I personally would like society to be offended
Just give society social media and in a decade they will be offended by everything.

if I could just exist in a room with my things and a pet dog forever (or just the rest of my natural life) and never interact with another human being ever again, I would jump at the chance. The social contract I have been forced to participate in merely by being born -- one in which I have to pay money to live (read: live normally. yes, you can live off the land off the grid in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, this does not make it a practical solution for everyone and their grandmother), unlike every other living creature on this planet, in a world of adversarial sociopaths controlling 99.9% of said money -- I would have chosen not to sign had I had the opportunity. The juice is simply not worth the squeeze, not in this world, not for me in this life.
You've pretty much described my life. Mostly just me and my dogs. But I do still have to leave sometimes. :(
there's a reason my username is shortened from the Latin for "I want to leave". I don't necessarily want to die, I just don't want to be here anymore. Unfortunately for us both, leaving society as a whole without dying is rather difficult.
"Stop the world, I wanna get off," is one of my favorite phrases.
Lately, I've been rationalizing it as "I don't want to die, I want to WANT to live."
Still figuring out how to make it happen, but at least now I've got a catchy slogan for it

Animals live off the grid in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
Every other creature lives exactly like you described you don't want to live: off the land, off grid, in the middle of nowhere.
What you want is all the comforts of society (running potable water, sewage systems, electricity, internet, Uber eats, heating, A/C, firefighters, roads, etc) without any of the obligations.
The winderness is out there, be free!
yeah but it's almost like those comforts and services of modern society should be able to still be performed without trying to extract value for shareholders and we just choose not to because line go up make (rich) monkey brain happy. I believe there are, in fact, plenty of people willing to do the things that make the world run, completely for free, if only we did not operate on a global system that enriches shareholders, executives and politicians while paying the people doing the actual work a pittance and forcing them to struggle to survive.
And let's be very clear about what your definition of "obligations to society" is -- busting your ass creating value that is extracted from you for ~40 years for comparatively dogshit pay on the tenuous promise of retirement somewhere down the line, a promise that is actively being taken back by the upper class. Now, you work until you die unless you're very, very lucky. I don't find that a very compelling or fair deal, and if you do, would you be interested in purchasing a bridge?

I get this sentiment, but the best way to combat this feeling is to build community.
Get to know the people around you. It starts small by just ditching the headphones in public and saying hello (and maybe some small talk) every time you encounter someone. Then start offering and accepting help, plan events, and keep track of their life milestones. People will be so pleasantly surprised when you remember things about their lives.
And you will probably be surprised at how many interesting people you pass by every day while keeping your head down. Over time, some of them will begin to reciprocate. Remember, they are probably also starved for community.
Capitalism wants us isolated, sad, and reliant on their products/services. The antidote is strong community.
build community.
That sounds horrible. It’s just society with extra steps.
It’s actually fewer steps. Society is just late-stage community.
Our brains evolved for living in groups of ~30-100 people. These communities are small enough to all know and support each other through life’s inevitable struggles. A healthy society is made up of thousands of these smaller, tight-knit communities, not just millions of individuals.
Our brains are not happy alone—not for extended periods. Reducing all our social interaction to anonymous chats (like this one) and passing hundreds of nameless faces does not fulfill your social needs and will leave you feeling lonely.
It is work, and you will encounter people that suck and/or won’t reciprocate, but if you keep at it, good people will reveal themselves. I promise it’s worth it.
I’ve been told that humans need community and social contact, but when I was living in the woods for 18 months, only really interacting with my remote coworkers, and spending my time doing yard work and home improvement I was at my happiest and healthiest.
Honestly, even seeing hundreds of people a day is my idea of hell.

I sleep 18 hours a day and haven't been outside in months, save an emergency hospital visit where my DNR was ignored. I don't smoke this fentanyl on accident and these crooks keep reviving me
Of all comments ever posted, this most certainly was one of them

Eh very much offense to society though
You don't have to. You can literally just walk off into a forest. It probably won't turn out well, but you can still do it.
Sorry, that forest is owned by a corporation and you're trespassing. The angry men with guns are here to see you out.
Free room and board. Survival achieved. Still didn't turn out well, but you lived... I guess... 😢

Depending on what country you live in, you can't, actually.
My father worked for the U.S. forest service and part of his job was kicking people off of wilderness and national forest land.

Maybe I will! 🥺
I prefer interacting with my online gaming community more than my neighbors.
Cs2 solo queue is a more pleasant interaction than my neighbors
That's what parallel societies are for!
I want to keep living in society. I just want to live in a society that doesn't have the current cancer we're seeing.
Do you put the cart back? Do you use a vehicle blinker correctly? If have not you may not have ever participated to begin with.
Well they do use the toilet rather than just shit anywhere. So there's some expectations that society is gonna be there for them.

Build counter power to create our Fully Insurrectionary Luxury Queer Space Anarchist future
Fun fact, part of what we're going through in the U.S. today is being heavily driven by antisocial troglodytes in big tech companies who genuinely believe that you and everyone you love (or even remotely like) should die so they can get on with building utopia!
Idk, I'd personally like to do everything I can not to emulate them or help their goals succeed. That's just me.
I was antisocial before it was cool. they are emulating me if anything.
besides, I'm not going to be something I'm not just because some rich assholes decided to make it their whole evil plan.

Have you tried reminiscing of a void instead, which lacks any sensory input or memories, but includes full awareness, which happened to be your first ever conscious experience? Wait, that’s just me? Oh.
