Workaholism exemplifies how cultural norms can perpetuate harmful compulsive behaviors, as individuals often derive self-worth from productivity, leading to burnout and strained relationships.
Socially acceptable habits, like excessive working or exercising, obscure recognition of behavioral compulsions, making it challenging to identify when they negatively affect well-being.
