How long do you go without talking to anyone?

For those who keep track, how long do you typically go without speaking to anyone?

So far this month I've spoken to one person. Last month I think I spoke to others on one or two days. (I'm not including saying hello in the shops, or JobCentre appointments here).

Last November, I spoke to other people only once, and I didn't speak to another person at all in the whole of December (again excepting 'hellos').

  • The least the better since I retired after 45 years working. I chat once a week with supermarket staff, with workmen sent by my landlord and with others at my NHS exercise class [I never stay afterwards for coffee]. This keeps me happy as I can control my 'output.' I used to feel lonely, at my family home, at school and work - but never since I retired and choose my communication. There is always something to do or to learn!
