Is it normal to want to leave society altogether and go live in the woods?

I feel like the world around me is too shallow, for lack of better terms. Too obsessed with money, appearance, sex, and petty tribalism. You are nothing if you don't chase after or believe in any of these. Everyone knows too much and thinks too little. I want to work from my home (currently studying a profession I enjoy in and can do over the internet in order to do so), buy a gun to protect myself without having to rely on someone else and hunt all of my meat, grow all of my food (again, really into the self reliance-minimizing contact thing), move to another nation, buy a small cabin in the woods and cut almost all ties with the outside world. No relationships whatsoever. The only interesting things from today's world are music, and a few web series I watch, and even then, as long as I would have power, I could enjoy them both. Is my dream too weird? To live without any expectation, strings attached or pressure?

    I suggest you read the book "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau

    That's what he did... although he did have some friends and communicated with them (via mail as that was the medium of the day).

      Thoreau was a twat and a fake.

    I also want to do this. But I do want to be with someone I get along with really well. I don’t actually like being alone. At all.

    Somewhere in Montana, Alaska, or somewhere in bumfuck Appalachia would be good.

          I’m a honkie, babe. So white, I’m nearly translucent. And I live in VA.

          But Montana is definitely a place I’d be fine dying in. But I’m kinda torn since Maine passed a right to good act and it’s also beautiful.
