Getting fed up too quickly and too often is a common recipe for burnout. And the outcome could be a vicious circle leading to constant discomfort in life. Read these 54 fed up quotes to explore more.

As life gets busier and busier, you tend to get easily fed up running around, doing things that demand more than just your time and energy. Feeling swamped, easily exhausted, and empty all of a sudden are red flags mental burnout has taken root.

Sometimes it's the physical weakness that takes a toll. Other times, it's about people trying to define what you should and shouldn't be doing. And then comes the point where you might feel you've had enough and are done, and think of giving up what you were holding on to because you are fed up.

Mental burnout can drain your energy and pull you back from climbing up the social ladder, and being fed up chronically could be one of those warning signs that need immediate attention, particularly if it recurs and keeps you from being productive.

Although burnout isn't medically diagnosed, it could lead to various problems and distress, especially if you are fed up too often. If you want to explore more about coping with burnout and breaking the shell of mental exhaustion, then read these 54 fed up quotes.

Then, after a bit of on-their-own strategy, they ping back to be close to you. So in conclusion on the boy front, you have to play hard to get and also let them be elastic bands." — Louise Rennison
