Song Recs for that feeling when you want to run away from it all

I'm looking to make a playlist of songs about running away from your life because you don't trust anybody. Very specific, but I figured someone out there might know.

Has anyone ever met a real-life Underground Man? Were they tolerable as a nonfictional person? (Dostoevsky)

I've recently lost a friend (they haven't died, the friendship just ended dramatically). I've been thinking lately, he was the exact archetype of the Underground Man from Notes From Underground. He had no consistency to his moral standards and often preached what he did not follow. All the while, he did entirely random things to prove that he had free will. Frankly, the drama and him turning everything into a philosophical Thing about the meaninglessness of humanity was exhausting. It made me think, have you all ever come across a real-life Underground Man like this? Were they likable? Or was the inconsistency so captivating that you didn't care? It makes me wonder what contemporary outsiders would have thought of the Underground Man.
