gone 24 hours without seeing a human being besides yourself? Being in a coma doesn't count. Seeing someone on tv or through any media does not count as seeing a human. Personally I can't think of any such time.

I don't think I've even gone 12 hours without seeing someone.

I've done this a couple times some years ago when my parents had to go out of town, but I wasn't quite old enough to drive myself anywhere. I actually became a decent cook for myself from that.

In childhood / college days of course when I'm home and my parents went somewhere for a trip I have but....in my adult life...never. Unless sleeping for 20 hours then eating from the minibar for a few hours after being awake 48 hours straight counts.

I'm a kid so rarely am I not with someone, and even when I'm "alone" my parents are there....>.<

seriously? you've never screwed up your sleep schedule to the point where 12 hours of sleep was what your body wanted? (obviously i'm assuming you mean a certain age minimum since as a baby there's no doubt you slept longer than this)

Never. I've always been a very social person, so i almost never spend time alone (except when driving)

There was one year in undergrad I would go several days without seeing someone. But that's undergrad, right? These are the years you don't go to sleep for a few days just to see what it's like.

I haven't since then, though.

I once went 3 days without seeing anyone. The streak broke when i saw the pizza guy but if that doesnt count it was like 4.5 days. If its of any interest, i had no internet or tv and only video game i had was resident evil: survivor and a black and white tv.

i have already gone 2+ days ( maybe almost 4 days ) without seing an human.

Basicly it was:
- Parents -> holidays
- bro -> Lost somewhere doing ice climbing or stupid shit like that.
- friends -> holidays
- me -> lazy/bw mood -> staying at home playing bw / browsing net / watching movies / reading books whereas i told to my parents " IAM GONNA STUDY HARD DADY I SWEAR ! "
Fridge full, beers and White Porto ready so no need to buy anything.
Gets boring after two days though but that's quite a funny experience ( lol comp addiction ).
After 3.5 (? ) days i finally went out to buy stuff / hairdresser.
That was scary... i mean there were people in the street... o,o

o.o This surprises me.

Back when I was of high school age, this occurred like... All the time? 24 hours isn't a very long time, hahaha. I can specifically remember several times of not seeing another human for a week or more.

Back in like 2001-2003 I moved to Rocklin (a suburb of Sacramento somewhat) and Its lame and boring and often times I wouldn't do anything but watch tv and computer all day for weeks. I would see my dad every day though.

There have been at least a few times where I haven't seen a single person for a few days though. Chatted online and talked on the phone though.
