you’d think it’d be really hard to stay silent all the time. i know i had trouble when i was younger and decided i didn’t want to speak anymore; i broke nearly twenty minutes or so later

but quite honestly, after the first hurdle… it’s not.

for me, that hurdle passed when i was unable to speak due to a throat illness in january of 2023

but

to say i have not spoken a word in the past two and a half years would be a falsehood, although i loathe to admit it, i’ve, if i were to overestimate, maybe spoken for 2-3 hours

if you were someone who could be interested in this path, however, i can’t recommend it in the slightest

i love it. it doesn’t mean it’s healthy

i do get lonely if i’m not near or interacting with people, and it’s not too rare that i am lonely

i’m lonely right now. nobody is able to converse with me on a matter i actually remotely care about

but the thought of talking to people, opening my gullet and saying words to another person, and them hearing me. it’s quite dreadful.

there’s a tonne of downsides. people oft, on the rare (most people would say, but i quite think it’s too regularly) occassions i see a person such as a stranger or even most of my own family, they think i’m not intelligent or act like an animal

and people don’t really enjoy conversations, i can’t make friends, etc etc

but it’s not something i can really compound giving up

it’s an emotional human thing to want other people to hear your voice, i think, and i’m not too emotional of a person

maybe if i get happier my mind will change, but for now

i’ll stick to the silence
