Non speaking days

abruzzo Italy (and UK)

I just went to the supermarket and told the cashier I didn’t need any bags and that was the first time I had needed to actually speak since Monday afternoon. A non speaking day is quite common for me, once or twice a week probably, but 72 hours was longer than normal. Not that they bother me.

So, how often do you have non speaking days? Do you ever have them? Would it bother you? Would it feel like a nice break or would it be weird for you?

I have had days where I don't speak to anyone but not often. During those times I have spoken out loud to myself so I don't know if that counts as a non speaking day by your rules?

I love them. But with having two young children I have to answer a trillion questions a day.

Some evenings I do just sit in silence. No TV, no phone, not talking. It's nice.

There are days when I want no face to face communication but force myself out to interact even if just in shop or pub

Spend most of my days alone so some offline interaction is nice

Living alone & working from home, I often don't speak to folk. But I talk to myself and my cat. And, worryingly, I'm started talking to various white goods & kitchen appliances....

I like it though. If I need to chat, I go out or pick up the phone x

Sounds like a normal day for me, live alone and work alone so no need to speak.

If I feel like a chat I visit friends and family.

I have them some days if I don’t have any meetings. But I do talk to the pup all day so not sure if that counts….

I can often go a week without talking to someone..

It all depends on how badly I have pissed off the wife that week

If it wasn't for my dog to talk to I would have plenty speechless days too.

I will normally have one a week, normally Friday. We have a no meeting policy in work, so no teams calls.

If I wasn't working or I worked in a different job the number would increase, but my job is a very social one.

She probably enjoys the peace too

A lady I worked with had regular non speaking days. She said that one day she got up and got dressed for work, she felt a bit ill but didn’t think much of it, just put it down to a cold coming on. It was when she went to get on the bus and ask for her ticket that she realised she was slurring. She got to work and the manager told her that her face looked different and that with the speech they rang her an ambulance. Turned out she’d had a stroke! She then said that when she wakes up now she makes a point of talking to herself aloud to check all is ok.

My dad realised he'd had a stroke when the same thing happened. He was just talking normally but the noises he was making were gibberish. No drooping to the face, no restriction on movement, the speech issue was the only sign.

Only a worry when your toaster replies back to you. What do you ask them

Never. Oh my gosh the thought of it!

If I have a rare day alone I'd walk through the park and say hello to random ppl or take myself off to a cafe or stop in on family I don't do solitude.

I'd love to.

Perhaps a couple of years since I had a non-speaking day. I'd be a bit lost with a whole day. After a few hours I'd call someone tbh!

Stayed a few weeks in a part of Mexico where no one spoke English and I cannot speak Spanish. It was nice just to sit and listen to others chat without knowing what was being said.

Oh jeez, in lockdown once I was back home fucking loads. I'd realise I'd not used my voice when I did speak and was almost shocked at the noise coming out of my mouth.

Days on end, and sometimes well over a week or 2.

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

Up until just over a month ago I'd probably have 2 or 3 non speaking days a week. Sometimes less but sometimes more.

If it wasn't for my job and my cat I would have them all the time.

It's funny when you first speak after a long silence. I'm sometimes not sure if there's still a voice inside.

I talk to myself out loud, so I never have a no speak day.

There were many days during lockdown when I didn't speak to another soul, but I can't think when my last non speaking day was.
