# The Armoured

Detachment stands out in your answers: going through the motions, more cynical than you want to be, pulling away from people. Numbing out is a way of protecting yourself when there's too much to feel. It works for a while, until it costs you the things you care about.

What this usually looks like

* Present in body, checked out in mind
* Shorter, more cynical than you mean to be
* Pulling away even from people you like

This is a self-reflection check, not a diagnosis. Burnout can overlap with depression, anxiety, thyroid issues, and more. If you're struggling, talk to a professional.
