Why are some people ashamed to call in sick?

"Shame of taking leave" is a social and psychological phenomenon, which usually refers to the sense of shame and self-blame when taking leave due to illness or other reasons at work or study. This phenomenon is mainly due to the existence of a cultural atmosphere in society, that is, too much emphasis on work or study and high praise for diligence and dedication, which leads some people to have negative emotions and attitudes towards leave. Specific reasons may include:

The influence of public opinion. Media and social reports and comments on the topic of "asking for leave" may exert a subtle influence on people, resulting in pressure from public opinion, making asking for leave regarded as "irresponsible" or "not trying hard".

2. Expect too much of yourself. Some people often demand too much from their work or study, thinking that they should always be in an efficient state of work or study, so taking time off will make them feel guilty.

3. Expect too much from others. Some people may expect too much from their colleagues or classmates' work or study performance, and think that they should always be in an efficient state of work or study, so taking time off will make them feel disappointed and dissatisfied.

In a word, the phenomenon of "leaving shame" is related to social culture, education, personal psychology and many other factors. In order to change this phenomenon, we need to pay more attention to health and life balance, and at the same time, we need to reduce the excessive emphasis on efficient work or study, so that people can face the problem of leave more naturally.
