I suspect many of us are lucky to have survived childhood (and young adulthood). What was your scariest moment?

Edit: Sorry I'm not from lemmy.world, but still wanted to answer, hope you don't mind.

When I was in China, my older brother was mad at me about something and was chasing me throughout the apartment so I got scared and I ran away from home to find my mother at her workplace. I sneaked on a bus (bus drivers didn't really care, probably though I was the kid of whoever was in front of me) and went to my mother's workplace. When I got there, I couldn't find her, so after just waited for like half an hour before catching another bus back home. When I got off the bus I saw bunch of cops looking for me at a plaza near my home and my mom saw me and so the missing person search was concluded. My grandmother who was at home had called my mom and told her I ran out of the house so thats why the cops were there and it's why she left early from work. So after that my mom took me to a restaurant to calm me down and I had some dumplings there. But my mom still said if I were not found, she wouldn't blame my brother, which just made me feel so worthless. That's probably one of the major events that cause me to be depressed af today.
