I mask at work and it's killing me

By 5pm, I'm exhausted. Masking 8+ hours (appearing focused, organized, socially smooth) leaves nothing left. I come home and can't do anything. This isn't sustainable.

Performance is costing everything.

How do you reduce masking at work without risking your job? Is it even possible in corporate India?

You're not lazy. Capacity is real, and yours has been running on overdraft for a long time.

No advice, just solidarity — you're not alone in this.
