i think i want to go mute. not permanently, just for a few months. still talking for things like academics, but i write, i don't have much verbal needs irl for money. i don't know why i want to do this. not depression perse, almost a feeling of purging? have any of you gone mute or considered it? i don't know what input im looking for, but im curious what you all have to say. :+)

Tried it when i was a kid; couldn't do it in school but tried on family and everything else. Family kept forcing situations so i would speak and i gave up.
It is hard to do but if you manage it some speech habits can be erased. You may be able to think more and better too, at least that is the feeling i had but as i caved in very quickly there was no actual change.

It is a kind of purging. Purging from cultural framework. It is like not reading anything for a good month, really improves your eye sight and gives you a new angle. Wider somehow.

Parents will often speak too much to their kids, rather than just showing. Explain too much, etc. In this sense, speaking can become a way to escape loneliness, or to give importance to your little needs, making up stories and all. It's like a food, imo we feed off it too much.

To just shut up for a while, not have this need or desire for conversation, things may get wider somehow …

I see words as the only sounds in nature that only have one meaning.
