An overdoer is an individual who consistently exceeds the appropriate or necessary level of effort or intensity in performing tasks or activities. This term can be used to describe someone who habitually goes beyond the limit or extent that is considered reasonable or expected.
The overdoer may be characterized by an excessive drive or perfectionism, believing that everything they undertake must be done to an exceedingly high standard or accomplished with an extraordinary level of commitment. They often push themselves to the point of exhaustion or burnout, disregarding their own well-being in the process.
The tendency to be an overdoer can manifest across various domains of life, such as work, academics, relationships, hobbies, or even self-care routines. This individual may frequently feel the need to go above and beyond, feeling guilty or inadequate if they perceive their efforts as falling short of their own impossibly high standards.
While an overdoer's ambition and dedication may be commendable, their relentless pursuit of excellence can lead to negative consequences. Chronically overdoing can result in physical and mental health issues, strained relationships, reduced productivity, and an overall decreased quality of life.
It is important for an overdoer to recognize and manage their tendencies by setting realistic goals, practicing self-compassion, and establishing healthy boundaries. Seeking support from friends, family, or professionals can also be beneficial in building a healthier balance and preventing the adverse effects of overdoing.
