Joey, most of the energy is spent not on reacting to others around you, but on holding your own emotions in. It's like trying to hold a beachball underwater. The beachball represents your emotions. You can spin and wrestle and fight to keep your emotions hidden and under your unconscious waters, but it wears you out. But I know what you mean, regarding the ANS it's all about over-stimulation and the fight/flight. But also remember that TMS stems from the freeze side (the holding the emotions in, never fighting or fleeing to discharge the energy and to feel safe again).
