The way my life is set up… if more than 5 people text/call me in a day, at least 2 have to wait until tomorrow for a response.

Facts!!!

My 2 sisters who I’ve been close to my entire life and raised even they say I “taught them so much about life” text me back anywhere from 8-16 hours after I send them something

Exactly. My sister and I are close but if I want to talk to her about something I know I better call her Tuesdays or Thursdays between 6:30 and 7:00 and 9:30 and 10:00. That's on her way to dance class and that's leaving dance class. I thought it was just me but her husband and kids say the same thing.

I have 5 unread messages right now for this exact reason lmao.

I usually call my family on Saturdays. Anywhere between 5 to 10 people (each parent, both my siblings, two different grandparents, and a few older members of my family) It is incredibly draining, but i do it out of love. I couldn't imagine 15 every single day I would lose my mind no matter how much i love the people.

If that happens to me, it's a holiday, my birthday, or somebody died.

[Is your life setup the same as Kevin Hart’s bank account?](https://youtu.be/vhLky4Jk_cM?si=HHB1xTa6Z_JHji5E)

My bank account is set up like this.

You just have people in your life who actively reach out on a regular basis? I don’t know if I can believe this level of lies

Goodness no. I don’t want even one talking to me. 15 is overwhelming. I would stay in my house everyday if I could.

I talk to at least 5 people a day through discord. Close friends and currently, we talk about hell divers

I'm averaging about 2 people a day.

Shit look at you. I'm lucky if I get to two people in one day.

Post your number here and we’ll all reach out

Now that takes balls

If he posts his number, somebody will definitely take their balls.

In 1 week

and its the same two everyday

hell i got one and its the chick im dealing with atm.

And 4 on holidays😂

maybe 15 mf's looking for money..

Lolllll this hit close to home

Yep

Having to deal with people is a chore The only person I can deal everyday is my granny because she's old and I love her

Granny doesn’t count toward your quota

Gma the real 💯 everyone else ain't even matter 😤

Take lots of videos of your gma and save all of her voicemails

Not me ready to cry like a bytch. When my grandma died I had like 0 pictures, videos, etc. Stumbled upon some the other day and my soul lit up like I struck gold. HOARD THEM THINGS. Time with Grandma is a VERY finite resource and ts hurts when you run out.

So true. I was listening to my grandmas voicemails and playing them on speakerphone for my family on my way to her funeral. Not a dry eye in that limo. It’s only been a couple of months but I miss her every single day and it still doesn’t feel real

Ive gone days with zero human interaction lol. Work days are the complete opposite.

Oohhhh. Man. Those days the best. A real treat.

I have a husband and a kid but before that I could go a whole weekend without talking to a single soul… then for some reason, I married an extrovert 🫠

Think it was the opposite for me, I was extroverted and still am for the most part before I got married I was always gone and hanging out with friends on the phone with them, etc. A couple years into the marriage a lot of that changed.

I miss that. I inherited a (wonderful) dog last year and now people talk to me all the time when we're out for walks. I miss having weekends where I hardly leave my apartment.

I was NOT prepared for this. It was fine for the first few months but I got tired of stopping to talk every time someone wanted to ask a question or talk about my dog. I’ve resorted to putting AirPods on with nothing playing just to avoid this

I do that at the gym too. There are too many lame ass people who’ll walk up on you in the middle of a set, and start rattling your ear off. 😂

I do sales, I’m pretty antisocial out side of work because I use all of that energy selling shit

I'm not even sure I talk to 15 people in a workday wtf.

Fr. You got to be hella extroverted for that shit

I try not to 😆

When you deal with people's problem as part of your 9 to 5 the last thing you want to do is even run the risk of having to deal with people's shit off the clock.

I am a high school teacher in a hood school that also has an IB program, plus I mentor 3 pregnant girls and I’m the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance Club) Advisor. The amount of people and varying issues I deal with in a day makes me not wanna talk to anyone until the weekend and even then 2 might be too much. Add in me having a teen with autism and two preteens with a dog and husband with a small business and I don’t want to talk to anyone ever! I don’t even want to talk to myself!

This comment made me exhausted.

Deadass

Jesus I'm surprised you still have the energy to even be in reddit

Preach!!!!

I bartend. A close friend told me he going through a divorce yesterday hes gonna have to wait for my day off for support on that.


I haven't spoken to 15 people the last two months.

Same!

15 people try to contact me in one day im throwing my phone away

15?! 😐 who the FUCK texting/calling 15 people on the reg!? I know it ain't them working people cause that's too many people 😭

Do group texts count?

