In some burnout patterns, sensitivity becomes the dominant feature.
Noise, light, conversations, and stimulation may feel overwhelming.
These individuals may withdraw—not because they don’t care, but because their system needs protection.
Emotional sensitivity may also increase, leading to tears, irritability, or a desire for solitude.
Homeopathy recognizes withdrawal as a self-preserving response, not avoidance.
