    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!

    If I didn’t talk to myself out loud or use voice-to-text on my phone to leave internet comments, I’d be on day 5 of vocal silence right now.

    Nope, I talk to my dog and three times a day we walk around the block and inevitably someone will wave and say hello

    When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)

    Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn’t even sure if I’d have a voice that day.

    I solve this problem by occasionally yelling at bafflingly stupid current events, as recounted by various youtubers/podcasts.

    Gotta keep up that ability to insult on the fly.

    Stretch those creativity brain pathways, in addition to your vocal cords.

    Either that or cursing myself out for writing bafflingly bad code, from time to time.

    … Less insanely, I also sing, and… have neighbors I talk to, go outside from time to time, chat up randos.

      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