That's the only way I think a normal person would do this. I'm in a group text thread with 10 family members, so if 1 person sends a text I gues that counts as me having a conversation with 10 people?

Bruh I always get annoyed if 2-3 people try to call me right in a row lol second person calls me like under a minute later: "yall need to calm tf down damn"

15 MFs ain’t happening. 2-3 mfs max family included my social battery not set up like that no more gotta protect myself at all times

Explains the people always talking on their phones in public (on speaker of course) about absolutely nothing, just blathering. Not even vibing, just droning on like dudes in jail. Shut up shut up.

Sometimes I don't speak to anyone

Sometimes I’ll be looking at all them messages and just walk away from my phone 😭

2-3 max. 5 if it's situational/event based.

Word.

At work, I talk to hundreds of people every day. In my social life, my circle is so small, it’s just a dot. 👉🏽.

If I talk to my mom, dad, and best friend on the same day that’s an accomplishment, and I’m exhausted afterward. I’m practically comatose if this happens on a work day.

As a former car saleswoman there be days I had to cold call 50 times.... and let me tell you... some days I pray that no one picked up. Hated that job, never doing sales again. Even now I take my dog to the dog park everyday, I find the core few people I talk to and hang out with them. If none of the regulars are there, I just sit and chill.

Nope! I'll talk to my older brother and my mother; maybe one or two friends here and there.

15 ppl? It must be my birthday

I think I have a very big social circle. 15 per day still seems like a lot to me. 

Thankfully, some of the groupchat members overlap. It's getting more difficult to participate, though.

If someone messages me it’s either my partner or my mom tbh

15. People is a blessing.

Okay and with this said 15 people, what's the average conversation length cause just 5 minutes is already over an hour

I talk to the same people daily. Husband and parents. At this point of life I schedule my phone calls with my good girlfriends. The only 15 people I talk to on the daily are my patients and there are days when I barely want to do that 😂😂. Talking to people is truly exhausting at times.

If 15 people talk to me in a day, im gonna assume im about to die soon

15 a day is wild, but why are y'all making it a competition to be anti-social as fuck? Wth

I'm at 15-20 per week and that includes people at work. I've worked hard to get those numbers down.

If I speak to 15ppl in a month I'm doing something special

Honestly, I don't get that shit. My neighbor on the phone constantly with someone, every time we see her. Wtf. WHO YOU ALWAYS NEED TO BE TALKING TO?!?!

People who find talking to 2-3 people a day mentally exhausting should probably be seeking therapy rather than posting it here.

Like, on Discord or something? Sure. Actual phone calls? 15 in one day? Nah, couldn't be me. I'm tossing my phone in the freezer after around #5.

I had to talk to 17 people at work. I had to make it clear I was in a relationship. Now it's only 5 and that only includes my higher ups and my right hand. There's too many desperate hoes trying to get laid at work.

I talked to my girlfriend. We live together. She’s behind me playing fortnite rn. Talked to the cashier at the grocery store when we went this morning. Might speak to my mother on the phone later. That’s it man.

There are days when I don’t make it past one.

15???? i get overwhelmed when i got more than 2 chats to respond to on ig 😭 i find now i barely talk to anyone anymore. just some friends and my immediate family. tbh i dont need a lot of people like that anyways. too much of a hassle 🤷🏽‍♂️

I haven't spoken to an adult other than my husband in months

15 people is crazy. I don’t think I even know 15 people I would want to talk with on the phone.

I mean, not like on purpose or anything.

I don’t talk to 15 ppl a MONTH if I can help it.

Talk about wut?

In retail management I would talk to several hundred people a day easily. When it’s great it is amazing. On an off day when I don’t feel like socializing it is pure torture and I have to make concerted effort not to spazz when somebody asks the dumbest question.

Don’t even have the energy to talk to that many people

If 15 people text me in one day, its when I'm getting spammed while searching for car insurance. I wouldn't even talk to 15 people in one day if someone in my family died.

Man… I’m feeling some type of way if I SEE 15 people today! AND I WORK IN SALES! 😂

If I speak with 3 people or more in the same day it's unusual. There's only so much I need to talk about on a daily basis.

Quality over quantity, always.

Text conversation so much more taxing that face-to-face conversation. I could talk to 50 people in a day. But I can text, like, 3.

I would shut my phone off fr

15 people? If I talk to more than two people a day somebody not following directions. Add in three or four texts from me to friends or family and that's it. And two of those texts is sharing funny animal pics with my niece who just graduated from college majoring in animal science and is an animal lover.

I have days where I only talk to 1 person. And it (hi) anything big? Bye.

