after many years of depression, I have just given up on dating, it’s not fun, it’s not rewarding (for me) and my hobbies keep me happy and fulfilled enough. If something wants to happen, I’m ready to welcome it, if not, who cares
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had difficulty finding someone. If your hobbies keep you happy and fulfilled, just make sure those hobbies don’t keep you home alone. Go to gatherings of other hobby enthusiasts, good chance that there you’ll find someone that is your perfect fit
Human connection is extremely important. You could make due without it (probably not completely though) but theres an implication it would be better if one could be successfully social.

If those hobbies keep them happy does it really matter?
My worry is that a person whose hobbies make them happy is missing out on actual happiness and mistakes distraction for happiness.

let’s say it’s more of keeping me distracted rather then happy
Oh that’s fine, it’s just that everyone wants human interaction, including op. You won’t ever get any interaction if you never meet people
