Workaholism

Workaholism is an uncontrollable need to work excessively, often at the expense of personal health and relationships. It’s driven by a desire for achievement or fear of failure, rather than just dedication. Unlike healthy commitment, workaholism can lead to stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. People with this tendency may struggle to relax or disconnect from work, often feeling guilty or anxious when not working. Recognizing workaholism is important to maintaining a balanced life, as excessive work can negatively impact overall well-being and relationships.
