I voluntarily went 7 days without having a single conversation with another person...

Non-Running Relationships/Women/Men

I'm on vacation in another country and got burned out with socializing after finding myself in spot dominated by potheads. I then moved on but went seven days without having a single conversation with another person. I still had some human interaction as I had to ask hotel staff for a room and how much, and order food, etc, but other than that I didn't really speak to anyone. I realize this is not normal, but I also don't feel like it bothered me at all. I honestly didn't even think about it until today when some Polish girl started talking to me.

Should I be worried? Does this sort of thing point to any sort of mental illness?

Is this a rhetorical question?

If I only spoke to persons I enjoyed speaking with 98.956% of the world would think me mute.

For me it would be something more like 99.998%. I went entire weeks in high school without uttering a single word.

Sounds like OP had spoken situational based interactions not conversations.

Do you have a room?

Yes

How much?

600 SEK

Deal.

The fact you are concerned about it indicates that no, you do not suffer from any mental illness.It's cool to veg out and ignore people once in awhile.Beatnik poet Bob Kaufman took a vow of silence that lasted from 1963-1973 to protest JFK assassination.

How is that different from how 70% of the people in here are?

re: I prefer quiet music

100-98.956= 1.044

7,100,000,000x.01044=74,214,000

so 74 million people would believe you were not mute and this would be most likely be known through the fact that you talked to them disproving muteness to them, and if you talked with them or to them you know or have interacted with 74 million people.

I believe we have found our most popular LR poster who has interacted with an astounding 74 million people
