Hi, thanks, floatingbridge. You're right, stress is an indication of feeling, I suppose. I am stressed because I am not feeling any interest in my friends and family, and there is some desire to hide this from them so they won't take it the wrong way or take it too harshly on themselves. I am also stressed because my lack of interest (boredom) does not go away no matter what I do.

If I sat at home by myself I would be stressed anyway because of the persistent boredom, but going out to meet friends would be an extra stress in addition to the baseline stress, because then I'd have to put effort into masking the persistent boredom, which requires energy and deliberate planning. So in the end, staying at home exerts slightly less energy and less stress.

Kind of an annoying condition, really.

Nothing is intellectually engaging either, unfortunately.
