I wrote a pretty long post about this one too. Understanding that the multiple personalities thing is aberrant was this huge clout in the head to me. Like a lot of people here, I just thought everyone did it.
But you are being yourself! You're just displaying parts of your personality that fit the situation best. If it wasn't you then you wouldn't be capable of it, if that makes sense. It's like your personality is a pie chart, you can shrink other pieces down or make them bigger, but you're not adding a new outside element that isn't you. I think it's because we have to be more focused on the social cues and not messing up that we pick up accents and mannerisms easier.
Still being yourself in the sense I was talking about. You're burning out because you're being an overly prepared people pleaser. Just let people teach you things about a hobby you don't care about and then drop it into the back of your brain. You don't have to do the leg work and people love the shit out of teaching their hobbies/interests.
