is it just me?

Or does anyone out there feel isolated? When I left my in house job six years ago they told me you will be back and now I am thinking they are right. I really hate this lack of human contact. I am very shy and not outgoing, for gooness sake I used to hide from my nosey aunt when I was younger. My son just left for college last fall but now is back for the summer which should help. It is weird tho, I knew he was more like me in personality than my social butterfly hubby but he too kind of isolated himself like I am doing. It was hard for him to open up to new people at college so he didn't make any friends and avoided his roommate. His old friends will want to hang out and he says I don't know mom I just like to have time to myself and when I don't get some I feel stressed. Oh well.. I am probably over analyzing.... It doesn't help matters that it is softball season. My husband has coached my son until my son was overcome with feelings of being forced to play and quit his sophomore summer. He has coached my daughter from pre K till now - she's 12 yrs old and he puts so much of himself into it my kids feel a little overwhelmed and I get wierded out by it, but I don't tell him that - hate to burst his bubble. I was not involved in sports and have no concept of his thought process so I don't add much to his planning of the batting order or what not. He just called and said a couple we know who are co-coaches sat up till 11:30 last night planning their batting order - like that is suppose to impress me or something??? My hubby doesn't devote much time to us any more. 20 years this June married, at the time expecting our first child, at age 18. My hubby just switched jobs too, lots more time away from home and he reaps of human contact and eating out in fancy places, jokes on the phone 12 hours a day and here I sit and witness it all eating my leftover canned soup. Is this really how I should be living? Maybe I am premenopause, I turn 39 in August. I really need someone to listen and I as I'm afraid it will all come out wrong if I spill my guts to my hubby and I'll end up crying overcome with emotion like I usually do and then appologize blaming it all on PMS. thanks for listening.
