Have YOU ever done this?

That would never be me. I'm constantly talking to myself. People think I'm crazy, but I think I'm just bursting with ideas!

Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.

Apparently, you don't own a cat.

Do you not cat?

I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I'll start talking to my self somehow.

You lucky BS bastards... And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.

For months at a time unfortunately! Lmfao- Use the phone+ call friends and family- people aren't around forever

You don't talk to yourself?

Lived alone during COVID.

Went months

Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he's watching John Mulaney

Glad I'm not that weirdo. I'll still talk to my cat.

4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy

Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week

No because I have a job and leave my house.

I have a remote work job. Sometimes,I don’t talk to another human for many days. It doesn’t bother me too much:

I talk to my dogs. Honestly, my dogs have probably kept me alive and well as much as I keep them alive and well.

This is why cats exist

I always talk to my cats

when I was a bachelor. what bachelor hasn't.

Nope, I talk to my dog and three times a day we walk around the block and inevitably someone will wave and say hello

I battled severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse/addiction. I was living in the Colorado rockies in the cold mountains with out connection to civilization for weeks on end... im unofficially on rhe spectrum too. I think ive gone a couple days saying nothing, definitely.

If I didn't talk to myself out loud or use voice-to-text on my phone to leave internet comments, I'd be on day 5 of vocal silence right now.

Also, you apparently have a sore throat. Who knew?

Back when I was single, that happened often during my vacations

I'm highly reclusive, so this happens a lot.

Got too many vocal cats I talk back to. Don't think I can go an hour unless I'm sleeping.

I solve this problem by occasionally yelling at bafflingly stupid current events, as recounted by various youtubers/podcasts.

Gotta keep up that ability to insult on the fly.

Stretch those creativity brain pathways, in addition to your vocal cords.

Either that or cursing myself out for writing bafflingly bad code, from time to time.

... Less insanely, I also sing, and... have neighbors I talk to, go outside from time to time, chat up randos.

I have an internal monologue nearly all the time.

Sometimes I just outwardly verbalize it.

I have gone days without talking to other people but I don't think I've ever gone a waking hour without talking.

not alone but forgetting how to talk. quit answering phone

Yes. Or the only words I've said aloud were Insane Clown Posse lyrics.

I find myself talking to my terminal out loud

I got this killer up inside me. I can’t talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary.

When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)

Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn't even sure if I'd have a voice that day.
