I've been alone for the past week. I had only one human contact which was a video call with a friend. Otherwise, totally alone. Since I'm going to therapy today, that will change. It scares me to realise that I can happily and calmly skip human contact for long time. What was the longest time that you have spent by yourself?
The longest time that I have spent completely by myself is a week. This was approximately 20 years ago when I was more-or-less bedridden with flu.
Edited to add: I've never lived alone, but I am fairly sure that if my adult son was to move out, I would struggle to get through a week without having some form of human interaction.
