Of course I do, sometimes I need expert advice!
I have a remote work job. Sometimes,I don’t talk to another human for many days. It doesn’t bother me too much:
I talk to my dogs. Honestly, my dogs have probably kept me alive and well as much as I keep them alive and well.
I have gone days without talking to other people but I don't think I've ever gone a waking hour without talking.
I find myself talking to my terminal out loud
Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he's watching John Mulaney
Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.
Do people really not talk to themselfs? They should! It's not "crazy" if you know there isn't another person there. But it's ok to think out loud. It's even good because sometimes you can hear how you sound and change. I like it and this is a type of self therapy
Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.
What do you guys talk about?
mostly about how much I hate myself and I'm worthless, but in a casual, non mean way.
You should cut your face off and eat it.
Not many people have done that so you'd no longer be worthless, and you'd be a hideous monstrosity and hideous monstrosities have shock value so you'd have value, too.
Great advice
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
I'm open to being tricked into reading about potatoes...
That would never be me. I'm constantly talking to myself. People think I'm crazy, but I think I'm just bursting with ideas!
Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I'm alone than I do when someone else is around.
I get lots of questioning looks in the grocery stores cause I didn't make a list and have to tell myself, audible, that I didn't need the cookies.
It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.
English and C++
English and a language that's highly inflective and flexible. So I can't decide if it's worse than C++, but that still seems unlikely.
The upside is that a handful of swearword roots produce a vast array of actual meanings. And, we have compound swearings too! Stuff like ‘ballscockwhore cuntfuck’ is entirely possible, with shades of meaning even.
I had to give up talking via swearing at a previous job, because I realized I had trouble coming up with regular words for the things I meant.

Apparently, you don't own a cat.
4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy
Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week
Back when I was single, that happened often during my vacations
I always talk to my cats
Lived alone during COVID.
Went months
You lucky BS bastards... And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
Why?
Because I said so
Why?
shakes vigorously
DADDY! Why?
Glad I'm not that weirdo. I'll still talk to my cat.
No because I have a job and leave my house.
Do you not cat?
This is why I stopped by. Cat on my friend. PssssPssss
I battled severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse/addiction. I was living in the Colorado rockies in the cold mountains with out connection to civilization for weeks on end... im unofficially on rhe spectrum too. I think ive gone a couple days saying nothing, definitely.
I would imagine one would curse a lot in that situation.. We are not the same!
I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I'll start talking to my self somehow.
Step one, get a girlfriend
That's too many steps, I'll just stick to talking with the voices in my head

For months at a time unfortunately! Lmfao- Use the phone+ call friends and family- people aren't around forever
This is why cats exist
when I was a bachelor. what bachelor hasn't.
Got too many vocal cats I talk back to. Don't think I can go an hour unless I'm sleeping.
They don't even need to be vocal, sometimes they're just sitting there and I go "¿¿¿QUÉ PASA???"
I don't even speak Spanish man
I like speaking farci or erdu to mine(not a brag, I'm not fluent in either)
