Sometimes being alone is definitely not the best thing for you. While being alone is inevitable at times, happens due to busy schedule, you are asked to stay late in a hotel, arrive early at a location while no-one else is around, or just need time out, away, in the dark, for a smoke, or a breather and do not think for another moment, how vulnerable that one decision might actually make you. WE need to be smarter how we do things and in which kinds of situations life, events, circumstances, or even we ourselves place ourselves!
Avoid risky situations, locations, stairwells, empty elevators, dark and desolate, isolated areas, badly lit, overgrown, un-secure, alley-ways, parking lots, garages, empty buildings or offices etc. important to your sanity, it may be too risky in some situations. If there are other people around it is better, get yourself within sight or hearing distance, closer to where there is foot/cars kind of traffic moving, more likely to pass. Put yourself within easy reach of help or getting assistance if/when you might require it.
Walking at night to get some air, in the dark, by yourself, is probably not a good idea, as you are increasing the probability for you to be or get attacked. Take your dog or friend with you and do not venture alone, unless you can help it or it is absolutely necessary.
Always inform someone else of your whereabouts. At all times carry a cell phone or communication device that works, battery life, signal, with you. Keep it readily accessible, not tucked away. It can even be a weapon if it has to be (that has to become your frame of mind also). Always think what you have around or on you that can help you,
