Shit, i can go a good couple of weeks without talking to someone IRL. I think i chatted for a couple minutes in a game today, maybe?
Mind if I ask you something? Have you ever felt like you needed to talk to someone/have social interactions? I don’t mean having to do something that requires social interaction, such as buying stuff, going to a doctor, asking for directions, … I mean feeling something like “I NEED CONTACT WITH ANOTHER HUMAN, IT HAS BEEN TOO LOOOONG”.
I’m asking because I sometimes feel the latter – the “need social interaction” part, that is – and I wanted to know if there were people in here who never felt something like that.
I’ve always felt like an outlier, but yes. I can go an astoundingly long time without human contact and be totally fine. I was shaking my head during the pandemic when people were getting antsy after only a week. Well before that I once realized I literally hadn’t spoken to anybody for over a month and it didn’t even register as odd.
Definitely gets to that point eventually. Sometimes starts to feel too quiet. Generally that feeling passes after a while though.
I would not consider myself normal in that regard tho. I suspect i may be autistic and my “normal” probably… isn’t.
