You seem like are describing dissociation/numbing out as a result of a stressful situation - your brain goes into fight or flight mode, is scared, and shuts down a lot of your processing. The fact that it happens when more people are present is likely tied to a over-sensory issue or a trauma.

It is often a symptom or sign of one of the following: C-PTSD, autism or ADHD (which are often comorbid so harder to tell which the symptom is tied to).
