Trust Fatigue and Civic Burnout: When Engagement Becomes Exhausting

Civic engagement is essential for healthy democracy, but sustained engagement takes a toll. Activists burn out. Voters become cynical. Community volunteers withdraw. Trust in institutions erodes when participation seems futile. Understanding trust fatigue and civic burnout—their causes, consequences, and remedies—helps both individuals sustain their engagement and institutions design systems that don't exhaust the citizens they need.
