I don't ever feel really productive when I am alone in any set amount of time. It doesn't matter what I am doing, I don't feel the satisfaction that I have done something worthwhile

Alone time is good when you've had your fill of spending time with people and you are not yet ready to return to your work.
Productivity and accomplishment without the need for one's friends to be present is found when the work you complete in your professional life means something to you. When you first look at the task at hand, and think "oh man that's big, I don't know if I can do this" and then completing that task, looking back on it and realizing, yes, yes you did.
Having enough pride in yourself to understand you're worth something, and enough humility to know that you are not the center of anyone's world but your own, and enough wisdom to know what those two things mean in relation to your friends, family, love, and work.
Thing is, I have never had my fill of spending time with people. And I am never ready to return to work.
Another thing, The work I complete in my professional life means nothing to me. Not a God damned thing. I have been trying to figure out what occupation I could work towards which would give me passion and motivation... but in all the years that I have thought about it (and I think about it a LOT), I still can't come up with anything. And it's not so much the idea that a task is "big", but more that I really don't want to work in this field or that field.
My entire life, I've always thought that being a house husband would be nice. This thought scares me. Who in the world would want a house husband? A stay-at-home dad? On the other hand, why should it be so wrong to have such feelings?
I have the pride and humility. I am not sure about the wisdom bit, though. I am a fucking Robot, after all.

Everyone wants someone to take care of them and support them, and there's nothing wrong with being a stay at home dad, but the key is getting to that point and not just surviving, but succeeding to some degree in your life until you get there
