I have heard this similar spoon story before when I was on NZ but the premise was on how people/ a person change from being active e.g. chatty in social gatherings down to 0 activity at all the following day or within the day. By then, I always count my spoons to be self-aware in my social activity and be extra patient to people in most cases. I know there can be a lot more of dynamics factoring to our behaviors but your post gave me a a trip down to memory lane (happy ones mostly).

Love to read more of your post! Keep it up.
