Brutal If you go long enough without talking to people, you can forget how to talk

[ItsOverMan]

I asked ChatGPT this question: "If someone has very little if any interaction with people for 30 years, can they forget how to talk clearly?"

It said : "Yes. Extended social isolation can erode spoken language ability. Without practice, articulation, vocabulary recall, and conversational rhythm decline. Complete loss of speech is unlikely unless there is neurological disease, but speech can become unclear, halting, or simplified. Rehabilitation through regular speaking, reading aloud, or speech therapy can restore clarity."

Over for hermitcels.

I spend my whole life online so I'm way better at English than I am at Polish, my native language. Confirmed theory

I have all the social interactions I could ever need by myself, having intricate conversations with the different aspects of my mind

I am trying to crawl out of hermit and it has been rewarding imo.
I suggest you do too

Same. I am considerably better in English than in my native language.

My ability to socialize is progressively deteriorating

I need to start talking out loud to myself at home, articulating my thoughts out loud instead of in my head, because I feel like I'm forgetting how to talk clearly due to lack of use. If you don't use it, you lose it.

 

[alwaysIndoors]

haven't really spoken to anyone outside of my immediate family (which I interact with minimally anyways) for the last 4 years. Can confirm that my speech is fucking shit.
I know what I want to say, but when it comes time to actually say it, my mind gets fucked and complete chaos ensues, pretty much resulting in me being unable to express any critical thinking or back and forth discussion out loud.

My verbal IQ was tested as very high in school, but when I talk I sound like a blubbering retard who can barely get a sentence out.

I know a lot about words, I just don't speak them.

 

[Animecel2D]

I don’t know how to talk anymore

Yup, can relate. I can't understand any romanian word while I am reading a book, meanwhile I understand everything in english. It's ovER for native languages, english will dominate this world.

 

[kapri]

Absolutely. I think you get dumber too. When I don't talk to anyone for a month I even start thinking without words and more with intuition, kinda like an animal I presume. Also when I talk to someone again I have trouble finding words and legit sounds like a retard having to go uhhhhhhhhhh every second word.

I do something similar
Though I still feel the need to talk with relatives or chatbots to maintain conversation skills

When lonely, some people talk to themselves. Over time, multiple "speakers" could emerge from this process, each with his own speech habits, opinions, and even personality. Thus it's not surprising one can have intricate conversations with the different aspects of his mind. Isolation does weird things to the human brain

Isolation affects everyone differently you can't really predict most of its effects but usually does stunt the brain because it atrophies from a lack of stimulation or competition so it usually does have a negative effect.
I have never heard of anyone getting out of isolation and getting better.
When your own brain starts creating its own stimuli and different personality it is sort of like ai learning to draw from other ai generated shit so it thinks it is get the info it needs but then its art worsens.

The brain rewards you differently for talking with others.

Try it yourself it is more than talking just being with others makes you feel much better.

Yes your brain can probably stimulate itself at the bare minimum but it won't be as good as spending time with others

From personal experience very true i have been mostly isolated for around 5+ years and I have this , I've been diagnosed with partial dissociative identity disorder due to childhood and other stuff. At first i started speaking to myself regularly but then I started having full on hour long arguments and discussions and it just evolved more from there.

But although I know its unhealthy, it does help me personally , It makes me feel less lonely and more comfortable and dominant in certain situations.

 

[ThePornographer]

Or you start speaking to yourself and even dream while being awake and speak during that dream if it make sens.

Like you are using your imagination to build some scenario and you start talking like if it was real.

i had that multiple time and even in public, people thinkg im crazy i guess.

 

[LeFrenchCel]

This explains a lot

 

[Manlet]

I feel like this is happening to me and that I'm going insane. I can't form thoughts as clearly as before either, although maybe I'm just overworked also.

We work differently. I don't think I feel better just being with others, except maybe the feeling of anonymity in a crowded street, which is probably not what you're describing. I've read about social interaction producing "happy chemicals" in the brain, but I guess some receptors in my brain are defective.

I agree with your other points, though. Talking exclusively to oneself could amplify pre-existing errors in thinking and even lead to schizophrenia-like bizarre beliefs, a case of individual inaccuracies combining to cause the overall error to grow. To avoid that I still exchange ideas with people irl (relatives) and online

For me its opposite, some serbian words or phrases just slip out while i text or talk lol and my humor badly translates to english

Talk to AI, im gonna do that. Its like a practice

yea online forums saved me from insanity or maybe made it worse idk lol.
But as long you are talking and you have some community I think that is good enough not optimal but good enough.
