Something I observed in community building is people being "overengaged". It maybe sounds a bit strange, but I saw many people being fully engaged on something giving all the energy they have, but then getting frustrated because things didn't pan out like they wished and as fast as they imagened. then they were exhausted, overwhelmed and completely gave up.
