What is the longest time you've gone without talking at all? The longest I can remember is when I was mad at my parents one time and I didn't talk to them or anybody else the whole day. I heard from someone that that isn't healthy but oh well, my loss :)
I honestly don't remember deliberately going any length of time without talking at all. I'm not particularly the type to clam up and refuse to talk if I'm mad with someone...I just avoid that particular person or go off to myself until I cool off, or I'll go vent to someone else, then confront the person that made me mad about it.
Probably a full day? The only times I can think of would be when a roommate is gone for a weekend or something and I'm on my own which rarely happens. Plus, I talk to myself a lot, even aloud, so I imagine that would sort of skew my results too. XD;
Weird question. :P I would probably have to say the same as Cherrim... It's really hard to go through life without talking. It's how people communicate so I can't imagine going more than a day.
If I wanted to, I can not talk for just about a whole day, or even more. This is relatively simple because of my bad anxiety and social skills and what have you, so it would be easier for me to not talk to someone(that and because I'm super shy), than to actually talk to them, but the issue with that is...well, if I remain quiet, I might sound rude or something either because I would be unintentionally ignoring the person talking to me(from how they see it), or I would make a distinct facial expression(I don't even notice half of the facial expressions that I make, really) that would tell them that I'm upset or something, idk. I'm...confusing sometimes, I guess.
Without speaking at all? Probably about two days. Without speaking to another person verbally? About a week. However when I was little I refused to speak for about six months xD I was taken to a speech therapist and everything just so they could try to get me to talk.
I bet they're regretting that now, Davie! /shot Nah honestly, do people take note of this? I've never really noticed when I'm talking and when I'm not. There are always thoughts going on in my head so it's never quiet, but yeah whenever I'm alone I don't talk so probably however long is the longest amount of time I've been alone lol
I talk to myself and stuff. So I even talk when I'm home alone for a while. But not talking on purpose? Like 5 minutes. I used to talk a whole bunch when I was like 6 and somebody said "I bet you you couldn't stay quiet for 5 minutes!" So I did.
Basically what Geoff said. If I don't really feel like talking then, well, I just won't talk but I'm not gonna outright ignore people. It's irritating if I wanna stay quiet because people always notice that I'm not saying much, haha.
Even when I don't have anyone to talk to, I usually say some things to myself. If I'm mad at someone, I'll still talk to people, just not necessarily the person in question.
