Loneliness Is a Warning Sign to Be Social

Why isn't spending time with your wife exhausting? Is it because you can "be yourself" around your wife?

If so, maybe you should try just being yourself around other people too.

My guess would be that the exhaustion the commenter describes comes from the (perceived, and probably accurately so) need to follow certain social norms when in certain social situations. Such social norms wouldn't exist while spending time with one's wife.

What kind of commonly activated social norms are we talking about where you can get away without them around your spouse but not other people?

Perhaps it's time to add some more fiber to your diet, or research silent farting techniques.
