I’ve been in some scary situations, but I don’t think anything has ever compared to the fear + PANIC feeling of getting separated and then lost from my parents inside a busy store when I was a child. I feel like I can handle fear and get ahold of it pretty quickly as an adult, even in dangeroussituations, but panic is an entirely different animal and as a kid you have zero reference for that kinda thing.
Man, I didn’t even wander off, I was looking at something and they were behind me, and when I turned around, they were gone. It was just a sea of adults and I was short so all I could see was people’s legs lol

Well now I feel bad for laughing at the leashed children.
