My worry is that a person whose hobbies make them happy is missing out on actual happiness and mistakes distraction for happiness.

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.

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
