How many people have you spoken to today?

[bloodywhitecat]

I haven't spoken to a single soul and am not likely to tomorrow either, it feels weird to not have spoken to a single person in 24 hours.

In real life, 1.

Lots of WhatsApp messages to dd and friends.

Only my children, like most days.

Couple of people in person and quite a few on Whatsapp.

2 dc, dh and the friend I had lunch with

DH, DD, the barman at the pub, a few staffa several shops, and a couple on the very crowded bus on the way home. It was a good day actually, sometimes I only speak to DH & DD.

My elderly mum on the phone and the immediate family I live with.

About 20, but I'm on holiday and walked around town a couple of times today.

None, in person.
Maybe 5 or so texts to two different people.
Going out with a friend tomorrow though!

1. My partner, our 2 children, video call with my aunt and the checkout lady in Co-Op

About 14, DC & DC, 3 friends for afternoon tea and the football mums this morning.

DH & DC!

Quite a few IRL as we were wandering about town today after dance class. Three or four in WhatsApp, and three friends on Signal.

Dad (I'm his carer)
Woman on the supermarket checkout (I'm in every day, most of them talk to me)
Neighbour said hello - or was that yesterday?

1. My DD (14)

Daughter (lives with me)
Ex and his GF (came round for coffee)
Brother
3 friends on the phone
Delivery man
Neighbour

Nobody today.

We've only spoken to each other (me and dh) it's nice when the girls call or the gc, may give them a call.

We both volunteer these days, usually different days, so we get to talk to other people. After lockdown we find it takes extra effort to meet up with friends, we've become almost reclusive. We need to make more effort.

Oh, and I messaged my db. But not my dd or dgd, because it's weekend.

Probably 15ish? Been out for coffee, lots of dog-walking chat, charity shop trawl in the afternoon so spoke to the people working in them, my three kids and DH. My mum on facetime.

My DH, 3 DCs, my DSis who is staying with us, my DD’s friend’s mum who came to pick up some eye drops, 10 kids and 12 parents and aunts and uncles at my DD’s best friend’s birthday party, 2 friends with whom we went apple picking, and various people at the orchard. Many texts with my DM coordinating a dinner I’m hosting on Monday. Many texts with my DSIL who has shared her lovely wedding photos with us. Several work IMs and emails because work never stops.

I don’t envy you for a day without speaking to a soul, but meeting somewhere in the middle between “nobody” and “half the universe” would be nice.

Maybe ten?
DH, friend for lunch, other friends for coffee, people in shops and cafe, and then seeing friends for dinner tonight.

If I don’t see people then madness lies that way, so I have to plan in company for the weekends

Too many. Working all weekend in a job where I speak to many many people every day. It's exhausting!

About 12 people at sport class, social event, family I live with. But honestly, I still feel lonely. I'm not sure why.
