    Being nice to nice people doesn’t take energy at all, instead it energizes us. But being nice to not so nice people, now that takes effort, i.e. use of mental resources, which can only be sustained for so long before the battery drains out, and you need a nap.

      Different people are different. For some people mere social interaction is draining even if they are interacting with genuinely nice people.
