Can being a hardworking overachiever backfire on you?

Mostly I obtain everything I want through blood, sweat and tears. I've done things that people are amazed at how I can do it and telling me how smart, blah blah I am or how diligent. I take pride in never giving up and working for what I want. But something about the way that Ive been going about it all my life has me really worn down. Less time for social stuff, others around you becoming lazier because you always pick up the slack. Some goals are actually not met due to fatigue or paralysis due to imperfections.

If so what are ways to reverse the bad aspects of a normally celebrated trait.

It's probably better to be an over-achieving teacher and guide, to bring others around you along with you. If you don't, you'll be the only one you can trust to do it right...and thoroughly exhausted.,You can still achieve a lot, as the team leader, and not the only dog pulling the sled.
