How to use "Burdensome" in context?
There is no one word that can accurately describe the feeling of being burdened. burdensome can imply that you are carrying an excessive amount of weight, or it can simply be felt as a burden to have to deal with something unpleasant or difficult. Beyond weight or difficulty, burdensome can also describe feeling overwhelmed by something, or like you are carrying an invisible weight that is constantly pulling you down. Burdensome can be a subtle feeling, but it can be incredibly oppressive and take a significant toll on your mental and physical health.
