"I really miss conversation, human voices, hearing someone else tell me about them and their day. It's suddenly a lot quieter than it ever was on the conversation side of things. At one point I was called 3 times a day and when I tried to reduce that down it wasn't taken well. If I hadn't had a counselling session today I'm not sure I'd have actually spoken to another human. How often to do speak to another human? Either on the phone or in person. I guess most do at work. But outside of that? " Don’t you speak to family members or friends? It healthy to have some form of communication | |||

"Other than at work and my kids it's pretty much the norm I don't speak to anyone else. But I prefer it that way, people just fill you full of shit anyway. And it'd ruin my plans to become the crazy dog lady if I was too sociable. " | |||

" Speak to loads daily but do I really speak to them or is it just chat , work and banter . I don’t really talk to anyone about family or life in general .. I have one or 2 friends but they live in another country and I had a friend here a few months ago but I thought I was being messed around and blew it .. It’s tough at times but plod along | |||

"I see a lot of people everyday at work and its the right amount for me. But having worked at home during covid I know how hard it is without adult interaction. Some of my remote colleagues feel the same. Can you meet people for a coffee some time OP?" As in friends or colleagues, that was not a chat up line, lol | |||

" I make it a priority in life to stay connected to others beyond work demands, alongside having time to myself as well. I speak to another person every day face to face, in one way or another - family, friends, coffee shop, hobbies, walking, I often try to make sure I say hello to others if they look like they’re down or feeling lonely. | |||

"I find conversing a bit draining..... odd thing to say I know ... After long conversations I usually hid away to recharge ." I know that feeling. | |||

"After reading the responses it's kinda nice to know I'm not a complete sad case and it's quite normal. I've gone from having a family of six where I was regularly talked out to three in the house and being single. So I guess I notice the difference. I come from a family of 8 so I've always been used to a busy house I guess. God knows what it'll be like when my small ones fly the best too. " *Nest | |||

"Is talking to animals acceptable. Being single, living the single life. I make up for lost conversation when a human body faces me. I talk incessantly and need to shut uo at times. I love a good conversation wheter putting world to rights or nonsense or debating or singing " Talking to animals is acceptable as long as they don't talk back. | |||

I quite like my own company though too but I know after a couple of days I start feeling like I need to make an effort to go out or socialise otherwise my mood dips. | |||

Like you say, it’s crucial for mental health for me, plus I like to check in with others to make sure they are ok too. It’s a two way thing for sure. | |||

It's been like that for decades with one exception that I now deeply regret and don't want to revisit ever again. I'd take silence over that any day. Friends are few but they are there, but they also have lives too " WhatsApp friends group? I think having different hobbies and a variety of friends is healthy. That being said I also enjoy my own company but at the same time I normally have a close friend at different period of time, usually someone am dating, actually close to some exs, it helps to talk. | |||
