Truly being alone

[Tartar Horde]

Humans have not evolved to be alone in the truest sense of the word. We are pack animals and are hardwired to coexist with other humans in a mutually beneficial way. Even the most hardened misanthrope has someone nearby etc, even if they are only a small family unit or a neighbour. Nearly every instance of a person being truly isolated without any human contact has led to mental breakdown and an increased level of mental stress, normally exhibited by hearing noises and a feeling of being watched. These symptoms are your instinct telling you it is not normal to be in this state. To be truly alone is possibly the worst thing a human could experience.
