I think even NTs can get burnout if they're under enough pressure or stress in their lives, but people like us might be more likely to get burnout from, for example, doing a typical 9-5 work day. It would be in my case.
I'm not sure if I get burnout or not, or if burnout is different for everyone. With me burnout affects my executive functioning and makes me feel "oh my God I really can't be bothered" and I get brain fog and lethargy. I also find it hard to motivate myself to get up in the morning.
But burnout doesn't affect me socially. In fact when I get burnout I just want to sit around and talk rather than do any work. I can also get easily depressed and anxious. I know this will happen if I ever had to work full-time.
Does this sound like burnout? Or does burnout mean withdrawal? I don't really withdrawal, I just get lazy and everything becomes an effort, but it's not intentional.
I do worry about what will become of me if I ever have to work full-time. I feel like being stuck at work 8-10 hours a day with only one or two days off each week and only 3-4 weeks off a year will be too much for me and I will have burnout. I mean, doing the same thing every day just panics me. NTs are so lucky they can shrug it off as "well I have to do the same routine day after day, week after week, year after year, to pay the bills". That logic won't stop me from getting burnout.
