Without socializing with anybody?

Please define "socialization".

No verbal, nonverbal and written communication?
No personal contact?
No meaningful convo?
No interactions passive or whatsoever?
Do online interactions count?

I honestly don't know. There isn't yet a whole day that I never interacted with anyone.

If I can make a guess and if I can afford to just do never face another person -- I can bet on years. Potentially forever.

I don't feel loneliness, sometimes I feel the opposite of loneliness that feels invasive instead.
I don't know because dodging them is hard -- being alone in a space that is mine and mine alone from them is a luxury. So I don't truly know yet.

And I yearn for the day when I can afford to give up on words altogether.
But like the concept of language itself, it felt like I don't have a choice or have another option...

This is kind of general, but I would say communication with people can be limited for me.

1.Talking to parents on the phone once or twice a week (they live in another part of the country)

2. At work, I talk to a couple of people all the time. However, most of them I hardly say a word to or it only pertains briefly to work.

3. At home, no one. Since it's just me here.

Three months when I had pneumonia in the Winter of 2011.

Maybe a week. Depends what you mean by socialising. I guess you mean anything above and beyond exchanging a very few pleasant words with a shop assistant or other person who isn't a friend as such. Do my audiocalls with my wife count?

Aside from people serving at the shop or the odd hi to a neighbor it would be few years so far for me not having any personal interaction or physical contact or even a phone call. I actually don't talk to anyone I don't have to.

Close to 10 years since any interaction with a loved one.

However I do have a doggy, who I talk to and interact with all day and night, without that I would surely go insane.
