I went on a retreat when I was 17 or 18 and we had to go without speaking for a long while. I don't remember how long it was, but it was very interesting.
I had wanted to repeat the experiment, and I think I tried to a few times, but that was many years ago.
Today, it could never happen. Even though I usually don't talk at all first thing in the morning, during the day, I burst out into song all the time, especially making up songs with my kids' names in them. Oh, I am a fiendish mom!
I do know of someone who had to go three whole months without speaking, but she was a singer and had polyps on her vocal chords. It was either don't talk for three months, or never sing again.
That would be pretty good incentive to keep quiet for me.

Back when I was a teen, I most certainly could and did. (You know, the sulky, attitudinal teen I was). Now, it's just not possible because I work in sales/reservations and I'm on the phone 24/7. But I do wish sometimes that I could just not say a word.

I never have but it would be fun to try it if I had someone else to do it with me. I would probably lose because I talk way to much to go that long without a word. LOL!!

Not since infancy!!
I could use a day without talking to *other* people, from time to time, but I couldn't bear to stifle myself for more than a few hours. I sometimes, truly, just like the sound of my own voice.

Saying a word yes, writing a word, no.

Oh yes :o)
Though I have sometimes caught myself ruining it by mumbling or snarling along to music - which is as close as I get to singing. But it don't count if nobody else can hear it, right?

I used to try this almost everyday in elementary school, and I was successful many times.
