It sounds like you're a somewhat territorial person (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a natural thing, and something that varies from person to person). And it sounds like maybe some of the people you routinely associate with don't respect your personal space, or at least assume that yours is the same size as theirs. Territoriality will increase two-fold when you're an adult-ish person surrounded by immediate family, because they can be perceived as a threat to your own space (and by extension your independence.)

I can sympathize because I have the same problem to some extent. I love talking to random people online, but tend to get worn out when socializing with a group (or even on other person) for hours--even when I like the folks I'm with. I think that the effort of maintaining a social bond while simultaneously defending your own physical, mental, and emotional space takes effort, and like all efforts it becomes exhausting after a while. So this isn't your fault, and probably not even your friends' faults, but it is something you'll want to be aware of so that you don't end up becoming irritable at them.
