If Every Other Person in the World Disappeared...

...fill in the blank. I suspect you'd no longer have social anxiety disorder. So, jokes aside, how would you be different, or what would change about you? Nothing? What would you do that you ordinarily wouldn't? Would you be lonelier, or more at peace? It's a preposterous hypothetical, yes, but I'm sure some would welcome the freedom of being who they are without judgment or consequence. I'm interested in what you all think.

If everyone disappeared I would steal a nice car and go cruising on the freeway.

I think it would be fun for a little while but it would become fatally lonely fast.

Hmmm.......If everyone in the world really like me and were completely unaware of any of my SA symptoms.....that might work.

But then again, some people are very boisterous and invade your personal space (not to mention, won't shut up).

If I was the only human left on earth I'd be terrified. After the shock wore off and when I was capable, I'd take off in a new vehicle and explore the Country. Maybe cruize my own ship to other parts of the world.
When I got tired of that, I'm afraid I'd be so lonely, I wouldn't want to be all alone forever.

I will feel so lonely, I would probably create some robots to keep me company, or go crazy and talk to a volleyball like Tom Hanks did in Cast Away. I will also be scared of alien invasions because the earth's population is now 1...

Considering that the first things that will disappear is going to be electricity and fresh water, there won't be much to live for.

But it would be fun to create a library of mankinds greatest achievements and collect the lot in a shrine for whatever came to earth next. Or if I am in a foul mood a shrine to all the most horrible stuff.
