An insatiable need to go into every thrift store you see and buy something uniquely hideous no matter how badly you wish you could just keep going.
My thrift shop masochism has intensified beyond a manageable stage since I saw Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ video masterpiece.

Get the Romantic masochism mug.**Work-masochism**, known in German as **“Arbeits-Masochismus,”** is a serious behavioral pattern in which an individual consistently exceeds healthy limits in workload, responsibilities, and performance pressure. It reflects a gradual blurring of personal boundaries, where the pursuit of productivity and dedication unintentionally shifts into a form of self-exhaustion.
The encouraging aspect is that this pattern is highly recognizable and, in most cases, reversible. Awareness is the first essential step. Setting clear boundaries, acknowledging the need for recovery periods, and valuing a balanced approach to work and rest are not signs of weakness, but expressions of professional insight and self-care.
Just as no technical system can run indefinitely at maximum capacity without maintenance, the same applies to human beings. By planning timely breaks and setting realistic expectations, energy is preserved and long-term performance remains sustainable. Striving for excellence is admirable, but preserving long-term well-being is equally vital. You should be the one determining how your efforts are distributed — not the work itself.
