I think SD is right - you are either of the mindset to cope with it, or you are not. I don't think you can learn the knack of being alone and being comfortable with it. Some people crave the company of others.
I personally relish alone time. I can't offer any tips on how I cope with it, because I just do. I know some folks try to keep busy or even keep the radio on for company. Being alone is a pleasure for me, and others on the Forum are obviously of the same mind.
To be honest, on this crowded little island I doubt if there will ever be a time when you are "truly alone" for very long, so the question of what would you do if there were no others around is not going to be too much of an issue.
For any one who needs coping mechanism - how about a dog? Great friend, helpful companion and definitely man's best friend.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
