It's similar for me and I still get exposed to people in the non-work part of my life, quite a lot actually, I just don't get two crammed train cars full of people twice a day anymore. I'm not as healthy as during quarantine, but I'm mildly sick-ish right now and I used to get knocked out for a week or so around this time before wfh almost every year and be a lot sicker otherwise, so whatever I'm being exposed to right now my immune system seems to be able to handle. I had a few infections in spring and summer when everyone here finally came out of quarantine, so I guess the post-isolation shock is already behind me.
Besides, if "normal society" means miserable unpaid commutes and cold offices with bad cafeteria food and a lot less time and energy for the things in life that really matter, then I'm quite happy to miss out on that. I'm not living in some kind of self-imposed total isolation, if anything I'm more active outside work these days, and my whole life feels a lot healthier (and that sure helps too)
