The specific context is going to be a bitch to find, since it's from his private notebooks.

My interpretation is that he's referring to the habit of over thinking normal social situations. Instead of relaxing and doing what comes naturally, you might be consciously reminding yourself to act normal, smile at appropriate times, nod, and maintain appropriate body language. Naturally this takes a lot of energy, which is why introverted people tend to feel exhausted after a lot of socializing.
