Perhaps you're not as extreme as you think, or perhaps I'm more extreme than most. I didn't miss movie theaters, eating out, driving, museums, malls, nothing. I have been able to stay in great shape with weights at home and biking, get more than enough socialization with my partner, and have plenty of hobbies that don't require interaction with or proximity to other people. There's a reason that my life goal is to escape into hermitude: I have zero interest in being around or seeing other humans unless they're loved ones.

Yeah, I don't care to see the people, my wife is enough for me, but I want a change and new experiences. Not even to travel, but to take some time and recover. Eat some food I don't usually eat, experience some things I haven't felt good about for the last year and a bit.
