If boredom were a CTB method, I would be long gone

I've been trying to figure out if my desire over the past several years to be completely isolated is indicative of mental illness? I literally don't want to interact with anyone. If I weren't raised a city boy in a huge metropolitan area and had minimal survival skills, I would try moving to a cabin in the middle of no where to see how it would make me feel.
I'm diagnosed with bipolar and social anxiety and general anxiety, so obviously I have mental illness. However, this does not feel like social anxiety to me. Because currently I have no fear of socializing I just don't want to socialize with anyone.
My late mother who CTBed (feel free to reach out if you would like perspective on how my sibling and I responded to her CTB, if it could help you learn something or otherwise help somehow), was a total recluse, so I'm thinking it's some latent gene or something? She preferred being alone too.
Humans are supposed to be social. But, I do not want to be social whatsoever at this point in my life.
Do you think by definition my desire to be completely alone is 100% my mentally illness expressing itself? My social gregerous family members refuse to accept my wishes. My eighty something year old dad is giving me dating tips for goodness sakes, and can't hear me when I tell him I want to be alone and I enjoy being alone.
Does this sound black and white mental illness or not?
Thanks.
