Okay but what about social battery whump, hear me out.
Whumpee is perhaps an espionage agent, or a captive pet, or a hostage, or some other scenario–
they’re forced into a situation where they have to act and act and act, and smile and smile and smile without giving any hint that they’re tired, or upset, or stressed, or in danger, and they have to do it for so long.
They have to smile, and shake hands and make small talk, and laugh and act like a human being while they’re coming apart internally, and if they mess up and falter for a second, if they show cracks in their facade then bad case they’re caught, and worse case whumper will be very, very upset with them.
On the surface it looks like they’re having a blast. They’re completely dying inside.
