to be extremely tired, often emotionally or mentally · to feel drained
Ever had one of those weeks where you feel like you've run a marathon, but only mentally? 🤯 That's when you're 'worn out'! It's perfect for expressing deep fatigue, whether from physical exertion or a taxing emotional experience. Think of it as being completely emptied of energy. 🔋⬇️
💡 **Pro-Tip!** While 'worn out' often implies physical tiredness, it's super common to use it for mental or emotional exhaustion too! You can say, 'I'm worn out from dealing with all the drama' or 'My brain is completely worn out after that exam.' It shows you've truly given your all! 💪🧠
When would you most appropriately use the expression 'to be worn out'? A. 🥳 When you've just finished a vigorous workout and feel energetic. B. 😴 When you've had a very stressful week at work and feel completely exhausted. C. 🚀 When you're excited about an upcoming trip and can't sleep.
