Thinking and Isolation

Somehow, just the presence of another person invades on my thoughts and doesn't allow me total freedom in my mind. It is difficult to find anything on the internet about it. I guess, we are deeply imbedded to be aware of the presence of another human being. This presence has a big impact on our psychology. This is obvious from things people often talk about, like sitting next to an industrious person to effect your own industriousness that day. I wonder if there have been any studies on this phenomenon.

For me the problem is just a feeling of distraction. And a feeling like they are reading whatever I think and I should make sure to only think things that are acceptable to think around that person. Or maybe that's not quite it. It's just a vague distraction that stops me from getting truly lost in a line of thought; sort of outside myself. In a way, the other person's presence keeps me strapped into my seat. I'm brought back to the present reality by their presences, noises, glances etc. This break stops the uninterrupted flow of thought from reaching its unknown destinations.
