Being a workaholic is not really a salubrious phenomenon. Working too much leaves you feeling guilty of not being able to give in your best to a relationship, just like Harry Potter star Emma Watson who feels that she makes for a "rubbish girlfriend” for she is almost always occupied with work. Also, the young actor concedes that she has no time for relationships because of her frantic work schedule.

"It’s rubbish being my boyfriend. People are constantly coming up to me, I’m always working,” Emma was quoted as saying. "I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment. It feels good, actually. It’s nice to be selfish,” stated the 20-year-old.

Such a burnout symptom is often faced by people in their everyday life, particularly in young professionals. Psychologist Dr Seema Hingoranny explains, "When you achieve success at a young stage you don’t know how to handle it. You tend to further your benchmarks of success, become your own competition and end up overworking.”

A suave relationship is a big motivating factor. "There had been times when I felt I’m ignoring my dear ones because of work; it is a terrible feeling of guilt and anguish which no amount of professional success can compensate for,” says TV actor Rashmi Desai who agrees that at the end, communication is the key for any relationship to thrive.

TV actor Shraddha Nigam agrees. "It’s essential for me to find a balance and wholeheartedly give myself to the thing or person concerned without any feelings of guilt or regret,” says Shraddha. "I believe in prioritising things to a great extent,” she adds.

Ravenously chasing success, being over-ambitious or working beyond your capacity doesn’t always work for your advantage, at least not in personal relationships. "Sit back, heave a sigh of relief, contemplate and set your priorities right,” suggests Dr. Seema.
