The time I went to Iceland, right out of boot camp, over 2,000 miles away from home, and didn't know a single soul. It was December 22, I'd never been out of the country or away from home for Christmas. And to top it off, in Iceland that time of year there is around 22 hours of darkness, and I was usually asleep during the 2 hours of light. I felt like I had fallen into a pit and couldn't get out.

Yes, I do. I had jumped from an Air Force C-130 cargo plane during my stint with the 101st Airborne. The winds were high and I was blown into some trees off the DZ. I was knocked unconscious for what I believe was about 10 minutes. I was still hanging in the tree and was temporarily unable to get down because of a back injury. No one was around and I hung there for an hour or more. I tried not to sleep although my brain wanted me to (I found out later I had a concussion) so I finally cut through my tangled mess and dropped about 15 feet to the ground, twisting my ankle. Unable to walk normally, I hopped from tree to tree, found a thick stick, and made my way towards the DZ. I was subsequently found when people were sent looking for me when I failed to show up for a formation.

Yes.
I was under the age of two, walking on my parents' soft blue chair inside their first apartment. It was dark but there was some light, and I was staring at the front door, waiting for my parents to come home. I sat quietly on the chair and waited for a long time, probably falling asleep after wandering around looking out their sliding door and their balcony and the stars and the sky, touching the heavy velvety feeling curtains that smelled funny. I looked everywhere in the living room for them and sat on the chair again to wait. That's all I remember.
When I asked Mom about it years later, she says I must have woken up when she and Dad were asleep and wandered into the living room looking for them after hearing one of them wake up and go out the door. If someone had told me to wait in the chair, I would have sat there till they came back.
Well, neato question. Come up with more of these.

I think I was three or four. I was eating with my family, and I remember seeing that they started washing the dishes and cleaning up, because they had finished. When I heard no sound around me, I felt very sad because they had left me there to eat all alone. Then when I was done I raised my eyes and I saw mom was still there looking at me :) so I guess I imagined it, but it felt pretty real

I had very depressing thoughts when my mothers died and then my father had a severe stroke 6 weeks later. Even though I wasn't "alone" I did get very scared whenever my husband and two children went somewhere together. I would be terrified that something would happen to them.

did something stupid when I was younger once, went pot holing on my own, never again. It was only a shallow hole 40meters down but I experienced total darkness and silence for the first time ever. No one knew I was there...so I really was totally alone.
It was scary but the adreneline rush kept me going. got out fine no worries, but won't do it again

you are never all alone.
someone somehow and in someway is tracking you looking in on you and knows who you are and what you are doing.
Security cams are everywhere, from the ones that ,monitor traffic to the local ATM. you never are alone ever.
