burntout is the feeling you get after you are high. Its basically just being really tired and out of energy.
there is pauls defintion of being burnt out and then there is a "burn out" which is a personw ho has just exausted their body so much that they are just out of it constantly, think jim brewer from half baked
Burnout can be when you have been high or otherwise fuckedup for an extended period of time (like a week) and now no longer are. You feel all "burnt out" all you want to do is sleep for about three days, then you go spend a day eating all the while thinking "man I'll never do that again". A person can be a "burnout". This is someone who has ruined their brain with drugs. They have no inititive (sp?) left, all they do is sit around and mooch, they usually can't have a meaningful coversation. Burnouts don't have a job, or if they do they won't keep it for very long. Burnouts are emotionally bland, at least outwardly. If you feel like this it does not mean that you are a burnout, you might just be sad and bored right now. We all feel like crap now and again, and we all get temporary burnout too. A genuine burnout is a generally a burnout for good (though recovery is possible). Having fried your brain with too much drugs is also necesary to be a burnout.
School makes me burnout. I am glad I am out. I feel really tired today but its because I havnt been getting my full 10 hours of sleep due to the fact im use to waking up and going to school, it will change with time. The come down off a weed high makes me feel tired, but the next day I always feel really good unless im just baked constantly for like a few days in a row. Then I feel tired alot, but I still sleep better, haha.
