The Longest you've Gone without Speaking

[Starflower 323]

There was this one time that I was alone in my sister's apartment, and I never said a word for two days straight. I never left the apartment, never talked to anyone physically, nor talked on the phone with anymore. Two days is pretty much my limit. xD 

[Two-of-Hearts 168]

I imagine I've gone several weekends without saying a word, but conditions have never been right for me to go longer than that, so I'd say I've gone two days without speaking. Although I am one to talk to myself at times, but I don't know if that counts since its not so much that I'm socializing but rather just thinking out loud. If the conditions were right I'm sure I could go months without speaking, and I'd probably love it.

I spent about 3-4 days not talking to anyone at all once, just because I didn't really feel like it, other than that one off, I usually will have one or two days a month were I won't speak to anyone, just for lack of anything interesting to talk about.

I Can go a while without talking if need be.

I'm not a very talkative person unless I'm around my friends.

 

Although I think the longest was a few months when moved. Didn't really have any reason to talk.

[Zygen 6,066]

I'm really shy actually, and for my first while at public school i really didn't do much talking, so I imagine I could proably go a whole day atleast without talking to someone.

 

Although I'd still need to preocupy my time with youtube videos and these forums of course.

 

Despite my shyness though i'd get pretty lonely after a while. I think a day would be about as long as I could go without talking.

 

I've probably already gone atleast school days without talking, most of my talking I do at home, sometimes its a little sometimes its a bit more.

 

If I get started though I can talk quiet a lot ironically.

As far as I can remember I went roughly 2 weeks without saying a word to anybody. I could've gone longer but my parents (read: Mom) were worried that I was kidnapped or gunned down in the street or something. If you exclude those instances since I was kind of force into speaking, it would be somewhere around a month I imagine.

 

I'm pretty comfortable not speaking even in social settings and I usually can't stand small talk. If I made an effort to, I'm sure I could go at least around 2 months without speaking. 

[Starshine 16,334]

How long I could go without socializing outside the internet? Well, maybe an hour or two. My job requires me to talk to a lot of people each hour and my neighborhood is particularly lively. It would be a total waste of time not to defile others with the banshee shrieking that I call voice

 

But if the situation is right, I can easily go for months to end without socializing. I found solace in solitude and darkness.

[Abstract 832]

When I was in second grade, I read a book about a girl who decided to stop talking to everyone and anyone, due to a traumatic event in her life. She hadn't talked to anyone in over two years. I was in no such situation myself, but it intrigued me to find out how long I could go without saying a word to anyone.

 

Pathetically, I made it three days.

[DashieVROOM 29]

usually for me i'm used to being quiet since people talk over me and think im annoying. som i'm quiet most of the time listening to music and such.

[Broccoli 127]

Interesting question. Besides sleeping, I would say at most several hours. Probably when no one else is in the house, or that other time I had appendix surgury.

[TheCraftyWhiteFox 371]

the longest ive gone is a month. it was a fustrating and depressing time and i live alone so i just stayed in my house and didn't do or say anything. but thats only happned once. on a usualy basis its 24 hours more or less. 

[Veronica The Miffvixen 232]

When I sleep is the longest.

 

Though, I've often had it where I've gone for periods of 15 hours without speaking, on days I was particularly quiet.

[MadDoggyca 710]

Iv gone days/week or more, Being pumped full of every drug one could ask for and staying in the hostpital for days after surgery makes this a easy task

[CandyRush 75]

1 and a half seconds. Depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes 10 hours since I'm on here or typing a story of FimFiction. Bascially, I don't talk when I'm on the computer.

[Retro*Derpy 3,186]

3 days is my longest, and that was because I was paralyzed on a couch from the H1N1. I wouldn't talk much, but it is a must at school and work.

[~Chaotic Fireball~ 499]

Hmm , let me think for a while.

About ten seconds. I can't help talking, because it's a nice feeling to open your moth and let out words. And if you don't open your mouth then it will get wet and dark and calmmy and smell bad. people need air circulating in their mouths, specifically my little sister when she gets up out of bed in the morning.  Plus I'm very talkative, you can't blame me for talking or typing or whatever too much. Am I talking too much right now?

I only have one thing to say to you, good sir.

DEAL WITH IT

[Vexxy 134]

Well... If it excludes me talking to myself or my cat, probably about... ~3 days..? And with my cat, probably around 6 hours. But I talk way too much to myself, so it probably wouldn't be over 20 minutes with that... ^-^; 

[Hangman 320]

I did 3 days in solitary confinement when I was in jail, didn't talk at all. So 3 days. It felt weird getting out, everything sounded really loud and it took a while to get used to hearing my voice again.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

Probably when I lost my voice. I couldn't speak for like a day. But, as my choice...was probably when I was depressed and spent like half the day without talking.

[hawkflame 3,310]

I don't know about anyone else, but I went 2 1/2 years without speaking at one point.

 

Okay, granted, they were the first 2 1/2 years of my life, but that counts!

[~Starlight~ 764]

Well, I just love to talk, loudly, and have fun doing it, it's hard not to talk but on 'Children in Need' I did a sponsored silence, all my teachers sponsored me (Cannot guess why....) But that was for about 7hrs! 

[Pony Of The Month 534]

I don't speak much at all, so a bigger achievement for me would be longest period of time I've ever spoken. And I have no idea what that would be. 

[Anonymous~ 591]

Excluding those things that you posted in the OP? Well.. to be completely honest, I believe one time I didn't socialize for like...

3 and a half whole months

Yeah, I know, I know. Oh well, maybe one day I'll beat the Guinness world record.

[Aaramus 449]

I went for about 3 days once but that was more due to fact I took a blow to the neck which made it hurt to speak for that period of time and with eating. 

My voice goes after training as well which is pretty odd so I often go a whole evening without speaking or I just sound like Batman.

[TwilizzleFoShizzle 95]

probably 2 weeks without video games, 2 years with.video games are good ways to waste time and not socialize so naturally I could last an insane amount of time without socializing if I had a good video game to pass the time. Preferably R&C, haven't played that in a while.
