I know the exact feeling. I haven't ever met anyone who was able to relate though. It isn't like an anxiety or panic attack which I have also had. It isn't agoraphobia either. It is just like a sensitivity to others that can be uncomfortable. It is almost like invasive. Like I said, I had this so bad as a child. I would go sit in my room alone, and I would still be able to feel people moving around outside of my room, but I felt calm in my nice little bubble of space.
I'm not really sure what advice to give though. It seems to have gotten a little bit better for me, or I have gotten better at dealing with it. I can't handle going to places like bars, and I think it really does have to do with the energy although this is the first time I thought of it that way. I don't think there is anything I can/should do about it except learn from it and deal with it. I don't really want to close off the part of me that is sensitive to others. I think that is a great gift to have a lot of the time. Sorry if I was no help
