This is pretty much me.
Messi?
Lol, now that you mention it.
I don't get why people have to talk all the time. Especially when no one seems to have anything interesting or important to say most of the time.
And how verbose people must be when they talk? Ugh. I get the message with just a few words.
...
At times i really don't feel like i fit in with the rest of humanity.

About 5 days.
Fair few years ago I lost my job and I only lived in the city for a couple of months so I didn't really know anyone.
I didn't notice until after a day or so. I just decided to not talk for a while.
I was very depressed back then. It made me feel weird as fuck and didn't help the situation at all.
Then some old dude started chatting to me at the train station. It made me feel alive again.

How do you spend that much time alone?

It's called Facebook messaging.

I'm not sure what the longest I've ever gone without talking to someone is, but it was probably around the time I first moved into my apartment and didn't have a job yet. Even then, I doubt I ever went more than two days or so.

I've gone a couple of days without talking. Mostly in grad school because I had my own apartment and quite often skipped class. I'd occasionally just chill at home and watch movies all day and night.
Now that I actually have a job, it would be weird if I didn't talk.

Quite the opposite, actually.

5 days. I had strep throat and couldn't say a word.
I think I went 1-2 days without talking to anyone last time I was sick. I talk to people everyday...it would feel strange not to.
I live with roommates, go to work, and see my family once or twice a week. I would have to go out of my way to not talk to anyone. Even if I don't talk to anyone in person I'll probably talk to friends online.

This. I talk to myself constantly, especially if no one else is around. I like vocalizing my thoughts, a lot. I think I would go crazy if I couldn't.
I talk to myself.....a lot (when I find myself alone)
I tend to narrate most things I'm do, from trivial tasks to cooking, I get something in. Now that I think about it, when I'm exercising or mowing the lawn or something along those lines I listen to podcasts and I laugh out loud along with them...hmmm, I must be a weird sight to behold from the outside.

Maybe it's just me but gaf is turning into a really scary place.
Yeah dude, it's the quiet ones you've gotta watch out for.

I've gone nearly a month without speaking before. I can go a week without speaking easily.
Why do you think that is?

Not talking to anyone for that long? People really dont have friends or family they talk to everyday?
Just seems kinda sad there are so many people who are alone for days on end.
I want to be alone. Have friends and others, just that i really prefer not talking them, unless i need to, and they're fine with that more or less.
I'm sure there are more people like me, nothing sad about it.
Now if someone really wants to talk but can't... that's sad

Aren't humans social creatures though? Friends call me everyday and I talk to my family nearly everyday.
Just to me personally I couldn't go that long without talking to people.
Every other week is enough for me. Usually.
Strongly introverted, i really don't like staying around other people for long.
Besides, the internet is a good substitute, i get to talk here. If i didn't, i'd probably want to meet people more often.
I'm surprised that so many people are surprised to the point of asking if some of us don't have friends.
It's pretty easy for me to go long stretches of time without verbally talking with people. However it's a rare day if I don't talk with anyone at all. 99% of my communication nowadays is through text messages (AIM, Skype chatrooms, etc). So me going a whole day without verbally talking with anyone is quite common.

A good way to practice talking when people aren't around is to pretend you're the host of a cooking show

I talk to myself to break silence too.
The longest I went was maybe 2 days or so occasionally in college. Then I'd start speaking to myself or reading aloud to break my self imposed monotony.
