A burnouter is someone who is perpetually in or cycling through burnout — not someone who burned out once and recovered, but a chronic over-committer who runs themselves into the ground repeatedly, often wearing it as an accidental badge of honor. The burnouter typically can't say no, confuses exhaustion with productivity, and only realizes they've hit the wall when the wall hits back. This person's calendar looks like a cry for help and their out-of-office reply has never been used.
Classic burnouter energy — three side projects, a full-time job, and somehow volunteering on weekends while complaining about being tired.
