@themindsnack you can feel something in the atmosphere shift, because apparently empty space and occupied space are two very different things.

When you're alone, you notice changes that other people would make... it's only natural. Things that are too subtle to be described by the five senses, but things that your senses are picking up... a faint odour, a bit of warmth, the electricity of a heart beat, breath, and, of course, occupying space... you can feel a wall at your back even if you can't see it... it's dull and deadening... it's an evolutionary response... you pick up on predators.

Heightened sense perceptions, which can be an asset or a hindrance, depending on how we utilize them.

probably there's no actual Alfred Hitchock-esque reason. If we should study the regular senses more, I think we'd find that our peripheral vision is much stronger than we realize and our hearing also increases. I doubt that it's intuition either, although it might be probability.

Dark street - late at night - sound would be my guess, and a kind of echo location motion detector we all have to varying degrees... in your own house, someone peeping through a hole in the wall ? - you don't, I have been watching you for years....

Because you clearly are paranoid and distrust the world so much you turn into a jumpy person, and therefore always feel there is going to be a guy in a ski mask and jump suit who's going to get ready to pounce at you with a butcher knife? It could be this... OR it could also be because when you are alone their is a switch that your fear triggers and thus causes your internal senses to reach their peak in your brain and therefore you embrace your animal instinctual side and begin to become incredibly alert at any possible sign of "trouble".

In my opinion, it is not fine-tuning of our mind, but primal instinct. We have retained it from our earliest days as hunter/gatherers, surrounded by enemies and predators. I also think that people who spend time outdoors and alone have a better sense than those who spend their time in groups or indoors. People are often surprised when I speak to them without turning around, obviously thinking I was unaware of their presence.
