Is there any psychology profile for this type of thinking?
This doesn't mean desire to do something crazy like Ted Kaczynski; just want to be free from government regulations, police watching you, neighbors expecting you to behave a certain way, etc.
Living by yourself in an isolated location effectively avoids the government. Take care not to fall ill or get injured, and if you do, do not call on the government to bail you out.
Don't want an island? Check on Slab City, CA...
I read that there people live off the grid and police themselve if any real policing is needed. It's pretty much Anarchy, as I understand it.

It might be a reaction against where you live now.
No-one bothers us in north Maine.

I don’t know if there’s a psychological profile, but I think in reality you’d want to have some civilization around. All I have to do is watch Tom Hanks knock out his own infected tooth in Cast Away to know that I would hate living alone and isolated, and I’m a very solitary person.
There are still plenty of places in this country will you can go and not be too bothered by people. Places like Idaho, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, you could never come in contact with a person again if you don’t want to. Of course the weather is brutal in winter which explains why there’s still so few people out in those places LOL.
Of course they’re still going to be government regulations, but I can’t imagine that they ‘d interfere with you much by yourself, and it’s very easy to not have neighbors around you too. It’s actually easy to live isolated from neighbors and many many many places probably every state in the union has places where you can get away from people altogether.

It's a nice fantasy. But there's nowhere to run any more. Time to find like minded people to fight the surveillance state. It's a fairly small minority, but more people are waking up.

Read the story of Alexander Selkirk, who was the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe. There are many sources, so I won't pick one.
Selkirk voluntarily marooned himself on an island, and survived From Sep 1704 to Feb, 1709. I have a first person account of his rescue, and according to the captain who rescued him, Selkirk could not have cared less if no one ever rescued him. But he could no longer make himself understood, having not spoken to another human in years. He is described as being so "fleet of foot" that he could catch any goat on his island, and some of the dogs had trouble keeping pace.
Selkirk had lamed some of the native goats so that if he were sick or injured he could still catch one. His island, San Fernando, had some sort of wild berry growing that provided nourishment an water was plentiful.
Some sources say he disappeared into history, but others have him dying in a yellow fever epidemic.
I no longer sail, but I was a sailor of various sorts before I got married at the age of 45 and retired when I was 66.
Today, I satisfy my wanderlust cravings by venturing alone in my old pickup. My next trip is to uninhabited and undeveloped Cape Lookout National Seashore, where I will camp alone for a night or two.
