Does anyone else feel considerable stress when they are not alone in their house?

Hello? I have a question regarding an odd thing I've noticed about myself, and, since I've been diagnosed, I do try to see if it is because of my... condition, or because that's just something humans feel, when encountering such oddities.

I am unable to feel good, or do anything productive, or feel at ease, or even do things that I like and make me feel good (such as reading or playing games) when there is someone else in the house or I feel like I'm being watched. The sensation is... quite hard to describe, it's a little bit like "The other and the look", where I feel embarassed to do unembarassing things, but I also feel... stressed, I would say stressed is the word - I feel a concrete pressure and I feel unable to concentrate or relax.

I find myself doing things I actively hate, like browsing social media, "just to waste time", even though i am conscious in the moment that that's something I do not like doing. This makes me waste considerable time and, considering I hate wasting time and only feel "happy" when I fulfill the tasks I've set myself for the day, it is quite upsetting.

I am still quite young, and therefore live with my parents still; I do have a room of my own, but -weird thing- even there, alone, the sensation persists, though less... severely... I have a couple of theories as to why this stress arises when the house is occupied (though i don't feel confident in them; if asked i'd share them) but i mostly would like to know if anyone here can relate, and if they think it might be related to this condition. Have a pleasant day.
