So, my boss is an absolutely lovely person, and is the best boss I've had so far. Not to brag, but I'm also the best performer in my team, by a mile. So, while I do get my pats on the back, I'm also rewarded with more and more work. I love, atleast so far, what I do, so I didn't mind taking up more work, because I learnt a lot in the process too, and it helped my hone my craft better. Cut to now, I'm losing interest in work. Don't feel like taking up any new work, no matter how exciting the brief, or how great its potential. I feel like I'm burnt out. And majorly demotivated. What makes it worse is seeing this other member in my team chill the absolute fk out. He's hardly even given any important projects because of what a waste resource he is. I've also just been promoted. So, I'm not sure if I should share what's on my mind with my boss. My mind says I shouldn't, but my heart says it should be fine. What should I do about: 1. Telling or not telling my boss what I'm going through (because I'm scared if it'll come back to bite my later) 2. Me feeling extremely burnt out and demotivated. Drop in a joke or two, if you want, but please drop in a serious and genuine reply too.

So I might get some hate for this. I know this is weakness and the feedback I've gotten is toughen up. But I've never known how. Is there anyone else whose body and mind had accepted that they're not going to amount to anything but fought their way through it? Can you tell me your story? Or give me any book suggestions?

Well, I have been burnt out for a while now. The job is not helping either. How do you all cope with a burn out?
