There is no way at all that I'll find it okay to be caught all alone in an island at whatever circumstance, just as what you are trying to convey here. For this time, there is no one else around whom I call upon to keep me company and help in facing the harshness of life. The first thing I must do after coming to my senses, is to see to it that there is someplace which can keep me safe whenever attacks from still unidentified animals happen. Then find out about sources of food. Think, I might need some fire going 24 hours - how am I going to go about it? Then think again, what will I do so rescuers will notice immediately where I am? I must be located fast so I can be back in the fold of my family.

first time, I think I would find a way to survive in that island, then creating a lot of huge eye catching sign just in case a plane or a ship pass by.. if still nobody is come to the rescue, I would start to claim the land, make a kingdom out of it or sell it to outsider if I ever return that is

my thinking about this is that sometimes I need to stay alone just relaxing and thinking about my problems but sometimes I need to stay with people talking and discussing, so a forced loneliness would be a trouble and particularly on a island because i don't know to swimm too....

I'm not afraid to be alone, but I'm not sure whether I can survive since I'm a city girl. But I think I will try me best to get out since I have my son waiting for me.

I probably would cry too, but if you are alone, then nobody will hear you because nobody is there. Then I guess the next thing to do is to try to find food and shelter.

I'd try my best to survive in the island, I dont know how but I'll try to make use of the resources available in the island to help me survive and perhaps make a raft just like in the movie, Cast away... I'd sure cry out loud too and make some "help me" signs so if there's a boat or helicopter or plane that will pass by the island, they will notice it and they will know that there's someone there who needs help plus I would pray really hard.

The idea itself is awful. Being stranded in an island is scary, to think a lot of wild animals might just be around ready to beat you up. That's horrendous! I'll seek for help before any animals could taste my flesh!

Take out my phone and call for help. Then scout around to see if I am really alone in the island. At the same time, try to find anything which I can use to start a fire while looking out for food which I may help myself before help came.

oh my, i think i could not live that long in the island alone by myself.. but i will do my best to survive, i don't know how long it will take. it's too strange living in a place where you don't have any idea. hopefully some rescue will come.

it doesn't sound like a bad idea for me:) sometimes i feel that i want to leave everything behind and live on a desearted island .. if i have some tools and there's food and fresh water and no wild beasts then i think i will be ok :)

hi cherriemae. First of all, i dont think I would cry, second I would gather my thoughts, and start thinking of food n fresh water, shelter, fire and wood. Once I have my base set, I would probably go look for any signs of life... But then being in that state for real, who knows...

this is my place of tranquility  - this is where i go when i want to be totally alone. I dont always want this but many times it is no exageration to say this place has saved my life 
blessed be
i would love some kind of refuge where i could go hide in absolute tranquility. However, i dont want to be alone all the time, so i would need access to others as and when i need it. I actually have a place like this where i go to clear my mind and seek solitude, but it is near enough for me to come home when i need company blessed be

I would probably busy myself trying to do survival type stuff, build a fire, shelter, find food and water, etc. That would keep me from letting my mind dwell on being all alone and getting scared. If I was there for many days and thought that I might not be found, then I would probably cry out of frustration and being lonely. Being alone for a few weeks I could handle, but I would probably start to get very lonely (and a little crazy) if I didn't see another person for months.

I would really be scared, seriously I wouldn't get a hold of myself there.. I would be thinking I wish I wouldn't have gone here, being alone is one of my fear. I don't really have any idea on what to do, I guess I have to look for a way to survive and try to do something that would bring me home.. *I hope I can really do that*

Its hard to imagine being lonely on an island . Right now I can paint two kinds of pictures , a beautiful one and a horrible one . In he horrible one I would be eaten away by a wild animal ,die of hunger , die of boredom , die of lack of interest to live , fall severely ill due to lack of mediaction and unhealthy food . In the beautiful one I would recreate everything from scartch . I would build myself a nice house to protect myself from rain . I would invent my own weapons to catch fish and protect myself from the wild animals . I would make a boat to catch the fish along the shore . I would wear nice dresses made of leaves or won't even care to wear anything if I am all alone . It would be a life full of inventions and discoveries , a truly exciting life .

Cry will not help you. It will make you more lonely, worry n fear. I will try all my way to stay a life on this island. That will be way to escape this place if you still alife. Never try to in the end in life. Life have to go on whatever happen.
