Ways I Show a Character is Emotionally Burned Out (Before They Even Realize It Themselves)

I love writing characters who think they’re fine but are actually walking emotional house fires with bad coping mechanisms.

They stop doing the things they used to love and don’t even notice. Their guitar gathers dust. Their favorite podcast becomes background noise. Their hobbies feel like homework now.

They pick the path of least resistance every time, even when it hurts them. No, they don’t want to go to that thing. No, they don’t want to talk to that person. But whatever’s easier. That’s the motto now.

They’re tired but can’t sleep. Or they sleep but wake up more tired. Classic burnout move: lying in bed with their brain racing like a toddler on espresso.

They give other people emotional advice they refuse to take themselves. “You have to set boundaries!” they say—while ignoring 8 texts from someone they should’ve cut off three emotional breakdowns ago.

They cry at something stupidly small. Like spilling soup. Or a dog in a commercial. Or losing their pen. The soup is never just soup.

They say “I’m just tired” like it’s a personality trait now. And not like… emotionally drained to the bone but afraid to admit it out loud.

They ghost people they love, not out of malice, but because even replying feels like too much. Social battery? Absolutely obliterated. Texting back feels like filing taxes.

They stop reacting to big things. Catastrophes get a blank stare. Disasters feel like “just another Tuesday.” The well of feeling is running dry.

They avoid being alone with their own thoughts. Constant noise. TV always on. Music blasting. Because silence = reckoning, and reckoning is terrifying.

They start hoping something will force them to stop. An accident. A missed deadline. Someone else finally telling them, “You need a break.” Because asking for help? Unthinkable.

i’ll start it! he’d wear those yellow elbow length rubber gloves and wash by hand. Then put them in the dishwasher. richie would bypass the first wash and go straight for the dishwasher, and eddie would go straight for his jugular ❤️

one time I read a fanfiction where eddie was upset with richie for using a dishwasher because he strongly preferred washing dishes by hand. another time I read a fanfiction where eddie was upset with richie for not using dishwashers and washing them by hand the whole time. I really hope that one day a heated discussion over whether eddie kaspbrak would prefer dishwashers or washing dishes by hand starts, a really divisive one

Pathetic little gay loser (Richie)

miniseries eddie the first babygirl to ever be documented in film

Hi besties i'm back

Just these girls from the big 90s

I love Eddie k 1990 man he's just a cutie

And of course the super famous Richie Tozier

i think 2019 richie would be too horrified to sneeze around 1990 eddie lest he topple from the change in air pressure. 1990 richie and 2019 eddie would be on the floor in a brawl. there would be biting.

Reddie Switch!
