I don't think pulling away is unusual when we feel "done." I feel done a lot of the time, especially since I've been in my 50's. And pulling away is my instinctive reaction and frankly, it feels better to me. I don't tend to pull away from online interaction, but having talking, moving people in my presence can be grating.
What do I do...I make a conscious decision not to dwell on feeling done. I just notice it: Hm, yeah, there it is again; I feel done. Well, the floor needs to be mopped, then I'll lie on my bed, turn some music on, and do some reading. I'll be sure to practice at least 5 minutes of mindful breathing, even though I don't particularly want to, or not want to; it's just something I need to do.
By then it'll be early evening and my husband will be here, I'll spend a couple of hours visiting with him, he'll leave (we don't live together). And then the night will be here and I'll look out my window and see the beautiful moon. I'll be glad I'm alone with my cats, and I'll relax, read some more, and sleep.
That's about it.
