Aloneness, frustration or personality issue?

I guess I have been my own boss for too many years--for ten years as a preschool teacher and six or so as an elementary teacher.  And now, I am all alone at the floral shop three days a week.  So one could say that for most of my life, I have been alone.  And I have decided, that I will refrain from situations that cause disruption in my life and seek out company that I enjoy.  There is no sense in exposing myself to so much conflict that I want to pull my hair out!  Communication is difficult because the person speaking uses words and the listener attempts to hear and understand the message.  And there are so many ways that the message can be misconstrued.  And perhaps the conversationalists will have to agree to disagree, because they both have their opinions and "never the twain shall meet." This is why I enjoy the occasional encounter where I am "on the same wavelength" with another person.   I, and the person I am speaking with, leave the conversation with  a feeling of connectedness.   Perhaps I live too much "in my head" so to speak, in the fictional world of my writing  Or maybe it is just a personality issue or frustration?  I don't know.
