Racial battle fatigue is a term coined by professor William A. Smith that refers to the cognitive, emotional and physiological effects of being a person of color in environments that are both implicitly and explicitly racist.
Basically, it is the ways that racism has a negative effect on the psychology and physiology of people of color.
Physiological symptoms of RBF: tension headaches, backaches, elevated heartbeat, rapid breathing in anticipation of conflict, upset stomach, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, ulcers, elevated blood pressure. Psychological symptoms of RBF: constant anxiety and worrying, inability to sleep, sleep broken by haunting, conflict-specific dreams, intrusive thoughts and images, loss of self-confidence.

An increasingly common ailment across the United States, particularly with the gainfully employed.
Symptoms include the overwhelming urge to curse and yell "Really????" when reading almost any headline, or email bulletin from Human Resources.
The stress from the modern work environment may often cause suffers to consume alcohol, and or play the guitar at Volume 11.
Causes are well understood. The human brain is not hardwired to speak as the everything should be filtered through a "lawyer buffer". Those on earth that still have some sort of "Sense of Humor" find the modern work environment challenging. (Not the WORK part.....the EGGSHELLS part

When you're exhausted from Genshin Fans acting out in social media, being loud and obnoxious and their unruly actions online.
Not all genshin players are like this, it's just a weird loud minority online that freakout

The Wanderer main started throwing food around in McDonald's and screaming at the employees because they weren't given the right Deluxe McCrispy Meal, which featured a special glider or whatever. Me and many others had to wait to order because of their tantrum causing Genshin Fatigue.

A bogus criticism of Trey Lance the 49ers probably will use to keep Jimmy Garoppolo on the roster for one more season just so they can get a third-round comp pick for him in 2024.
"Trey Lance gets arm fatigue sometimes after he throws, so we'll tell people that's why we're keeping Jimmy Garoppolo as a $27 million backup when really we just love comp picks."

A largely Canadian phenomenon brought on by constantly interacting with the incompetence and laziness of jeets in the fast food and customer service industries.
I walked into that harveys to see 5 jeets and let me tell you the pajeet fatigue is real.
I applied to 27 jobs this week and I wont get a single one due to all the jeets. The pajeet fatigue is real.

The feeling of irritation that develops when one is attempting to concentrate on a task and is repeatedly interrupted by another person who is scrolling through social media and wants to share something interesting they have come across.
Hubby kept sticking his phone in my face showing me funny cat videos on Instagram this morning while I was trying to fill out this week's production build spreadsheet for work, and now I have a serious case of look fatigue.
