This is kind of risible. No, it does not sound "unhealthy" to express a desire to spend time around colleagues as part of the work day. I can hardly imagine a more natural or healthy desire.

Frankly, that says more about you than OP.

Well I agree with him. I strongly prefer in person work and find working from home depressing.

When someone implies it’s a character flaw or because you don’t have a social life it’s offensive. My life is fine outside of work.

It is fine to want to spend time with your coworkers. However, it is unhealthy if not seeing you co-workers make you depressed and anxious.

I think, in fact, "not being around other people makes lots of healthy, ordinary people feel depressed and anxious" is just about as robust a finding in human psychology as you're likely to find.

Agreed. But if the only people you are around and depend on for your mental health is your coworkers, that is unhealthy. There should be other relationships in your life that are meeting your social needs outside of work. If that is not the case, it is unhealthy.
