Are there islands that are uninhabited by people that a person could survive on? I am serious, please help?

Question

I am seriously going to try and survive alone on an island by myself. I am trying to escape civilization and its comforts, and no I don't like to read, don't send me answer with "here read castaway". Please help.

Answer 1

THERE ARE SUCH ISLANDS, BUT THEY ARE UNINHABITTED FOR A REASON, GENERALLY, BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY LOW IN THE OCEAN, AND THEY GET SWAMPED IN EVERY STORM.

Answer 2

No. Someone might make a technical or temporary argument, and you may be exceptional in some way that might allow you to live in such a place.
Every inhabitable place on Earth is inhabited. People used to think that somewhere, maybe in the South Pacific, there was an island that no one had yet discovered where they could live.
A couple of simple examples shoot this theory down. One, the furthest inhabitable islands from continents are the Hawaiian Islands. They've been inhabited for thousands of years. Pitcairn is tiny, remote and thousands of miles from anywhere. It's also inhabited by about 50 inbred survivors of the Bounty and their Tahitian wives.

Don't confuse civilization (by which I think you mean industrial, modern living) with other people. You might be thinking of an island that one person could live on alone. The problem is that humans just aren't biologically put together that way. Living without others is not only dangerous to our mental health, it's just plain dangerous. Lots of species are cut out to live alone (except at breeding times) and have specialized tools and instincts that make it possible. We don't.

If you want to escape civilization, you don't have to do it alone (and you probably lack the basic skills in things like flint-knapping, fire-making, and telling poisonous plants from edible ones). We often romanticize the life of nomadic hunter-gatherers. That's because the books and movies we know don't mention intestinal parasites, broken teeth, or rickets.
What about finding a community that shares your values, or eschews those you want to avoid? I always thought that folks who want to escape industrialized society ought to try living in an Amish community as a start.

I'm no position to give advice, but I know I've felt like you seem to. More often than not, what we're running from is within us, and folllows us to that new place, new job, new relationship, whatever. Find the peaceful, quiet paradise within yourself.

Peace.

trying to escape....come to India, Himalaya, this will be the trip of ur life... we will welcome u... here are places u can stay complitely alone, but still safe. write a mail if u need help...

otherwise, there are many islands, everywhere in the world, just check the clima, plants, animals, insekts... whatever is there, before u start such adventure. do not be mad, be realistic. do not cut all the ways back... it is not nessesary.
i've lived alone for long time, in very rude and hard conditions. it is good to expirience this, but one day u'll wish someone beside u, to share... it is human nature.
