The Longest you've Gone without Speaking

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

I might have gone quiet for about 12 hours but only because I was sleeping.

[Gearbox10mm 794]

As far as having an actual conversation with someone, probably a few weeks. Just basic talking, maybe a couple days. I don't know exactly because I don't pay attention to such things.

 

I'm not a very talkative person. In school I was asked often by people why I never spoke. My answer was always "because I've got nothing to say". 

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

I went months without speaking...  Directly following my birth.

[power strike 198]

half a day and sometimes all night long while being awake since i hardly have any friends in such a boring city lol.

[VinylWubs 1,249]

good question I have to say 2 days because of a 48 hour famine or something

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

This might seem like a lot, but 1 whole week.

It was holidays and everyone was out of the house then too. I was perfectly content gaming, reading, watching TV, walking and all that stuff. Then out of nowhere when I was down the street shopping, the cashier asked how my day was. I let out this strange squeak. Coughed a little and went to talking normally. Soon after, everyone came back and things went back to normal. 

I'm actually surprised I went that long given how often I speak to my cats nowadays.

Almost eleven days during summer break, due to depression.  

[Lord Bradley 1,319]

I'd say about 2 hours. Yeah, not very long, that. Well, I'm usually silent in classes, but otherwise not really. And when I'm alone, I just speak my thoughts. Though. If sleep counts, itd be 23 hours without speaking

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Eh........ I think its pretty close to 2 weeks......

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

I have once gone 2 days without speaking.... though I can easily go the rest of my life in silence

[Steve Piranha 28,782]

I'm stuck with my family, so I go without speaking un 2 hours periods a day on average

[CrystaliaStar 22]

Maybe between 10-24 hours.

[mars 4,861]

Like an hour or two. I'm a very talkative person. Even when I'm alone, I tend to laugh or mumble something to myself.

 

Everyone does it, I swear.

[Pastel 7,627]

When I'm alone I sometimes talk to myself, so if I don't count sleep, maybe less than 4 hours.

[Ridley Wolf 291]

A little over three days. Nobody even noticed.

[SCS 7,443]

Not including talking to my parents at home or online communication, I've gone weeks and weeks without talking to people before, mainly during the summer. Saying I'm shy would be the understatement of the century. In fact, I've been diagnosed with social phobia, so social situations range from draining to terrifying for me. Talking to someone I don't know frightens me way more than walking around alone at night, crossing the street, and anything else that's actually dangerous.

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

10-15 hours,I'm not a talkative person either.

[coco-ta-mi 59]

The longest i've gone without speaking when I was really upset with my mom 

[Midnight Solace 5,129]

Umm... Half a year, actually. Maybe longer, but I can't remember.

I'm just shy, and have severe social anxiety. I avoid people wherever I go so I wouldn't have to interact with them.

I would prefer to just be alone by myself. I like my privacy.

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

Maybe a few hours? I don't know, I've never really paid attenion to that.

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I've probably gone a couple of days. If I'm alone and focused on something I don't interact much. And I've had occasion to be alone enough times when I could go without speaking for a good while.

[Lucky Bolt 34,915]

The only time I'm not talking is when I'm asleep.  So probably about...10 hours.

[Cyclone 1066 3,616]

Not counting sleeping, 12 hours.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

If I don't count talking to myself as speaking, I think my record at this point is roughly three days or so. 

If I also don't count the occasional responses to somebody else asking me something, I think it could be more like a few months.

I'm generally quite a shy person, I don't really talk to people a lot unless I'm really comfortable with talking to them, which isn't something that comes easy normally. Sure I did open up to a couple of people including who I believe is a guidance counselor (not sure if that's specifically what she is, but it's something like that), but that was due to me absolutely NEEDING to vent, and I couldn't stay silent any longer about my issues, though I normally do that here instead because I find it a lot easier due the nature of those issues (social anxiety and the et cetera).
