Ever wish you were mute so you dont have to talk to anyone?

[Tacodidra 61,687]

Nope, I'm more talkative than most people I've met. Remember Pinkie in "Magic Duel" (when Trixie removed her mouth)? That's how I'd feel.

[Fluttershutter 2,876]

No, because people would still expect you to talk to them and it would be even more uncomfortable.

I lost my voice for a long time and people who knew that were still coming up to me and asking me questions.

[SparklingSwirls 21,547]

No, I don't usually like talking if I can avoid it, but I would want to be able to talk if there was a situation that required it.

Unfortunately sometimes I think it would be much easier to be mute for me

I've tried it a few times and have faked sign language to not talk to anyone. Though later I actually tried to learn sign language. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,625]

In school, I am very mute anyway so if anything, I wish I can talk way more.   At least here, I can. 

[Narcissus 356]

I'd never choose to have any basic ability taken away. If I don't want to speak I just don't. I can always pretend to be mute if it came right down to it; I don't need to be restricted in order to decide my own actions.

No. I may not be the most social person, but that doesn't mean that I dislike talking.

[TheRockAReader 53,946]

A lot of times I wish I was.

[Cagey 4,257]

Yeah, I have, but ultimately I would probably find the communication barrier frustrating.

[Ittoni 538]

On elementary school my teachers though I actually was mute for some years. 

[PCutter 127]

Everything's one-sided against my favor anyway. So fine. I'd let it happen to me. 

[ExplosionMare 21,327]

Depends on who I’m talking to or what I have to talk about. In most public situations, I would be okay with being mute. I would go a little crazy though if I couldn’t communicate with family.

Wishing to have a disability, is not very nice to yourself or other born with that disability

[EpicEnergy 23,244]

It would be too problematic, I'd rather be able to talk.

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,119]

Being mute would help because people can understand my thoughts

[Clawdeen 20,269]

No I wouldn’t want to completely lose my ability to speak

If I don’t want to talk to people I just won’t. I wouldn’t want to completely lose being able to do that.

[CowBoyKid 2,100]

Sometimes I do wish I was a mute so I didn't have to talk to people, but then life would be difficult, and communication would be a struggle. 

[Izaac 5]

no i like talking usually

[Pandora 38,547]

Sometimes but I’m already a quiet person irl so I think that would backfire

[dead account 2,716]

I wouldn't want to be mute, I want at least the option to talk whenever I want.

But people are always busy with themselves, so no one would care about it anway, if I talk or not. Never did. It's only needed in a very few situations, to explain things, it makes it easier and quicker, but it's not mandatory most of the time. Though, some jobs would be impossible to do as a mute.

[Ocean Breeze 5,199]

No, cause then I wouldn't be able to talk to my best friend, and that would suck.

If I don't wanna talk to people, I just won't.

[Raskolnikov 1,717]

I had selective mutism and trust me you do NOT want to be mute. Going out in public ends up a constant exercise in total humiliation. You might even want to stop wanting to be seen in public altogether.

[Snoopy Fan 7,817]

No, if I was mute, I couldn’t do all my cool cartoon character impressions.

[feralfilly 161]

No I don't, I know mutism can stem from disorders and I know it would be hard to live with. That aside, it would be nice for the people around me to just let me have periods of time that I don't speak verbally to them. That way I'm less likely to experience burnout
