That sounds like me. I get so overwhelmed with the stress of being with people, anyone, even people who I'm closest to that I just bolt. I have to be alone to calm down. And when I say "people who I'm closest to" that's really no-one. I'm not close with anyone, not even my sisters. I can't take the pressure. So, I can be with someone or a group for a certain period of time and then I run. Some folks know and understand and accept me. They will look around and say "Where is she? Oh, she had to go."
I have BPD and a severe social phobia and I'm very much an introvert. Perhaps this person you know is suffering from some of these things too.
