Re: How Long Can U Go Without Talking To People?

One of my friends and I text throughout the day every day if that counts. As far as speaking with anyone, it's a week or more these days.  I have plenty of people I could call, but do they really care what I've been watching on television or eating for dinner?  Because that's the excitement in my life now lol

Re: How Long Can U Go Without Talking To People?

I usually talk to my parents and my daughter multiple times a day.

On the rare days I do not, I miss them all three so much. I do have a dh, and he is working from home, or I would be very lonely, as I am not going out much.

I have noticed we are talking to the animals so much, I'd have thought they would have started meowing and barking back by now.

With all the hand-held ways to talk to others, I think the mind talk goes on, but with masks now, we tend to not speak out loud.  It seems that way to me.

[ Edited ]

aren't there words in a song that says, "I like it when you say nothing at all".  Something like that

 

Album: Notting Hill
 
Play "Ronan Keating - W…"
on Amazon Music Unlimited (ad)
 


[Chorus:]
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
 You say it best when you say nothing at all


That's it.

Re: How Long Can U Go Without Talking To People?

I've always been someone who takes in more information than I give.  I listen to talk radio during the day.  I watch instructional videos for my crafting obsession.  I do FB chats.  A lot of my talking is to the cats.  I'm finding that when I do talk to the humans in my life, they seem to be so preoccupied with their thoughts and are not really listening.  That is annoying to me.  I do have a couple of close friends I can get with for wine time.  We connect, and that satisfies my need for someone who listens to me.  I keep in touch with a few people by phone.

Still have 9 kids left in house, so no chance of that for several years yet.

Less that two minutes and then I start talking to myself.

Re: How Long Can U Go Without Talking To People?

I actually go days at a time not speaking to anyone. So - I started to talk to myself. My little dog looks at me trying to figure out who I'm talking to.

I have various people staying with me on and off - but the conversations are usually short. I'm not a gabber - but when I'm speaking to someone on a topic I'm interested in - I could talk for 1/2 hour to an hour.
