I never want to leave the house of socialize, how unhealthy is this? I'm not really self concious, I just never have the desire to contact anyone or talk to anyone besides my mom and s/o. I'm scared this will affect my mental health in some way.

or socialize*
It'll be a problem if you out of a sudden feel the need for a social life. Idk, maybe you want a partner, or you want do do stuff with friends. If you never do stuff with your friends, they will stop asking after a while.
My point is, If you feel comfortable being by yourself that is fine, but keep in mind that it could be VERY hard to reintegrate IF you ever wish to do so in the future.
It's probably not bad as long as you do step outside that comfort zone once in a while. I've been a shut-in for several years, and now that I'm adult there is nobody forcing me to meet people and now I'm terrified of people and the outdoors in general.

Well it seems like opportunites for me to socialize are popping up lately and I just don't have much interest. I have a job too but it has a kind of antisocial atmosphere.

I prefer being alone too, but I have a boyfriend and a few very close friends. They all understand my need to be alone at times and respect it. You need to find a social circle like that but you also need to be willing to do the bare minimum to keep them around.
There will be a point where you will be very lonely and bored, and then it's good to know that there are people around that still have an interest in you.
