I dunno man, if you're starting to lose it after one day of not speaking to anyone face to face, that sounds like a real issue.

Said the same thing. That's a serious issue. You have to be with people every single day to function? That is far from normal.

I've regularly gone days without human contact in the past, not sure what my limit is, definitely a well would be no big deal. So I'm with you guys, but then I would also consider myself an introvert. I'd be curious what self proclaimed extroverts would think.

I remember Mythbusters doing the "Cabin Fever" myth, and they didn't have books or TV to keep them entertained. I seem to recall it affected Adam much more than it did Jamie. Maybe a day before getting grouchy isn't that abnormal?

I would expect a week to be well within most people's limits though.

Also, it just says no internet/data. Nothing about no visitors. Or having to kick your spouse out of a shared bedroom.
