I&#8217;m overwhelmed \/ overloaded.<\/h3>\n<p>Overloaded means there are too many heavy tasks on your shoulders, and overwhelmed has a bit of an emotional connotation, that you\u2019re feeling stressed and upset because of all the things you have to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-21232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man-g66e84ef96_640-110x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man-g66e84ef96_640-110x300.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man-g66e84ef96_640.jpg 234w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4.
