Actually, I have been thinking about this myself, and I think the experience of stopping time for at least someone is much more frightening, First I would like to talk about the two types of Presents: Spatial and Temporal:
 * For Spatial, on a scale that is not cosmic, but for example human scale, majority of us are not present to one another, we are considerable distance away in different locations along the 3-dimensional space, some of us are in a building working, some of us are at home, some of us are scubadiving and/or in a plane right now. Point is, none of us can truly be present to one other as we occupy various spaces.
 * For Temporial, everything, no matter how big or small are present because we exist in the present, because the present moment is considered an instant, and an instant has no room for any lapse or duration of time, no beginning or end, eternal, so every instant either right now, past or future would be considered an eternity without any other additional instant. So when one stops time itself, you are in for a worse hell than just being stopped in place, you would simply cease to exist, for when you stop time itself for a person, that person would no longer be in the present, but they would end up either in the chronological past, or in some timeless void, because time stopping for you means you cannot truly be in time if you do not have a presence, just like how when you move with a group of people from one spatial location to another, when you stop, you are no longer present with the group or towards the end point, it may sound confusing, but I hope this makes sense.
 * For when in those situations where you just simply simply see people stop moving in stopped "time" it is not really Time itself that is stopped, but simply one's progression, because in 3-dimensional space, Time is also necessary, it is what defines the progression of anything in existence, such as:
 * If you stop a person's time: Either you stop their aging or body movement.
 * If you stop a icecube's time: You can make it unmeltable from external temperatures.
 * If you stop a fire's time: You can make it sustain it's heated gas form without it burning out or lack of fuel.

I hope you understand how terrifying Time Stop would likely truly be.
