Um... nah. Anytime I've been in burnout serious enough to need more than a few months of recovery, everything was gone. Dates, no way, friends? No friends, just work. I don't understand this perspective of 'burnout, but can still enjoy'. A defining characteristic of it in my experience is that you get stuck in very mindless, reactive pursuits like doom-scrolling or video-watching, but you're not enjoying any of it, and you can't hang out with anyone because if you did you're harping on about the way you're stuck and still trying to fix work things, or you're griping about how burnt out you feel: the topic is all-encompassing.

This correlates with the folks who are in burnout before they're reduced to total unfunctionality, because that's the part they're experiencing as they circle the drain: they're not unfunctional, but they can't go on dates or hang out with friends or enjoy anything because they're obsessed with what's happening to them, unable to let go.

I guess the reformulation of it would be, if you're very unhappy with work but you still enjoy dates and friends and other things, and you're also able to do that work effectively but you're just hating it, that's not burnout. Seems like the danger point/red flag is how stuck you are to that work. Being able to decompress with other things is a sign that you're not too stuck to the thing, and it's a good sign that will save you. Being not able to enjoy is like depression and affects all things. Struggling harder and harder with a thing to the point that you're not able to enjoy, but you can't let go and have to keep increasing the pressure… that's leaning more towards burnout or at the very least what will get you into burnout.
