Obviously you use language and communication skills every day and probably some forms of critical thinking. But the specific skills you might use in social contexts obviously are different than being at home all the time by yourself. Even then, you can be home and enter social contexts through various means, but obviously socializing irl is going to have its own nuance.
there is no evidence for any form of atrophy or hard declines, healthy people seem to keep primitives of every skill they've learned and seem to re-learn after a pause much quicker than someone learning it for the first time.
