Why You’re Experiencing Zoom Fatigue
It’s hard to speak up
In an IRL meeting, people can tell when you want to speak. For the most part. You’re usually seated around a circular table or at least one that allows everyone to get a good look at everyone else. People can tell just from a shift in your posture that you have something to say. On a Zoom call, it’s very hard to tell when anyone wants to speak, so you have to force your way into the conversation, which is exhausting. Especially for women who already feel they must do this in real life.