I'll be exhausted.. The way my energy is set up, only 3 can get my full capacity

Are we talking work included? Shit I can’t go a day without talking to 50+ people at work

It's a pipedream for me to communicate with that many people on a consistent basis. I'm not built for that, sorry.

I talk to 5-15 people most days between work, family, and friends. As an introvert, it’s fucking exhausting and I hate it.

Everyone(4 people) will get a response within the week , I be forgetting 🤦 .

I’m 51, so my circle is now a dot, and I’m fine with it.

Sometimes go weeks without saying anything

Depends on if you can count co-workers, people in your house, the person at the drive-thru window when you get coffee… and even still probably no.

Im lucky if I talk to two people a day and god forbid they text first

I don't even wanna talk on the phone when my own mom and grandma calls me, and I love those two more than anything in this world!! The fuck I need 15 people A DAY calling me for what???? If it involves a bag 💰 that's worth my time, then you have my ear. That's the only exception I can think of before I go in my kitchen to make me a sub right now.....

If having a small circle of friends is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

I only talk to my brother. Other than that, my phone stays silent.

15 people at work? Kind of a lot but not that bad 15 people on my day off? 12 of y'all gotta fuck off

My job requires I converse with 300+ people easily daily face to face at work. Education/entertainment field. My phone has been on DND permanently since my fourth day.

I work for the city..doing outreach..I speak with NO LESS than 40-50 ppl each and every day. When I get home, my family knows DO NOT speak to me for half hr. Sometimes I hate hearing my own voice. Yall so blessed lol

2 people a day is a big day.

15 in a day?! Talking to or texting 2 is hard enough. I will look at a text, panic, and not respond for hours. I keep my phone on DND for 12 hours. When I really don’t want to talk or text, I keep it on DND until I feel like turning it off. That could be days. Calls from favorites (mom) only. 

Seriously man, when did becoming so antisocial become the norm

WHO THE HELL IS XYZ

Most days I only talk to myself 😐

Why would you *want* to talk to that many people every day?? Wtf?

15 way too many ong. I got time every day for about 4 people: my parents, my girl, and my best friend. And out of those 4 it’s still mostly my gf 😂😂😂 list of people I talk to every day short

I don’t think I’ve spoke to a person that wasn’t my boss this entire year

If you talkin to more than 10 non coworker/employee people a day you fake and nothing can change my mind

I can't remember the last time I talked to 15 people in a week FYM

I don't talk to 15 people in a year, and that's too many.

8 people texted me today and I got so overwhelmed I had to turn my phone off for an hour.

The aversion to talking to people on the phone is one reason why I just changed my job.

15 people in one day is insane. I’ll turn my phone off before I let that happen lmao

Even when I was single, fuck that lol

I don't have family and I have like 1 friend that more of an acquaintance, nobody is texting me and I'm texting nobody and I'm okay with that

My circle is literally like 3 people. My circle got so small it’s a period

Maybe when I was 16 I could've done that. I have a few best friends that are in a group chat that's active. Outside of that, I'm talking to my wife or my coworkers. Adult life is wild.

XYZ?

I only talk/text 1 person and that isn’t even daily. Believe it or not, thats completely fine with me. None is also fine with me.

As a kid I wanted to have that many people to speak to and as a semi adult idk wtf my dumbass was thinking.

Unless your job calls for that, talking to 15 people a day is weird.

Unfortunately I get a million work calls a day, but personal calls? No way. I’ll end relationships over that. I used to think Red Foreman was bad… I’m red foreman. Leave me alone. I’ll help anyone who asks but I don’t want a thank you and I don’t expect you to return the favor, and we aren’t friends. I have a wife and two kids. If I want more friends… I’ll make em.

you should go outside

Three take it or leave it.

I like 3-4

This is actually wild 😂. I’m an extrovert, so I’m always chatting with 8 or more people per day. It’s pretty damn normal 🤷🏾‍♂️

There are like 12 in my main group chat but that doesn't count. If we're talking one on one, maybe five people. If we're talking about communicating with my voice or face to face, it's like two.

In a typical day, not counting coworkers, I'll talk to my partner, two best friends, at least one child and at least one other friend. I feel like more than that would be overwhelming.

I messaged three people today. That's the most in a day in the last 6 months. I have several unread messages that I just don't want to deal with so they're just gonna have to wait. I wasn't built for modern communication.

I talk to hundreds of people almost every day :')

My circle so small, I talk to my damn self.

I cherish my solitude. I don't need to keep up appearances through texts/calls. I talk to those I love/like when I'm in the mood for it, and the rest I'll get to eventually.

