How long?
25 Answers
How long do you think you could go without human company before you started losing the plot. Not necessarily stranded on a desert island but just not knowing anyone?

4getmenot, I not sure I ever had the plot to begin with!
Had to laugh last night, I am in the house all day and dont know anyone in the area, mrwarpig came home last night and said that his pupils were doing his head in. I said that he should go to the optician. He looked at me like I had lost my marbles and said 'how many time do I have to tell you I am a teacher, I was talking about the kids!'. Think I should get out more, ha,ha!

Quite a long time I reckon. I like my own company so at first I'd probably chat openly to myself all the time and sing and dance and generally be making myself laugh. Then I'd go through a quiet, reflective stage. Then the next stage would be me crying a lot because I miss company. But that would only last a few days I reckon before I'd level out and have a mixture of stages 1 & 2 again.

Surely though if you didn�t know anyone and felt lonely, then you would get to know someone before you went loopdy-loo? And if you didn�t make the effort to get to know someone before you go loopdy-loo, then you probably would have already lost the plot before being lonely?
If you mean solitude in the sense of seclusion or isolation then people (mostly mad monks or wandering hermits) have been known to cope for years and years. It is when they try to integrate back into a mad society that their own sanity is affirmed.
Madness is just a state of mind (�well, and an 80�s ska band from North London but that�s irrelevant)

Octavius, good point. I am quite a social person and am used to going into work and talking and interacting with my colleagues. Now that I am not working I find myself starting conversations with complete strangers in Tescos and Sainsburys over food products, sad or what. However on the plus side, I now have a partime voluntary job in a Fair Trade shop, so hopefully that will stop me accosting strangers in supermarkets before someone complains about the mad irish woman lurking by the turnips!
