Is it intuition or perception or?

I am not shy, I am not emotionally sensitive, but the mere physical presense of another human wears me out. It is if I have some subconscious mechanism that is switched "on" by other people just being in my space. An involuntary awareness that I can't "tune out", when activated for very long exhausts me.

I'm wondering if this is common with INTP, and would be interested in thoughts about whether this is related to intuition, perception, or just random strangeness (I have lots of that).

Thanks for any thoughts.

Perhaps introversion combined with thinking and a weak fe?

I remember last xmas at my inlaws and my wifes two brothers and their family was there and they were all talking and laughing very loud and suddenly I just couldn't take it anymore. I went downstairs to the basement so I could just be alone and watch tv. I heard my mother inlaw say "what wrong with David" and one of my wifes brothers told his mother that she was being an "enabler". In other words she was enabling my unsociable behavior my asking why I wanted to be alone. After all these year the stupid f*c%s still still don't understand that I'm just an introvert and it's normal for me to wonder off and seek solitude. I know this is a bit personal and long winded but this thread just brought this to mind and it's nice to vent to someone that at least understands what is like.
