tiresome
This term describes a specific kind of exhaustion that stems from irritation or tediousness rather than purely physical exertion. It captures the feeling of being drained by a repetitive stimulus or a demanding situation that tests one's patience. While it can describe a difficult task, the connotation often leans toward the psychological burden of endurance.
In social contexts, calling a person tiresome suggests they are grating or overly demanding, making the word more critical than simply saying someone is tiring. It implies a persistent quality that wears down the listener's tolerance over time.
Meanings
Causing one to feel bored or annoyed through repetition or persistence.