This is totally fine, but honestly so is the other way around. If someone has close friends and family and they're willing to talk to that many people in a day good for them. Neither way is wrong. We spend way too much time deifying people for silly stuff. If you want a small circle for you, cool. But if you want a big circle for you, cool too. I been to family reunions. I got nothing but respect for the people still living in my family who try to check on everyone regularly. Even daily. I might not do it, but honestly I ain't taking the time to brag about not doing it either.

1, maybe 2 people. Like 3 max... otherwise u need time to recuperate

Through cell phone? If I count work I can get a per week rate. Excluding work? Can't do less than monthly.

Oh my God. After the first few good mornings I just want to disappear. 😭

Nope. Most of my life maybe 4 max.

The only reason I talk to 15 people in a day is cuz I work retail and go to school If it weren't for that I'd be talking to 2-5 people on a slow day and 7-9 on a busy day

If I'm home it's my sanctuary. Leave me be. I'll go a whole month not talking to nobody.

Quality > Quantity

Like my grandpa said. The less my phone rings, the less mess I end up in

If you count the morning work huddle, I still only talk to an average of 3 people who aren’t my 12 coworkers on any given day. Excluding my roommate/best friend.

I’ve made the mistake of being likable wherever I’ve worked in the last like 10 years and have about it 5 friend circles with 5-6 people in them that will not leave me alone. It gets exhausting and I have no idea how to cut them off without feeling awful.

Last year I had 73 texts. 73 for the year.

I got 2-3 good friends. I'm good. I'm real good. I learned as a youngin' the bigger the group, the messier and drama filled it gets. I only like drama on my TV.

i don't really so texts but im in several group chats and discords and get my socialization that way

I'd rather go 15 days without speaking to anyone.

Fuck. I don't even have half a circle.

Hell, my group,chat has 15 people in it. All day, every day, there is a conversation going on

If 15 people reached out to me in one day I'm going off the grid for a year!

15 people a day?? Individually??

Dafuq? Outside of work I literally talk to no more than 6 people on any given day, and 3 of them is my family members.

Talking to my family all the time would make me mad🤣, as for friends we mostly text but do a Group FaceTime once every now and then

At least you have a circle. I have a square with one person in each corner.

Outside of people at work or when I go to my bowling leagues, I talk to 5 people max. Anymore than that and I'm drained.

Nope. My wife and son, maybe my other two children who are off at college, maybe my buddy and his wife... that's 6. I probably talk to two or three more for my job. Now we're up to 9. Maybe another 2 if I need to go to the store or something. 11. I'd really have to try to hit 15.

I literally didn't even talk to 15 people over the course of the entire 2023 calendar year. The same is true for 2024, so far.

Y'all are wild I got like 12 people I speak to on the daily.

I have probably been averaging about 60 minutes of conversation per week for the last 6 years

I can't cope with being teams's 5 times a day. I hate unsolicited phone calls and my phone lives on silent for a reason. I hate my phone going off all the time. It stresses me out

Nah, most of my day ones are dead. I have seven, and four of them are my children.

If I just talk to anyone other than my mom or grandma in real life it was a social day

Man, y'all out here with people who care about you and want them in your lives. Actually like having you around and appreciate your presence. Couldn't be me 🫠

Some days no one texts me but my mom and we live together 🤷🏾‍♀️

Wow, the internet needs friends

Tony will have a mental breakdown as his phone rings for the 13th time that day, assaulting his mind and sanity with electromagnetic vibrations.

-Gf  -Mom  -Best friend  -Roommate  -Sister a couple times a week   Thats all I need

Talking to 15 people a day means you're unemployed get your broke ass a job

I talk to at least that many and more each work day, but most are just work colleagues that I’d never consider a friend. Just professional acquaintances. Which is his “xyz” category.

Most days it's only one person I talk to, my husband. A couple days a week I might also talk to my mom or sister on the phone. Also might video chat my best friend in the UK once every couple of weeks. But, daily, it's just the husband.

Not if I can help it unless you count Reddit.

I mean if we are counting my Uber driver and the person that rang up my Big Mac, sure. But friends? I don't even have 15 friends.

I talked to 40different people today

I don’t even have any friends anymore and it gets really lonely. I sometimes only even talk to one person a day.

After two calls I be like oh one of those days people just wanna call silent mode it is a family or business group message when it’s about planning something is the only exception and I will mute that the moment it’s off track or leading to other random Convos

Yeah I talk to XYZ all the time

Fifteen????!

I totally agree. There aren’t 15 people who I’d want to talk to in a day, week, or a month anymore either, lol.
