Values misalignment: the structural contradiction between personal values and daily actions that produces chronic energy drain, psychological discomfort, and physiological stress through continuous self-regulation demands
Why This Is a Definition

It distinguishes it from mere fatigue or disengagement by identifying the underlying cognitive process.
