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').
I've gone about three months. But that is due to sell imposed solitude. Usually this is to recover from being around people but it can be a problem. You’ve got to watch that. This is the double edged sword we have to live with. Living like normal people kills us 
Talking to people after prolonged periods not talking can also be weird and exacerbate anxieties in my experience. So moderately frequent engag3ement is required to keep in check (also for your mental health). I do engage with the world fairly frequently though with sensory protection. I find this works better than shutting the world off with no protection.
