The person praising your strength may still need to hear that you are tired.

Being described as strong can quietly close a door. Once people are used to your capability, the natural conversation becomes admiration rather than enquiry, and mentioning tiredness starts to feel like breaking something they depend on. Strength is not the same as having no limits, and whoever is praising it may have no idea what the last months have cost.

Tell one person the plain version this week: that you are tired, and what would actually help. You do not have to prove it or give a full account. If someone near you is praised for holding everything together, ask how they are underneath it.
