Last year, my family went on vacation and left me all alone.

That is terrible. Did you feel lonely?

Yes.  I tried distracting myself with tv and internet, but i kept thinking of them.

How long did you stay alone?

Till they returned home.  It was really a fairly bleak experience, and one which i am not anxious to repeat.
