Is there anything wrong with walking away from everything?

[Thunder Stormer]

The first thing I noticed is you seem very isolated already, w/out having to seek out some remote island or fortress or whatever. Even your friends are finding ways to not be around you.

This may sound harsh, but it's intended to help, truly: If you don't like society in general, and you have had poor experiences dating women in general, then the problem likely lies inside you, rather than with everyone else. So before you empty your bank account and go schlepping on camel back through the Gobi desert, here's some advice:

Sort your life out. Go see a counselor. People who were physically/mentally abused often (understandably) have problems attaining and/or keeping healthy friendships, romantic r-ships, etc. You may be attracting people who will never really emotionally connect w/you because you find it emotionally too dangerous to connect closely with others. You're probably not consciously aware of your distancing behaviors.

Also, figure out if you're happy with the degree and job you have. If not, take plenty of time to research and develop another career. I wouldn't rush into any major change.

Good luck.
