves, adult life often demands exactly the opposite... Life is full of routines and obligations, but worse, situations in which you have to put on a false front.
A new study examines the emotional labor at work... When these feelings are in conflict with how youâre expected to act, thatâs when problems can arise.
...adapting to situations in healthy ways can help keep burnout at bay and allow your fulfillment to thrive.
Emotional exhaustion, or burnout, is a common result of having to put on a false front to others.
