This is the seed of what can grow into apathy, passivity, nihilism.
I disagree. I think it's just means you're an introvert with extrovert tendencies. One sign of being an introvert is that being around people (and events, commitments, etc I would think as well), tires you out.
Obviously I don't think you should retreat into your room and never see anybody again... but I think we all need time to refresh ourselves, and not feel guilty for living up to artificial expectations of how social we should be.
I too find myself going in this direction - I can't seem to derive value from who I am rather than what I do, so I do and do and do and commit myself to things I probably shouldn't, etc. And I end up feeling overwhelmed all the time, which I think leads to my addictive behaviors, etc.
