No, you can't legally be forced to participate in society. I would argue that the current laws make it very difficult to opt out of society and retain a high quality of life though.

legally be forced
Another term that is ambiguous. How can you be "forced" by a law (aka contract) that you never consent it?

That's easy. Someone with a bigger stick than you decides what the law is, and if you break it, they hit you with that stick. Whoever has the biggest stick makes the laws.
You can certainly argue about the morality of how laws are created and enforced, but i wouldn't argue too much with the guy holding the stick 😉
