I would go and tell on you for using aborteddreams image, but they probably already live off the grid in a cabin in the woods.
welcome to the group!
stay over there...
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.
Sure. They also leave bottles of piss in the parking lot since its too much trouble to throw them away.
I pretty much did. I live full time in a rv on blm land and national forests. I go 2 weeks at a time without ever interacting with another human(usually). I can get flour, sugar, and lard at self checkout but I'm forced to talk to a human to buy ammo.
How do you get money for stuff?
Savings. I've lived pretty frugally my entire life so it doesn't take me much to live, as you might deduct from my shopping list.
Ah, that's cool that you're able to save enough to do what you want to do (Assuming you're happy with your situation).
black lives matter stealing land from honest working Americans now!?
/s
part of me thinks when doge looted the coffers for the bureau of land management they specifically only referred to it as BLM so that the dum dums actually thought what I said above.
I prefer interacting with my online gaming community more than my neighbors.
I personally would like society to be offended
Just give society social media and in a decade they will be offended by everything.
Wow, rude.
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.
Animals live off the grid in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
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
You can, unless your teeth or something else becomes a health problem you can't fix.
That really is the most important thing stopping me even if there's but a small chance this will happen.
It's a game of luck, you could live to 90 if you go to a fertile area without extreme conditions.
I'm sure there's plenty of those people out there.
You obviously won't hear them or of them.
And you can get a disease while in society and still die because there is no cure.
You can, unless your teeth or something else becomes a health problem you can’t fix.
✨ they already are ✨
2030 could be when a new teeth regrowing medicine comes on the market, have been following this for a few years now.
they should last you for a lifetime
If this is true, why are you here on lemmy, leaving comments and interacting with society?
to add to what @Kaerkob@lemmy.world said: because here, I get to decide exactly how much interacting with people I'm willing to engage in and have multiple ways of controlling who I do so with (blocking certain instances so I don't see their posts, blocking smartassed trolls, etc.)
I want to leave just like volore. However I don't want to die and I don't want to hurt those I love by dying. I read and post as a distraction from all of this ridiculousness that I cannot change.
Another one who thinks he's going to die without society?!
That's me your honor. (⌐■_■)
My point being - the fact that you are posting on here, a social media site, filled with people, is proof positive that you do not actually want to live a completely isolated life.
If you actually wanted a life without people, you would also be giving up pretty much everything on the internet, as well as all books, movies, tv, and music, as these are also forms of interacting with people.
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.
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.
Even in the US the majority of forests are owned by the government and accessible to people. In Europe you can roam even in private forests (right to roam). Otherwise, Canada, Alaska or Siberia are big enough that no one will ever find you.
Free room and board. Survival achieved. Still didn't turn out well, but you lived... I guess... 😢
Maybe I will! 🥺
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.
At this point, they can have it. They just have to figure out how to upload my consciousness to a computer, load that computer into a von Neumann probe, and fire me off into space. Yes I like the Bobivers series. I'd kick back a few rocks to mine on my way out to pay my way, then take off and start exploring.
In the realm of possibility just give me $10 million so I can invest it and live off the dividends. I'll build a nice three bedroom house and keep to myself and just work on things that actually interest me instead of working to survive. They can have their hellscape utopia, I just want to be left alone.
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.
Sadly their version of utopia an underground vault with workers to do all the dirty nasty work while they live in luxury and complain about anything that bothers them.
I mean at this point fall out is looking to be a documentary from the future.
There's a massive, massive difference between introversion and antisocial personality. One can be a shut in and not be anti-social. One cannot be antisocial and function as a healthy member of society, and like it or not we need society

Society doesn't care.
Everyday when you're walking down the street And everybody that you meet Has an original point of view
And I say HEY! (HEY!) What a wonderful kind of day. If you can learn to work and play And get along with each other
You got to listen to your heart Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street Open up your eyes Open up your ears Get together and make things better By working together!
It's a simple message and it comes from the heart Believe in yourself (in yourself) cause that's the place to start (to start)
And I say HEY! (HEY!) What a wonderful kind of day If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other. Hey what a wonderful kind of day hey! Hey what a wonderful kind of day hey!
