31, married, been working 100% remote with a 100% remote team for 5 years. My wife works outside the home but we took 2 years when she was between jobs to drive around the Western US in an RV (https://therecklesschoice.com https://therecklesschoice.com).
Overall, I never felt obligated to be social with my co-workers because they never had the same interests I did. I do tech because it pays well and allows me to work remotely, not because it is my calling. So I never really found co-workers to be the ones that I hung out with. I do other things that I enjoy more and that is where I'm social regardless of working remotely or working in an office.
One of the reasons we stopped the RV trip was because it was isolating. We had social groups outside of work and the RV trip ripped us from those groups.
